EVANSVILLE - Leading for much of the contest, one bad inning handed the University of Evansville baseball team a series-opening loss to Southern Illinois, 14-4, on Friday night at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
"3-2 lead with 6 outs to get and we couldn't finish it out. We need to keep that into perspective," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "We have been playing great baseball and haven't had a two-inning performance like that for a long time. SIU's offense does a great job of making big innings happen by exploiting free bases.
