NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont pitching staff was sharp early, and the University of Evansville baseball team was unable to break through as the Purple Aces fell 2-0 to the Bruins in a non-conference contest at E.S. Rose Park on Wednesday evening.
The Bruins (22-21) used seven pitchers over the course of the game, and the trio of Casey Queener, Austin Reynolds and Zach Hodgkiss led the way, tossing five near-perfect innings without allowing a hit before a fifth-inning two-run Nick Egli homer put the Bruins on the board.
Egli finished the game 1-for-2 at the plate, and Hodgkiss was credited with the win as he improved to 2-0 on the season.
