EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Evansville baseball team planted their flag in the ground as a true contender in the Missouri Valley Conference by taking the series from league favorite Dallas Baptist after splitting a doubleheader Saturday at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
In game one of the twin bill, the Aces got the jump on the Patriots, with freshman second baseman Danny Borgstrom drilling a triple to the fence in right, allowing junior shortstop Craig Shepherd and senior center fielder Nate Reeder to tally the first runs of the game, making it 2-0 UE.
Meanwhile, junior starting pitcher Nathan Croner rolled through the first five innings, tossing a shutout, while striking out five DBU batters.
