He followed by given up another run by hitting Cooper Rhodes with a pitch to tie the game up at five. Then he walked Reagan Reeder to give the Aces a one run lead before getting out of the inning.
In the bottom of the six, UE bats finally came alive as they recorded three hits in the inning including a Reeder two RBI triple. Mason McCue then added to the lead with a sacrifice bunt towards first base to get a runner home. With a 9-5 lead Evansville gave up a run in the top of the seventh before adding an insurance run in the eighth to win the game 10-6.
