Aces sweep doubleheader and secure series win over #18 Tulane
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Doing something they have not done since 2006, the University of Evansville baseball team captured a doubleheader sweep of No. 18 Tulane, 5-3 and 5-1, on Saturday in New Orleans, La.
The last time Evansville captured consecutive victories over top 25 opponents came on April 8, 2006 when the Aces defeated No. 21 Wichita State, 2-1 and 7-5.
"Great overall team baseball for 18 innings. It started on the mound with great performances from Shane Gray and Nick Smith," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "The bullpen kept the lead while we were able to tack on runs late. Offense had a great plan and delivered with runners in scoring position. Great day to be an Ace."
