TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Facing elimination for the first team this week, the University of Evansville baseball team exploded for 11 runs on 13 hits offensively, and four UE pitchers combined on a two-hitter, as the Purple Aces rolled past No. 2 seed Missouri State, 11-3, to advance to Championship Saturday at the 2023 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at Bob Warn Field in Terre Haute, Indiana.
"I am really proud of the bounce-back and fight that this team showed tonight," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "Our seniors really did not want to go out, and they played like it, and I salute them for helping change the culture of this program over the last five years.
