The University of Evansville baseball team is preparing for a four-game series at Taylor Stadium in Columbia, Missouri this weekend. This marks the team’s second visit to an SEC ballpark in a week, with upcoming games against Missouri from February 28 to March 2. The Aces last faced the Tigers in the mid-1980s, and this will be their first time playing at Taylor Stadium, which opened in 2000.
After a tough loss to Kentucky earlier in the week, Evansville will look to bounce back and take control of the series against Missouri. The Tigers currently hold a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head matchups. Missouri comes into the series with a 4-4 record and a strong offensive performance, led by freshman outfielder Brady Picarelli. Meanwhile, Evansville will be aiming to improve their performance after their recent loss, with standout players like Drew McConnell making an impact on offense.
The Aces are in the midst of their longest road trip since 2022, playing 19 consecutive games away from home. This extended road trip is partly due to the construction of the Freeland Clubhouse, with the team not returning to Charles H. Braun Stadium until March 25. As they gear up for their series against Missouri, Evansville will be looking to make the most of their time in SEC territory and showcase their skills on the diamond.
