Evansville (16-25, 6-12 MVC) picked up nine hits on the day with Toni Galas picking up three.  Jessica Fehr scored twice.  Gould had four of UE's five RBI while Lindsay Renneisen had the other.  Missouri State picked up ten hits with Daphne Plummer notching two hits and three runs batted in.

"We needed this weekend! I have been telling the girls to keep battling and the hits would fall," Aces head coach Mat Mundell  said.  "They did this weekend. We have been playing great softball the past month by just have not getteg the W. This team has so much fight in them. It will be fun to see them down the stretch."

Following a scoreless first inning, the Aces got things started in the second.  Halie Fain reached on a 1-out single before Jessica Fehr and Toni Galas each singled with two outs.  That brought Eryn Gould to the plate and she launched a grand slam to left field to get the Aces on the board.
 
Missouri State plated a single run in the bottom of the third, but Evansville got it right back in the fourth.  With two outs and the bases loaded, Renneisen drew a walk on a full count that extended the advantage to 5-1.
 
The Bears made a huge rally in the bottom of the fifth, scoring three times with two crossing the plate on a Plummer double.  Emily Lockhart pitched cruised to that point and kept the Aces in contention until Izzy Vetter recorded the final out in relief.  Vetter shut the Bears down from there, allowing just one hit in 2 1/3 frames to pick up the save.  Lockhart allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings and picked up the win.
 
Evansville looks to continue its streak on Wednesday with a road game at Indiana State.  Next weekend, UE wraps up the home schedule with a 3-game series against Valparaiso.
