Aces edged by Kentucky in tough midweek battle

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Battling pitch-for-pitch with its third power five opponent of the season, the University of Evansville baseball team created chances for itself, but could not capitalize in a narrow 5-4 loss to Kentucky on Wednesday afternoon in Lexington, Ky.

"Still searching for a way to win the close game. Competitive game but our offense couldn't get it done," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Our bullpen is really coming together and performing well. Big weekend for us as a team to overcome a close game with a win."

Evansville's offense started the game off hot getting a leadoff base hit from Simon Scherry to open the game.
