MOUNT PLEASANT--Katie Shea doubled home a pair of runs in the ninth inning to give Ball State a 2-0 win over Kent State in the Mid-American Conference tournament on Friday afternoon.
Shea's double scored Abby Willis and Janice Campbell to snap a 0-0 tie.
With the win, Ball State advances to take on Bowling Green in Friday's final game. Kent State is eliminated from the tournament.
