EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Despite falling behind to their crosstown rivals from Southern Indiana, the University of Evansville baseball team fought back to knot the game up late, only to fall in the final frame, in the annual "Battle at the Braun" Wednesday night.
The Screaming Eagles struck quickly, as Nick Gobert put a run across in the top of the first with an RBI single against Purple Aces starting pitcher Alex Weigand. However, that would be junior southpaw's lone blemish in two innings of work.
Sophomore right hand reliever David Ellis would replace Weigand, and got in trouble with a walk and a sacrifice bunt, putting a runner in scoring position.
