Aces ride fourth inning eruption to sixth straight victory

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Evansville baseball team overcame a slow start at the plate to rally past Tennessee-Martin for their sixth straight victory, winning 6-3, in a non-conference match-up Wednesday night at Charles H. Braun Stadium.

After falling behind 1-0 in the opening frame, the Aces' bats ignited in the fourth inning. The rally began, when with a pair in scoring position, a passed ball got passed the Skyhawks catcher allowing sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig to race home with the equalizer. Next, freshman designated hitter A.J. Fritz would send a single through the left side of the infield, bringing in fellow freshman Danny Borgstrom, giving Evansville the lead, 2-1.
