Middle-Inning Explosion Powers Baseball Past Bellarmine, 14-2

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Evansville baseball team stayed red-hot on Wednesday, as the Purple Aces exploded for six runs in the fifth inning and seven more in the sixth to power past the host Bellarmine Knights, 14-2, at Knights Field in Louisville, Kentucky. With the win, Evansville has now won 10 of its last 12 contests.

"I thought that we did a great job today of staying focused in a mid-week game," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "We grinded out some big innings offensively, and I thought that our pitching did well as well. I really thought that Willard Peterson did well in his first outing on the mound as an Ace as the starter."
