The seniors from the Hoosier basketball team are currently taking part in a 15 game Barnstorming Tour that will have them playing exhibition games all over the state.

'Aces' wild as IU splits series with Evansville

By Dan Patrick · Wednesday, April 23,2003 2 a.m.

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."
