Aces Baseball battle #2 Vanderbilt down to the wire before falling

Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Evansville raced out to a quick lead behind strong starting pitching and timely hitting, then showed some fight, battling back before falling late to #2 Vanderbilt, 5-4, on a rainy Wednesday night in Nashville.

"Unfortunate that we didn't win, but I feel like our guys competed top to bottom in our lineup", said University of Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. "All of our pitchers made big pitches tonight. We're a young team, that's growing right in front of our eyes. I'm really proud of our effort tonight."

Despite the lofty atmosphere, the Aces (1-3) came out swinging.
