Throughout his career, which started in New Orleans and currently sits in Baltimore, he has amassed 242 catches for just fewer than 3,000 yards and 13 touchdowns. While not your perennial Pro Bowler, Snead has made a name for himself despite not hearing it called on draft day.

In Ball State Baseball’s (3-7, 0-0 MAC) month-long trip down south in February, it took the Cardinals a couple series to find their groove. After the first two weekends, they stood at 2-5, but they picked it up in the second half of the trip, going 6-3 the rest of the way.

In 14 seasons as Ball State’s head coach, Rich Maloney had never taken the Cardinals (2-4, 0-0 MAC) to Texas. He did this past weekend, and he left Sunday with a winning record in the Lone Star State after taking two of three from Houston Baptist (2-6, 0-0 SLC).
Ball State came into the new year ranked 39th on Collegiate Baseball’s 2020 Preseason NCAA Division I Baseball Poll. After three losses this past weekend, having been outscored 29-4 by Georgia Southern in their first game in nine months, the Cardinals may not rank quite as high when the next poll comes out.

With Athletic Director Beth Goetz announcing an extension in Neu’s future, it’s clear the improvements go beyond the win total.
