SOFTBALL: Ball State looks to wrap up championship

The Ball State University softball team looks to win the regular season Mid-American Conference title as it ends its regular season play this weekend at home against Miami University.

The Cardinals (26-22, 16-3) have had a five day break after playing 10 games in the previous 11 days. The team is also coming off a 3-1 road trip last weekend against the University of Akron and Ohio University.

Offensively, the Ball State bats have caught fire and last weekend the Cardinals scored 25 runs on 39 hits.

Jen Reifschneider hit three home runs, scored three runs and had seven RBIs en route to breaking the Ball State single-season home run record.

Lisa Rozanski stole three bases to improve her career record to 73, breaking the career record of 70. Her 30 stolen bases this year is the 17th best in the nation, while her seven triples on the season is fourth in the nation. As a team, Ball State is 15th in the nation in stolen bases at 48.

Miami (28-20, 13-7) is coming off a 1-3 record last weekend, also playing Akron and Ohio. Miami is in the middle of the pack in the MAC as it sits in fourth place, while Ball State leads the conference.

The top eight teams in the MAC advance to the MAC Tournament next weekend at the University of Akron.
