Aces rally, come up short in Game Two vs. Florida Gulf Coast

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The University of Evansville baseball team showed signs of life at the plate, rallying back against Florida Gulf Coast in the late innings, however the Purple Aces ran out of outs, falling 4-2 on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Swanson Stadium in Fort Myers.

UE sent out junior left hander pitcher Alex Weigand to the hill to start, who was coming off his best start of the season against Western Illinois. However, the momentum didn't carry over, as he fell into a deep hole early. The Eagles opened the bottom of the first with a single and a throwing error, putting two on with no outs.
