MOBILE, Ala. – The University of South Alabama baseball team used a five-run third inning and a quality start from Kevin Hill to defeat the Evansville Purple Aces 5-4 Friday in the series opener at Stanky Field.

Hill (1-0) struck out 10 and issued three walks while allowing three unearned runs on just one hit to earn the win. Right-hander Mike Dolloff recorded the final two outs of the game to earn his first career save at USA.

"Kevin deserved a better fate than giving up three runs, but then again so did their (Evansville) guy," Calvi said.
