Joshua Scott had an interception for the Eagles (4-7, 4-4 Mid-American Conference), who held the Cardinals (4-6, 3-3) to 225 total yards and three field goals.
Kim scored on a 1-yard sneak to cap a 58-yard on the first Eastern Michigan possession. Kim's 43-yard connection to Jamarien Wheeler made it 14-3 before a field goal made it 17-3.
Tavierre Dunlap scored on a 36- yard run in between a pair of Ball State field goals. Cardinals kicker DC Pippin connected from 32, 35 and 38 yards.
