LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Evansville softball team had a great day at the ballpark on Friday, battling #19 Kentucky to the wire before wrapping up the day with a 2-1 win over Dayton at the John Cropp Classic.

"I am extremely proud of the fight our team showed today," Aces head coach Mat Mundell said. "Our pitching staff did a tremendous job keeping us in both ball games."

In game one against the #19 Wildcats, the Purple Aces (6-11) held UK scoreless through just over four innings before a 3-run inning saw them take a 3-0 lead.
