This weekend was the beginning of Ball State baseball's (2-2) 56 game regular season campaign. At the Swig and Swine tournament in Charleston, South Carolina, the Cardinals split its four games.
The Cardinals victory earned them a season sweep against the Falcons, as Ball State won the first meeting 81-80 Jan. 1.

In its three losses, Ball State has lost by a combined 11 points. As the MAC Tournament picture takes shape, head coach Brady Sallee said the Cardinals are not capitalizing during final possessions.
