Aces Baseball bounces back to take the nightcap of twin bill with Little Rock

Box Score LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The University of Evansville baseball team rode a strong starting performance from junior left-hander Nathan Croner to bounce back from a heart breaking loss earlier in the day, to beat Little Rock 3-1, Sunday evening.

"Great bounce back win after a tough loss," said University of Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. "Nate Croner did an outstanding job shutting down their momentum in a doubleheader. Rubber match tomorrow is a big game early in the season."

After blowing a late four-run lead in game one of their doubleheader, the Aces sent out the southpaw, and Croner (1-1) delivered, tossing six innings of shutout work, striking out four while scattering four hits.
