EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- A big fourth inning wouldn't be enough for UNI softball to extend their winning streak as they fell in nine innings to the Evansville Aces.
A three-run homer in extras would be the deciding factor in a tight game to end the series between the Panthers and the Aces on Sunday afternoon. Despite starting pitcher Kailyn Packard tying her career record in strikeouts through nine innings of work, it wouldn't be enough for UNI to sweep the season series.
Evansville got off to a hot start, scoring three runs in the first inning off a wild pitch, a passed ball, and a steal.
