Solid all-around performance propels Aces to win over #12 Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. - The moment was not too big for the University of Evansville baseball team as the Aces handled high-pressure situations in a 3-2 victory over 12th-ranked Georgia at Foley Field on Friday afternoon in Athens, Ga.

"Great way to start the season and such a great performance on the mound from Shane Gray, Michael Parks and Jakob Meyer," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "We handled pressure late in the game from a really good team, so we really had to earn the win."

The tone for the afternoon was set by starting pitcher Shane Gray, who sat the Bulldogs in order in the bottom of the first.
