Keaffaber’s gem downs Aces

TERRE HAUTE – A late comeback was not in the cards for the University of Evansville baseball team on Friday night as Indiana State starting pitcher Ryan Keaffaber tossed a complete game shutout to lead the Sycamores to a 7-0 victory over the Purple Aces at Bob Warn Field.
 
"You have to credit Indiana State for how they played today," UE head coach Wes Carroll said. "From timely hitting, pitching and defense, they probably played the best all-around game that any team has played against us this season. It was really impressive. We still have a chance to win the series tomorrow, and it's important to get that going before the tournament next week."
 
Keaffaber, who tossed his third complete game of the year, limited the Aces (27-24, 9-11 MVC) to seven hits and did not issue a single walk in the contest, forcing a rubber game in Saturday's Missouri Valley Conference regular season finale.
 
ISU (33-19, 12-8 MVC) pushed ahead with a pair of scores in the second inning to ultimately chase UE starter Alex Weigand from the mound. Forrest Herrman would allow a run in his stead in the fourth, and Brian Jestice was pegged with the game's final four runs (two earned) in the seventh.
 
At the plate, the Aces were led by Korbin Williams' 3-for-4 outing, and Boomer Synek continued his hot hitting in league play, going 2-for-4.
 
The Aces and Sycamores will return to action on Saturday at Bob Warn Field. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
 
 
NOTES: UE has homered 47 times this season, which is the most since leaving the park 53 times in 2010 … This weeks marks the 100th, 101st and 102nd meetings between ISU and UE since the Aces started playing at the Division I level in 1978 … In those games, UE is 43-58 … The Aces have won each of the past three season series with the Sycamores … The first two meetings between the schools came in 1946 … The first UE win in the series was a 9-0 decision in 1948 … The first DI showdowns came in the form of a two-game split in 1978 … UE is 223-160 against Indiana schools since 1978.
