Saturday’s Mid-American conference game

Ball State 33, Eastern Michigan 31

YPSILANTI, Mich.

Steven Schott’s 44-yard field goal with 9 seconds left lifted Ball State over Eastern Michigan. Kody Fulkerson had put Eastern Michigan in front on a 20-yard kick with 1:18 remaining. But an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty gave Ball State a break, and Keith Wenning completed four short passes to get the Cardinals (6-4, 4-2 MAC) into range. It was Schott’s fourth field goal of the game. For the game, Wenning was 20 for 35 for 284 yards and two touchdowns, including a 94-yarder to Torieal Gibson for the game’s first score. He also found Barrington Scott for an 8-yard TD. Jahwan Edwards had a 15-yard rushing score. Alex Gillett was the offense for Eastern Michigan (5-4, 3-2), passing for 196 yards and four touchdowns.
