@WEHTWTVWlocal
Volsโ coach, Tony Vitello, had a fiery opening to his press conference.
He spoke about what defines success, and as part of that, he praises

"Outside of giving my life to Christ, this is the best decision I've ever made"
@UEAthleticsBASE
's 11 seniors were the foundation to build the historic moments this season.
Brendan Hord and Brent Widder reflected on their decisions to come to Evansville
@WEHTWTVWlocal
The Day before the world shut down. I was there in that very section. The one in which the worldโs longest snake was created.
The fans will find a way because they are the best in the League.

ITS OVER! THE FINAL OUT HAS BEEN RECORDED!
The Evansville PURPLE ACES ARE REGIONAL CHAMPS FOR THE FIRST-TIME EVER!
6-5 the final. Onto Knoxville.

I think Wes Carroll did enough to not become the "Jordan Meme" when speaking about the seniors and graduates who've stuck around to get to this moment.

Tuned in for Hendon Hooker and Iโm getting Nate Sudfeld off the bat.
Preseason football is truly one of the most disappointing things in life, but it still gets me every time
Purple Aces head coach, Wes Carroll, says UE's win against the No. 1 seed in the regional is more a message to themselves than the country.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
@UEAthleticsBASE
And the Aces turn a double play to end the game!
Now 1 win away from a regional championship. Theyโll play the winner of VCU and ECU tomorrow.
Plus UE will have 2 cracks at them.

@UEAthleticsBASE
After an 11-6 loss to
#1
Tennessee, Purple Aces' skipper, Wes Carroll, says that UT is, "the most dangerous lineup that I've seen in my 16 years as head coach."
Carroll added that UE's pitching was good today, and the offense will have to hang in it tomorrow.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
Evansville hangs on and beats
#1
Tennessee 10-8!
The purple Cinderella slippers keep dancing!
I listened to

and

Former USI Baseball head coach and new Indiana St. coach, Tracy Archuleta says leaving USI was a tough decision.
Arch reflected on his 18 years, 2 National Titles, and 571 wins.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
Tom Wilson has to get a full season suspension next year. You canโt justify the league protecting players if this is allowed multiple times a season.
Even when VCU cut the 13-run deficit to just 5,
@UEAthleticsBASE
had confidence they would respond, and did so with Kip Fougerousse's 2-run home run.
Brent Widder, Wes Carroll, and Mark Shallenberger spoke about the offensive answer.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
Today,
@UEAthleticsBASE
beat No. 20 Indiana St.
Kip Fougerousse says this weekend series vs. the Trees has instilled belief in the Aces if they play ISU in the MVC Tournament.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
@sportstristate
"Opportunity" is the message that
@UEAthleticsBASE
is spreading for tomorrow.
Evansville can win it's first-ever regional championship with 1 win in the next two games. Brent Widder and Wes Carroll want to finish the job.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
The NCAA Tournament field is set and
@UEAthleticsBASE
is heading to Greenville, NC for their regional.
Every team is a quality one this time of year. The Purple Aces scheduled a gauntlet early this season, and they talk about what it's gonna take to beat the best.

ICYMI Last Night: It was a historic run from
@UEAthleticsBASE
in the regional tournament.
In the pivotal Game 7, the Purple Aces came out with 3 pitchers that threw bullets on the mound.
Reaction from Hansmann, Shallenberger and Carroll.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
Kenton Deverman seemed unfazed of the moment today. 8 innings with just 1 run let up.
Here's the freshman pitcher on what was going through his mind.
Also, Wes Carroll on what he called maybe the greatest performance ever by a
@UEAthleticsBASE
player.
@WEHTWTVWlocal
While tonight didn't go UE's way, the message to the team remains similar.
Wes Carroll is still feeling confident because he knows that the Purple Aces earned their spot to get a 2nd chance.

Historic.

The job is simple for Evansville. Win 1 of the next 2 against

East Carolina and they're regional champions for the first time.
The Purple Aces have earned a bye game essentially and will hope to end this tonight rather than go on to tomorrow. More tonight on
