Evansville earns another split while picking up 10th win

Tournament Central

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The University of Evansville softball team picked up its 10th win of the season on Saturday, earning a 4-2 victory over Northern Kentucky in the second game of the day in the Frost Classic.  In the day's first game, UE fell to Lipscomb, 9-1.
 
"I am proud of the fight you are seeing out of this softball team," head coach Mat Mundell said.  "It is becoming a theme and a strength – the ability to respond to the adversity in the game.  I love the way these young ladies continue to battle"
 
Tomorrow, the Aces wrap up the Frost Classic with an 11 a.m. ET game versus Kentucky. 
 
A late rally in the second game saw Evansville improve to 10-4 on the season with a 4-2 win over Northern Kentucky.  Evansville posted seven hits in the win as Courtney Land went 2-for-2.  Amanda Blankenship threw four innings of six-hit ball for the Aces before Morgan Florey pitched the final three frames, giving up just one hit.
 
Evansville picked up the first run of the game in the bottom of the second as Land notched her first hit of the day, an RBI double, which plated Bailee Bostic.  The Norse posted one run apiece in the top of the third and fourth to take a 2-1 advantage.
 
The score remained that way until the bottom of the sixth when the tenacious Aces saw four runs cross the plate.  With one out, the Aces did all of their damage.  Susan Norris had the big hit, a double to left, that cleared the bases.  Florey got the job done from there, picking up her fifth win of the season to improve to 5-0.
 
The first game of the day saw UE fall to Lipscomb by a final of 9-1.  The Aces were held to just one hit as Chandra Parr went 1-2 from the plate.  Tess Hupe scored the run in the fourth inning for UE.  Lipscomb broke a scoreless tie with five runs in the bottom of the third before tacking on four more in the bottom half of the fifth.
