Aces and Skyhawks to play single game

  On Tuesday, the University of Evansville softball team welcomes UT Martin to Cooper Stadium for a single game set to begin at 3 p.m

Evansville is coming off of a strong weekend where they picked up their first MVC win of the season, defeating UNI by a 6-1 final in the second game of Friday’s doubleheader.  Morgan Florey pitched the complete game, giving up just one earned run in the contest.  Florey has pitched at least seven innings in each of her last three appearances.

Not only did she get the job done in the circle, but Florey also helped herself at the plate, notching two hits while posting two RBIs.  Chandra Parr and Danielle Freeman also had two hits in the contest.

Saturday’s finale was another hard-fought game between the Aces and Panthers.  Florey and UNI starter Chelsea Ross each went the distance in another pitcher’s duel.  The difference came as UNI saw two runs cross the plate in the second inning.  Freeman was the offensive start for UE, hitting a home run in the first inning to give the Aces the early lead

UT Martin comes to Evansville with an 18-14 record.  The Skyhawks have won three of their last four games after losing six in a row.  The duo of Carly Gonzales and Katie Warrick lead the UTM offense, hitting .385 and .354, respectively.

Gonzales leads the Skyhawks with 13 steals, 18 walks and 24 runs scored.  Warrick leads the way with 8 home runs and 29 RBIs.
