Aces Baseball stays hot, rallies past Dallas Baptist

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Despite falling behind early, the University of Evansville baseball team rode another strong performance from junior starting pitcher Adam Lukas and clutch hitting late, to rally past Dallas Baptist in the series opener at Charles H. Braun Stadium Friday night.

After falling behind 3-0 early, the Aces bats ignited in the bottom of the third inning, with junior right fielder Troy Beilsmith launching a two-run home run to left. Beilsmith's third roundtripper of the season cut the Patriots' lead down to one.

Lukas recovered from a rocky start to strike out seven, while allowing three runs on six hits, exiting after seven innings of work.
