The baseball game will not be made-up, however softball will play a doubleheader against Northern Illinois on April 11 in DeKalb, Illinois to make up for the wash out.
Coming into Tuesday, Ball State softball is second place in the MAC West standings, trailing Toledo by a half-game.
Ball State baseball is currently on a two-game skid after dropping the back end of its series against Central Michigan on Saturday and Sunday.
