The teams will meet for an 11 a.m. doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday.  This weekend marks the first action of the 2021 campaign for Purdue Fort Wayne.
 
Interestingly enough – the last home game for the Purple Aces came against the Mastodons on March 10, 2020 with UE earning an 11-0 shutout.  That was the only game the Aces would play at Cooper Stadium in 2020.  Izzy Vetter threw a 1-hit shutout on that contest while Haley Woolf led the offense with a double and three RBI.
 
UE is coming off of a doubleheader sweep at Bellarmine on Wednesday.  Trailing 3-0 in the opener, the Aces rallied to tie it up at 3-3 after the 6^th inning.  In the seventh, UE broke the game open, plating six runs.  Jessica Fehr hit a 3-run home run in the frame to lift Evansville to a 9-5 win.  Starter Izzy Vetter threw a complete game and struck out six Knight batters.
 
In game two, Eryn Gould set the early tone, leading the game off with a homer.  UE added two more runs in the second before adding three to its total in the fourth inning before taking a 6-0 victory.  Jaime Nurrenbern scattered three hits across six innings of work before Megan Brenton finished the shutout in the seventh.
