Aces start fast, but can't hold off Murray State

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - It was a tale of two games at Charles H. Braun Stadium Tuesday night, as the University of Evansville baseball team fell to Murray State in a midweek non-conference match-up, one that the Aces would lose 6-4.

Evansville senior left-hander Alex Weigand took the hill and came out on fire, striking out a pair in the opening frame. The southpaw would go onto strike out six across three innings of work.

The Aces got the jump on the Racers on the offensive side early as well. Senior left fielder Matthew Jones laced an RBI single to left in the first inning, driving in junior shortstop Craig Shepherd, giving Evansville a 1-0 lead.
