The Ball State baseball team suffered a 16-1 defeat to in-state foe Indiana in its final game of the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla.

Indiana's Jake Kelzer put together six innings of no-hit baseball that was broken up by an Alex Call hit in the seventh inning. 

At this point, Indiana had amounted a sizable 11-0 lead, scoring in each of the first five innings.

Call would go on to have two of the three Ball State hits on the day, with the other coming from sophomore centerfielder Matt Eppers.

Eppers scored the Cardinals' lone run in the contest as well, crossing the plate in the ninth inning.
