Hoosiers Take Opener at Evansville, 5-0
4/12/2019 10:44:00 PM | Baseball
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Indiana baseball (21-12) used a combined shutout from senior Pauly Milto (eight innings) and sophomore Connor Manous (one inning) to take game one of a four-game set, 5-0, over the Evansville Aces (17-13) on Friday evening. Games two through four will be played at Bart Kaufman Field.
KEY MOMENTS
• Sophomore Drew Ashley broke dueling shutouts in the third with an RBI single to left field, which scored freshman Grant Richardson. Richardson led off the inning with a single before eventually tallying his third stolen base at third base.
• Matt Lloyd took Adam Lukas' first offering in the fourth over the fence in centerfield, pushing IU's lead to 2-0.
• Two-out situational hitting lead to two more runs for the Hoosiers in the fourth frame. With Cole Barr and Elijah Dunham in scoring position, Justin Walker sent both home with a two-run single to left field, upping IU's lead to 4-0. Back-to-back walks to Barr and Dunham led off the inning.
• Indiana spun another walk into its fifth run in the eighth inning. Matt Gorksi was issued the free pass, moved up 90 feet by a walk to Lloyd. A throwing error on Lloyd's swipe of second pushed Gorski home.
• Milto kept the Aces at bay all night, limiting Evansville to just three hits. He kept them hitless through the fourth.
NOTES
• Lloyd's solo shot was his 11th home run of the season.
• Walker's two RBI tied his season high from March 16 vs. Canisius.
• Milto grabbed his team-leading fifth win and upped his career quality starts tally to 23. He tossed eight scoreless innings in the win.
UP NEXT
Indiana and Evansville resume action Saturday afternoon with a scheduled doubleheader beginning at 2:05 pm from Bart Kaufman Field.
