* Aces Notch First Valley Win With 3-1 Victory Over Missouri State

The University of Evansville softball team notched its first Missouri Valley Conference win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Missouri State today. With the win, the Aces improve to 8-18, with a 1-5 record in conference play, while Missouri State falls to 13-10, evening out at 3-3 in the Valley.

Senior Amy Gaertner was perfect at the plate in the victory, going 3-for-3 with one run batted in. Freshman Kayla Fortner, sophomore Katie Sears and junior Tamara Robey each added a hit to UE’s total as Sears and Robey both tallied a run scored as well.

Junior Sarah Patterson (5-7) tossed a gem of a game in the circle, scattering six hits while striking out four Missouri State batters in the complete-game effort.

The Aces return to action Wednesday, traveling to Columbia, Mo., for a pair of non-conference games at Mizzou.
Game Recap: UE 3 , MSU 1

The Aces struck first, jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Sears led off the inning with a double through the left side to begin the inning. Robey then laid down a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt to move Sears to third, but MSU starter Natalie Rose overthrew first base on the play, allowing Sears to cross the plate as Robey advanced to second on the error. Robey moved safely to third on a sacrifice bunt by freshman Victoria Dellorto. Gaertner then cranked a single down the left field line, scoring Robey and giving UE the 2-0 lead going into the top of the second.

Missouri State was quick to respond, as Stevie Pierce hit a two-out double of the right-center fence before scoring on a single by Heather Duckworth to cut UE’s lead in half at 2-1.

The Bears threatened to score again in the top of the fourth, using a single, a walk and a stolen base to put runners at second and third with one out on the board. But the Aces’ defense was able to shut down the rally, as Patterson forced two fly outs to end the inning undamaged.

The Aces answered the threat in the bottom of the frame, using back-to-back singles off the bats of Fortner and Gaertner to put runners on the corner. Sophomore Niki Rahming laid down a sacrifice squeeze bunt to bring home Fortner and extend Evansville’s lead to 3-1.

A UE fielding error in the top of the seventh put pinch-hitter Kerri Cunningham on base, bringing the tying run to the plate with no outs on the board. But once again, Evansville’s defense prevailed, shutting down the inning and holding the Bears scoreless as the Aces secured the 3-1 win.

* Aces Baseball Slips, 6-0, To Sycamores

Indiana State earned the combined shutout Sunday afternoon at Braun Stadium in the series rubber match, topping the University of Evansville baseball team 6-0. The Sycamores won the series 2-1, improving their record to 19-5 on the season, while the Aces fell to 15-9 overall and finished Missouri Valley Conference opening weekend with a 1-2 mark.

Four Indiana State hurlers combined for the shutout, as Ryan Torgerson (4-0) earned the win, throwing six scoreless frames, allowing six hits, a walk, and struck out four.

Freshman Kyle Freeland (1-3) took the loss for the Aces, also throwing six innings, allowed three runs (two earned), and struck out five.

The Sycamores took the initial lead in the second inning on Tyler Wampler’s RBI single. However, Freeland settled down to retire 11 consecutive batters before giving up a one-out single to Robby Ort in the sixth. Freeland issued a walk to Jeremy Lucas, and Kyle Burnam followed with an RBI single to right-center. With two outs, Indiana State scored another run on a throwing error to take a 3-0 advantage.

The Sycamores tacked on three more runs in the seventh off reliever Sam Johns, as a walk and hit batter put runners on first and second with one out. Ort lined a run-scoring single to right field, a wild pitch allowed the second run of the inning to cross the plate, and Lucas lined an RBI single to left before closer Josh Biggs was able to get the inning-ending double play.

Leaving 12 runners stranded on base in the game, Evansville missed opportunities to bring in some runs, especially late in the contest. The Aces left the bases loaded in both the sixth inning and seventh innings, and even had bases loaded and no outs in the seventh frame.

Eric Stamets, Andy Lasher, and Tim Bodine all went 2-for-4 in the game to lead Evansville’s bats, as the Aces outhit the Sycamores, 9-6, but were unable to pick up any RBIs.

The Aces go out of conference for a midweek game versus Lipscomb Wednesday at Braun Stadium before heading to Creighton next weekend for week two of MVC play.
