Aces Baseball jumps out early, falls short late in finale with SIU

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Evansville baseball team got the jump on Southern Illinois early, but a Saluki rally sent the Purple Aces to the wrong end of a 9-4 loss in the finale of their Missouri Valley Conference weekend series Sunday afternoon at Braun Stadium.

"Another unfortunate loss, here at home in Valley play," said University of Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. "It seems like every walk and every error really hurts us and we can't overcome all the little mistakes that we make. Offensively, we're just not getting enough of it to apply pressure to get the runs necessary.
