EVANSVILLE - Powered by the long ball, Evansville captured a share of Friday's non-conference doubleheader with an 8-6 win over Southern Illinois in game two after falling 16-7 in game one at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
"Proud of our club bouncing back after the first game," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "Shane Gray was outstanding in game one, but when you give 14 free bases in the 7th through the 9th inning we get the result we deserve. In game two, the bounce back was about our offense getting out in front enough to hang on.
