EVANSVILLE, Ind. - With their mid-week match-ups lost to Mother Nature's early spring freeze, and day-long deluge forecasted for Saturday, the University of Evansville baseball team has moved up its doubleheader with Oakland City to Friday afternoon, with Game One's first pitch set for 3 p.m. and Game Two to follow.

The Purple Aces will start senior right hander Jimmy Ward on the hill in the first game of the twinbill, then send left hander Alex Weigand to face the Mighty Oaks in the nightcap.

Evansville Head Coach Wes Carroll's squad comes into tomorrow's doubleheader at 5-11, while Oakland City's bench boss T-Ray Fletcher's Mighty Oaks are 6-13. The Aces hold the all-time series edge, having won 25 of the 27 times the two teams have met.
