ATLANTA, Ga. - Despite big offensive displays in both ends of a doubleheader, the University of Evansville baseball team (1-5) was swept by Kennesaw State (3-4), 10-9 and 8-6, in Atlanta Saturday afternoon.
In the opening contest, the Purple Aces raced out to a quick 4-0 lead highlighted by a three run first, led by senior designated hitter Travis Tokarek's 2-run home run to right, his first of the season. Sophomore center fielder Kenton Crews added to the pad in the second frame with an RBI infield single.
The Owls would winnow the lead down to 5-3 as junior starting pitcher Alex Weigand got tagged for a solo home run by Forrest Bramlett in the bottom of the 2nd inning, followed by a 2-run single off the bat of Jake Franklin.
