EVANSVILLE - Tasked with overcoming eight early runs, the University of Evansville baseball team methodically battled back, but could not overcome the early scoring from Indiana State in a 14-7 series-opening loss on Thursday night at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
"We weren't very competitive on the mound throughout this contest," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Giving up an 8 spot with the potential MVC Pitcher of the Year on the mound was too big of a hole to climb out of. We need to show some competitive fight over the next three games of the series in all aspects of the game.
