MARION, Ill. - Despite a furious finish, that saw the Aces strike for six runs in the final frame, the University of Evansville baseball team fell to Iowa 18-7, in a game played at Marion, Illinois' Rent One Park, due to weather conditions.
"Tough way to start the series," said University of Evansville baseball head coach Wes Carroll. "We showed some fight late, but had too big a hole to climb out of. We need to show some competitive fight to us tomorrow."
The Hawkeyes got to Evansville starting pitcher Adam Lukas (1-2) beginning in the second inning, putting three runs on the board in the frame, which began with a two-run home run off the bat of Izaya Fullard.
