Big bats secure series sweep of 18th-ranked Tulane

Box Score NEW ORLEANS, La. - The energy and momentum from Saturday carried over as the University of Evansville baseball team used an explosive offensive effort to capture a 15-5 win over No. 18 Tulane on Sunday afternoon, securing a series sweep in New Orleans, La.

The sweep of the series is believed to be the Aces first over a top 25 team in program history.

Unlike Saturday, the Aces actually trailed to start the contest as the Green Wave scored a single run in the bottom of the first. Evansville answered with the long ball, as Chase Hug smashed a solo shot in the second to tie the game and Ty Rumsey grabbed the lead for the Aces in the third with his first collegiate dinger.
