EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team will look to extend its winning streak to three games on Wednesday afternoon, as the Purple Aces will travel to Cape Girardeau, Missouri to battle preseason Ohio Valley Conference favorite Southeast Missouri State in a mid-week contest. First-pitch is now set for 1 p.m. to try and avoid rain on Wednesday.
Wednesday's game will feature the respective Players of the Week in the Missouri Valley Conference and OVC. Evansville fifth-year first baseman Chase Hug earned MVC Player of the Week honors on Monday after slashing .667/1.083/.778 in UE's four games last week, while helping power the Purple Aces to a series victory over Eastern Michigan.
