Aces secure first MVC series with doubleheader sweep of Illinois State

NORMAL, Ill. – Craig Shepherd sent the fourth pitch of the game over the wall in left field, and it proved a harbinger of good things for the Aces offense as the University of Evansville baseball team touched home 20 times over the course of a doubleheader sweep of Illinois State at Duffy Bass Field.

The two victories gave the Aces their second series win of the season, and their first in Missouri Valley Conference. UE moved to 12-22 on the year, which includes a 3-5 mark in league play. Meanwhile, ISU dropped to 10-23 and 0-5, respectively.
