Aces suffer setback in non-conference finale at Belmont

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The non-conference season ended on a sour note in the Music City for the University of Evansville baseball team, as the Aces fell to Belmont in Nashville Tuesday night, 6-4.

Freshman right-hander Sam Steimel (2-1) made his first collegiate start, and tossed a shutout opening frame. However the third inning was another story, as the Bruins hung a pair of runs on the newcomer, and another in the third, putting UE in a 3-0 hole.

The Aces would bounce back in the top of the fourth, getting on the scoreboard on freshman designated hitter A.
