EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Due to heavy rain in the Clarksville, Tennessee area overnight and the forecast for more rain all day long, tonight's University of Evansville baseball game at Austin Peay State has been cancelled due to weather.  The game will not be made up.

Evansville (29-22, 15-9 MVC) will now wrap up the regular-season at home beginning on Thursday night at 6 p.m. with a crucial three-game Missouri Valley Conference series with UIC (32-16, 15-9 MVC).  The Purple Aces and Flames currently sit in a tie for second place in the MVC standings, just one game in front of both Murray State and Illinois State.  A series victory by Evansville would guarantee the Purple Aces of a top three seed in next week's MVC Baseball Tournament, which will be hosted by UE at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium from May 21-25.

The series is moved up one day to Thursday, Friday and Saturday due to next week's MVC Baseball Tournament  Tickets for both this weekend's series and the upcoming MVC Baseball Tournament can be purchased by contacting Logan Belz in the UE Athletic Ticket Office by phone at 812-488-2623.
