Aces ride big fifth inning to 10-5 win at Lipscomb

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Travis Tokarek couldn't figure out why the fans were cheering on Sunday afternoon.

With the University of Evansville baseball team in need of an offensive spark after a pair of tight losses at Lipscomb, the junior catcher hit the ball hard to left field in the second inning and took off running. When he looked up, he realized he hit a home run, and the cheers were actually coming from a strong Aces contingent near the UE dugout. It was the first of three hits for Tokarek on the day as the Aces picked up a 10-5 victory over Lipscomb at Ken Dugan Field.
