VALPARAISO, Ind. - The University of Evansville baseball team broke out of their mid-season doldrums and the Aces relief staff put the clamps down on the Valparaiso bats, as UE got back in the win column, beating the Crusaders 8-1 Friday afternoon at Bauer Field.
The Aces sent out right-hander Adam Lukas to start the game on the hill, and the junior flame-thrower torched the Valpo offense for six strikeouts across the three frames of shutout work, while not allowing a hit.
Still, the game remained scoreless until the fourth inning. That's when sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig drilled a triple to right, driving in freshman A.
