EVANSVILLE — A heavy fog rolled into Charles H. Braun Stadium on Friday evening, and the lack of visibility led to a suspension of play in the eighth with the Purple Aces trailing visiting Western Michigan 9-0.
Play will resume in the top of the eighth inning on Saturday at 2 p.m. The second game of the series will continue afterwards.
WMU (7-6) opened up the scoring with two runs in the third off of UE starter Patrick Schnieders.
The UE (6-9) relief staff impressed at times as both Jack Cavanaugh and David Ellis combined to allow just one hit over 1.
