February 20, 2022 | Baseball
CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Ball State baseball team was back at The Shipyard Park for the final day of the Swig & Swine Collegiate Classic with a matchup against Army on Sunday.

For the fourth-straight game, Amir Wright has led off with a hit for the Cardinals. Ryan Peltier followed with a double down the left field line to score Wright. Trenton Quartermaine kept things going with a single through the left side to give BSU runners on the corners. Nick Powell grounded out to first, but Peltier was able to score to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead at the end of the first.
The Black Knights got two runs back in the top of the third and tied the game 2-2.
Wright started the bottom of the fifth off with a double in the right center gap. Peltier ripped a double down the left field line to score Wright from second. Zach Lane notched two RBIs with a single through the left side. BSU took a 5-2 lead into the sixth.
