Aces drop series to Northern Illinois

EVANSVILLE – After a postponement of more than 40 hours, the University of Evansville baseball team fell in a pair of contests to visiting Northern Illinois on Sunday at Charles H. Braun Stadium.

The first contest, which began on Friday evening, picked up in the bottom of the seventh with the Aces (13-25) trailing 2-1. However, a three-run top of the eighth proved UE's undoing as the team went on to fall 5-2 to the visitors from the Mid-American Conference. In the second game, a single run in second was all the Huskies (12-26) would need as UE fell 1-0.
