EVANSVILLE – A late miscue came back to haunt the University of Evansville baseball team on Wednesday night as the Purple Aces dropped a 5-4 decision to visiting Murray State at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
The Aces (13-27) led for much of the contest, but the tide would turn late as the Racers (20-21) scored in each the sixth and seventh innings to level matters at 4-4 before an error on a pop fly to short with two outs resulted in the eventual game-winning run.
UE attempted to mount a response in the bottom half of the frame, but the attempted rally was cut short on impressive defensive play by MSU's middle infield as Kipp Moore and Caleb Hicks linked up after a Korbin Williams lineout for a double play to end the game.
