CHICAGO, Ill. – In one of the top individual games in school history, University of Evansville graduate outfielder Eric Roberts hit for the cycle on Thursday night, including launching a grand slam to tie UE's single-season home run record, to power the Purple Aces past the UIC Flames, 9-8, at Curtis Granderson Stadium in Chicago, Illinois.
"What an amazing night tonight by Eric," said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "Cycles are extremely rare, and to be able to do it with a grand slam included, and have that be the home run that ties the school record is really special.
