EVANSVILLE, Ind. - It took a dozen innings, but the University of Evansville baseball team managed to edge Missouri State 4-3 in an all-important Missouri Valley Conference series opener Friday night at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
"It was just awesome, getting a walk-off win, especially in extra innings", said Aces head coach Wes Carroll. "A lot of great baseball being played by both teams, especially on the mound, and for us to finally deliver a barrell there, and get a hop here at home, means a lot to our club."
The game began as a pitchers duel as the Aces junior left-hander Nathan Croner and his Bears counterpart Logan Wiley combined to keep the game scoreless through the first four innings.
