EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. –Evansville scored in every inning but two Wednesday night, blanking SIUE 16-0 in the final nonconference baseball game of the season.

The Purple Aces (22-32) scored 16 runs on 15 hits against five Cougar pitchers to spoil the final home game of the year for the Cougars. The Cougars fell to 16-32. SIUE finished 10-11 at home.

"I think it was a total embarrassment," Tony Stoecklin said. "It was disappointing because it was the last home game of the year and they were not ready to play."

Evansville's Kyle Pollock led the offensive attack. Pollock was 3 for 4 with two home runs and six RBIs. Shin Showers was 3 for 5 with a home run and three RBIs. Jonathan Ramon was 1 for 3 with a solo home run.

SIUE starter Dylan Brown (0-1) suffered the loss for the Cougars. Brown gave up three runs over 2 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out one. Drew Staples surrendered 10 runs in 4 1/3 innings of relief. P.J. Schuster allowed a run in 1 1/3 innings and Brooks McDowell gave up two runs in 1/3 of an inning. Sam Hopkins finished the game retiring the final two Evansville hitters.

At the plate, the Cougars managed just two hits against a trio of Evansville hurlers. Skyler Geissinger led off the third inning with a single, while Travis Becherer lined a single through the right side in the bottom of the ninth inning. In between hits, UE pitchers retired 22 consecutive SIUE hitters.

Josh Biggs (2-2) started and earned the win. He allowed one hit over six innings and struck out seven. He retired the final 14 hitters he faced. Tyler Miller tossed a scoreless seventh inning, and Connor Strain pitched the final two innings, allowing a hit and striking out one.

SIUE begins its final three-game Ohio Valley Conference series Thursday night at Austin Peay.

"I'll tell them that they better find a way to get fired up to play against Austin Peay," Stoecklin added.
