EVANSVILLE - Behind another dominant performance on the mound from Nick Smith, the University of Evansville baseball team secured its fourth-straight series victory with a 5-3 win over Illinois State on Saturday afternoon at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
"Great to get the series win on Saturday. Nick Smith gave an outstanding performance with Parks and Harris closing out the 9th," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Eric Roberts with a big day at the plate providing four RBI. Going to be a big game for us tomorrow."
Smith set new career-highs, working eight innings on the afternoon with 10 strikeouts, while allowing just three runs on six hits.
