EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville junior catcher Brendan Hord hit a go-head home run in the bottom of the seventh inning on Sunday, and UE's pitchers combined to allow just two base hits to power the Purple Aces to a 5-3 victory over the visiting Eastern Michigan Eagles at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
"This was a great series win against a good Eastern Michigan team," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "Our pitching was outstanding today, only giving up two hits, as Donovan Schultz gave us a quality start. I thought that Shane Harris did a great job of bridging the gap to John MacCauley, and MacCauley was able to shut it down for the win.
