The team also broke the program records for walks drawn in a season and strikeouts thrown. However, Ball State took the 10-5 final in the elimination game.
For BGSU, TJ Takats hit a grand slam in the second inning to put the Falcons on the board first, but Ball State's offense tallied five in the fourth to move in front. The lead stretched to 9-4 for the Cardinals before a Nathan Archer solo shot stopped the scoring run for BSU. A run in the ninth for Ball State pushed the score to the 10-5 final. At the conclusion of the tournament, Jack Krause was named All-Tournament by the conference.
