LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Evansville softball team had a great day at the ballpark on Friday, battling #19 Kentucky to the wire before wrapping up the day with a 2-1 win over Dayton at the John Cropp Classic.
 
"I am extremely proud of the fight our team showed today," Aces head coach Mat Mundell said.  "Our pitching staff did a tremendous job keeping us in both ball games."
 
In game one against the #19 Wildcats, the Purple Aces (6-11) held UK scoreless through just over four innings before a 3-run inning saw them take a 3-0 lead.  Alex Martens had 2 RBI in the inning.  Kentucky added one more in the sixth before the Aces were able to push a run across in the seventh.  Courtney Land had a pinch hit RBI to plate Michal Luckett to make it the final of 4-1.
 
Starting pitcher Emily Lockhart had a great day in the circle, tossing four innings and allowing just one hit. 
 
Game two against Dayton was also a defensive battle as neither team put a run on the board until UE did so in the bottom of the sixth.  Morgan Lambert scored Luckett on a fielder's choice for the opening run before McKenzie Johnson singled to bring Kori Keyes home.
 
That was all starter Morgan Florey would need as she allowed one Flyer run in the seventh, but UE held on for the 2-1 win.  Florey had a masterful effort, striking out a career-best 14 batters.
 
Due to the impending weather, a schedule change is on tap for Saturday.  Just one game will be played as the Aces will face Michigan at 1 p.m. ET.
