SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The 2018 campaign opened with a bang for the University of Evansville baseball team, as they outslugged Fordham 9-8 in ten innings at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina Friday afternoon. Freshman Pete Vaccaro drove in the game-winner in the top of the tenth on an RBI single to left.
"It was a marathon kind of a baseball game", said University of Evansville head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "A real roller coaster ride of emotions. Obviously, getting a win is crucial. About a quarter of your games are going to be one-run games, and if you can put those into the win column, you're set up for a good year.
