BASEBALL: Renovations to Ball Diamond begin

The Ball State baseball program has used Ball Diamond for more than 40 years, and while it is still a serviceable field, history has taken its toll on the diamond’s condition.But thanks to a $20 million fundraising effort, the university is currently in the midst of renovating the Cardinals’ home field.Baseball head coach Rich Maloney, who began his second stint with Ball State prior to the 2013 season, has led the way for the Ball Diamond renovations, and understands its importance based on the shift in college baseball.“Really, if we want to count baseball as a true sport here in Muncie, Ind., then we’ve got to be able to commit resources,” Maloney said.
