CARBONDALE, Ill.- The University of Evansville baseball team had early scoring chances, but couldn't cash in. However, Southern Illinois took advantage of nearly every scoring opportunity, as the Aces dropped a second straight to SIU Saturday evening, 5-2.
Junior left-hander Nathan Croner (5-6) got the start for UE, and started out strong, tossing a perfect opening frame. However, in the second, the Salukis would touch him up for a pair of runs in the second as Philip Archer singled in one run, then J.T. Weber brought in another on a sacrifice fly to center, putting the Aces down 2-0.
