DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University softball team could not keep up with a free-swinging Evansville squad in their series finale on Saturday afternoon. The Purple Aces overcame a narrow early deficit to sprint past Drake, 7-2.
The Bulldogs looked to be in control early on as Emma Dighton doubled to left. Her two-bagger allowed MaKayla Rice to come home as Drake went up, 1-0.
That lead did not last long, however, as Evansville plated two of their own in the top of the second with a two-RBI double.
