We are three weeks away from the start of the baseball season and already getting some preseason recognition as we check in at #20 on the mid major rankings. The guys started team practice yesterday. The schedule can be found here. |

Sounds like a couple of freshmen lefties will be key components of the UE 8 to 10 man pitching rotation: Kenton Deverman and Kevin Reed.

Looking forward to seeing how Kevin Reed does for us tomorrow. He is another freshman LHP. He seems to be rated even higher than Kenton Deverman who gave us six innings today striking out eight and only allowing one run against #26 ORU.
It’s quite evident that we have some hitting and offense on this team. Pitching is the question (to me) of how far this team can go. Not sure if it is fair to expect too much out of a freshman but after how Kenton pitched today it is easy to get our hopes up. Even if he has a shaky outing we likely have a chance with our hitters. Could be an exciting season, especially with the MVC postseason tournament in Evansville this year.

Could be an exciting season, especially with the MVC postseason tournament in Evansville this year. With frosh, you can throw one of them in the mid-week game and get their innings up to competent levels. Smith and Schultz are 1-2, maybe not in that order. I thought Schultz was their best pitcher last year down the stretch. The No. 3 spot is Reed's to lose, but I think they will be quite patient with him. The only part of the regular offense they are replacing is Eric Roberts, and they moved Kip F. to right field and inserted the Bradley transfer at 2B, Cal McGinnis, who has 5 hits already. Having Shallenberger all season already adds 10 runs to the ledger. The pom pom moms will be in full glory. Brendon Hord has evidently won back his catching job. He hit very well in the Northwoods league last summer. Jakob Meyer is also coming back as a bullpen arm. He's shown signs of being very solid. Shane Harris is better than the 6 runs he allowed. |

The Aces hold on for the 7-6 win to win the series 2-1 against a very good ORU team.

Freshman LHP Kevin Reed went five innings and gave up three runs but only one was earned. Max Hansmann and Jakob Meyer combined for 3.1 innings of no-hit shutout relief.
Many offensive stars again with Kip Fougerousse and Evan Waggoner combining for three hits and five RBIs and two walks.

Aces officially 2-1 to start the season winning 7-6 in the rubber game. Great start, and a sweep of them was possible. This will be a fun season.

Winning these games is no small achievement. It's not like beating Wabash in an exhibition. The Aces beat good pitching, although I am sure Oral's staff is better than this. These guys went to Omaha last spring and having these games at home, UE typically doesn't do well in this platform.
No idea what sort of game Bellarmine has but it might still be pretty cold to play that one on Tuesday. Bell is 1-2 on the road at Cookeville Tech.
Baseball is a journey and process is important, more-so than some other sports.
