EVANSVILLE - In the opening game of the weekend, the University of Evansville baseball team dropped a pitchers' duel to Xavier, 6-1, in game one of the four-game series at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium on Friday night in Evansville.
"Typical Friday night kind of baseball game. Shane Gray gave us a chance on the mound, unfortunately we just didn't compete well enough against their starter," said Evansville head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "(Jared) Olson overmatched our offense throughout. Big day tomorrow for 16 innings."
The two starters for each squad were the stars of the show on the night and they brought it early.
