Offense continues to roll, racking-up 17 runs as Aces top Hoosiers

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - In a back-and-forth contest, the University of Evansville baseball team's offense and timely pitching prevailed in a 17-14 win over Indiana on Friday night in Bloomington, Ind.

"Great win to start the weekend. Our offense really kept putting together big innings when needed," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Caroll. "Berkey had a big day for us at the plate with six RBI. We did enough out of the bullpen and Rumsey made the big defensive play in center field for us to win."

It was an offensive exhibition from the start with Mark Shallenberger opening the game with a leadoff home run for his second-straight contest, sending a shot to left field on the second pitch he saw.
