Aces fall to Cougars on eighth-inning rally

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - A late inning rally of runs stopped the University of Evansville baseball team's winning streak on Friday as College of Charleston rallied from a three-run deficit for a 9-5 win.

"We gave up too many free bases from the 7th inning on. We played well for six innings but couldn't find a way to compete on the mound, defensively, or at the plate for the final three," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "I'm ready to see how our club comes out tomorrow against a quality opponent."

Looking to continue their win streak, Evansville's offense got the spark it needed in the top of the third inning as the bases were loaded with junior Tanner Craig coming to the plate.
