Aces show heart in late rally, before falling in extras to Indiana

Box Score BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- On a dreary, rain-soaked afternoon at Bloomington's Kaufman Field, the University of Evansville baseball team, having blown an early lead and trailing in their final at-bat, could have folded up the tent and headed home. Instead, the Aces battled back to force extra innings, before finally falling 6-5 Sunday afternoon in Bloomington.

"I'm proud of the fight our guys brought to the yard this afternoon", said University if Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. "They showed the competitiveness we lacked in the first for three games of the series. We got a great relief performance from Michael Parks.
