RICHMOND, Ky. - With stellar starting pitching, spectacular defense and clutch hitting, the University of Evansville shutout Boston College 4-0 at the EKU Challenge in Richmond, Kentucky, Friday afternoon.
It began with junior right-hand pitcher Adam Lukas (1-1), who came out strong, pitching an efficient seven innings, striking out six, while scattering four hits and one walk. Lukas was backed up great defensive play, which twice prevented the Eagles from crossing the plate.
On offense, the Aces got on the board first in the top of the second, as sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig took the first pitch of the frame over the wall in left-center for his second home run of the season, making it 1-0 Aces.
