SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Looking to stretch out his University of Evansville career a little bit longer, Patrick Schnieders went the distance on the mound on Thursday morning as he and the Purple Aces rode its young line-up to a 12-2 victory over Bradley the first elimination game of the Missouri Valley Championship at Hammons Field.
"We showed a lot of fight today in all three facets of the game," UE head coach Wes Carroll said. "It all starts on the mound. What an unbelievable effort from Patrick, and I'm so proud of him. At the plate, it was great to see our overall approach against a lefty who did well against us earlier this year.
