Aces Baseball runs into hot Austin Peay squad

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Evansville baseball team had its hot streak cooled by Austin Peay in Clarksville, Tennessee Tuesday night, falling 10-2.

The Governors came out swinging on Aces freshman starting pitcher Shane Gray (2-1), putting up three runs on the scoreboard in the opening frame. Freshman Sam Steimel would take over for Gray in the second inning, tossing a scoreless frame. However, in the third Steimel got into trouble, giving up an RBI single, then exiting the game after loading up the bases with one out. Freshman designated hitter A.J. Fritz who come in in relief and make his collegiate debut on the hill, and Austin Peay would put up four more runs in the frame. Fritz would come back out to toss scoreless fourth and fifth innings. 

The Evansville offense, after being no hit through the first five innings, came to life in the sixth, beginning with junior right fielder Troy Beilsmith stroking a one-out double to the gap in left-center. Later in the frame, senior center fielder Nate Reeder grounded into what should have been the final out of the inning, but an error allowed Beilsmith to score the Aces first run and extended the inning. Sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig followed that up with a double to right, putting Reeder on third base. A wild pitch would bring home the senior outfielder, cutting the deficit to six.

However, that's all the offense Evansville could manage, as Austin Peay tacked on a pair of late runs to close out the game.

The loss drops UE's record to 17-11, while Austin Peay improves to 16-15.

The Aces are back in action Friday night for the beginning of a home-and-home weekend series against Indiana. The series opens at Charles H. Braun Stadium. First pitch is at 6 p.m.
