Aces drop series opener to Indiana State in extras

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - In a battle fitting of the top two teams in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, the University of Evansville baseball team was edged by Indiana State, 7-6, in 10 innings at Bob Warn Field on Friday night in Terre Haute, Ind.

"Competitive Friday night Valley game that didn't go our way in extra innings," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Shane Gray was outstanding, but credit their offense for putting the ball in play. Tanner delivered a big blow, but we squandered a couple opportunities to get that game tonight. We knew this weekend was going to be a dogfight because both teams are playing well.
