IU proceeded to go one-two-three in its next frame, and Miami came out firing again.

After IU took a hard-fought 3-2 defeat in the first game, the Aces were high throughout the second contest. The Evansville Aces, that is. Evansville scored eight runs out of 14 hits and played flawless defense by amassing no errors and not allowing a single crimson jersey across home plate. After such a fall-off, IU was not happy with its game. "It's almost embarrassing for us to play as flat as we do at times, and to not execute, and do some of the things that we do for other games or when we're playing other teams," coach Sara Hayes said. "We're going to continue to fight, and hopefully we'll bring what we had in the first game to the games we have left."
PHILADELPHIA -- With their season on the line and memories of recent playoff failures on their minds, the Philadelphia Flyers came through with their most dominant performance.

It also gives you the chance to meet other people that ride and that's always a plus."
Sometimes teams just don't match up. And that was the case Tuesday at Sembower Field as IU ran up, over and around Taylor University in an 18-0 win. IU (26-11, 9-7 Big Ten) took advantage of 10 Taylor errors and stole eight bases on its way to the blowout victory while only surrendering two hits.
