TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The University of Evansville got out to a fast start, however Indiana State's bats proved to be faster in a marathon game, as the Sycamores downed the Purple Aces 14-9 Sunday afternoon at Bob Warn Field, taking the series' rubber match.
"Our offense gave us a chance today on Sunday Funday in the Valley with the series on the line", said Aces Head Coach Wes Carroll. "But from a pitching standpoint, we couldn't get a guy to get hot and get us outs. So we had to keep going to the pen."
The Aces came out swinging, putting up four runs in the opening frame, highlighted by junior second baseman Sam Troyer's three run home run, his second round tripper of the season.
