EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team exploded for 13 runs on Friday night, and junior starter Nick Smith posted another quality start on the mound, as the Purple Aces cruised to a 13-3 victory over the homestanding Illinois State Redbirds at Duffy Bass Field in Normal, Illinois.
"Another great win on a Friday night to start a Valley weekend tonight," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "I thought that we played well in all three areas. So, the challenge is to put together three games in a row like this, unlike last weekend.
"It is important to show that we can perform like this multiple days in a row as we get closer to the conference tournament.
