Wellman on fire at the plate

The Cardinals surged above .500 with a seven-game winning streak. Billy Wellman was the catalyst.
Wellman was raised his batting average nearly 40 points as he has caught fire at the plate in the last two weeks, including a three-hit effort Saturday in the Ball State University baseball team’s 10-6 win over Toledo.
The redshirt junior went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI in the victory. He has gone 13-for-24 (.542) in the last seven games to lift his season average to .318.
Wellman had a hit and a run in Friday’s series opener against Toledo, and added two hits on Sunday. He went 2-for-4 with a run for the Cardinals (26-22) Tuesday against Indiana State.
