NORMAL, Ill. - With their postseason hopes on the line, the University of Evansville baseball team were eliminated from the Missouri Valley Conference Championships by top seeded Dallas Baptist, 9-2, Thursday afternoon at Duffy Bass Field in Normal, Illinois.
Senior right-hander Justin Hayden got the start for UE, and after pitching a scoreless opening frame, the Patriots bats tagged him for back to back hoem runs by Andres Sosa, then Augie Isaacson, making 3-0 Dallas Baptist.
Hayden would bounce back to toss a scoreless third, but in the fourth DBU would strike with the long ball again, as Herbert Iser drilled a solo homer to right-center, making it 4-0 Dallas Baptist, ending Hayden's day.
