06Avon, Ohio – The Lake Erie Crushers hushed the Evansville Otters to four hits in a 6-0 Crushers win Monday evening.
Evansville was limited to just six total baserunners as Lake Erie starter Kyle Seebach struck out seven Otters’ over five and two-thirds innings of work.
In front of a sellout crowd of over 4,000 fans, Lake Erie struck first with a run in the first. A leadoff base hit and walk led to a run scoring on a fielders’ choice.
The Crushers added three more runs in the second inning with two doubles and a triple.
Evansville starter Zach Smith then found a groove, allowing no hits over the final four innings of his outing. He struck out seven batters in six innings of work.
Lake Erie added a run in each of the seventh and eighth innings.
Jomar Reyes led the Otters offense with two base hits and extended his on-base streak to 24 games.
The Otters and Crushers quickly move on to the series middle game with a Fourth of July 1:05 CT first pitch on Tuesday from Mercy Health Stadium. The Otters broadcast will be carried on the Otters Digital Network and simulcast on FloSports.
All home and road Otters games this season are televised on FloSports with audio-only coverage available for free on the Evansville Otters YouTube page.
The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions.

This story is part of a series that explores how school board meetings across the country are fomenting conflicts and controversies that have led to violence and arrests. Are you interested in a virtual event on this topic? Let us know here.
The woman at the podium was 14 seconds into reading a passage from a library book by a nonbinary author — an attempt to prove that the county board of education “promotes obscene material and porn,†as she’d described it — when the school board president Catherine Kazan cut her off.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate,†Kazan said. “There are young people in the audience.â€
“Of course it’s appropriate!†the woman, Pamela Macek, countered, raising her voice to be heard over the cacophony of cheers from the people seated behind her in the auditorium.
“Ma’am, you can verbalize your complaint without reading the book,†Kazan said.
“No, no! Oh no!†Macek bellowed, shaking her head from side to side. “You ain’t shutting me up.â€
She resumed reading from the book, “Gender Queer: A Memoir,†eking out about a dozen more words before her mic was cut. But still she kept at it.
“If this continues, we will clear the room,†Kazan warned, holding up her palm. Glancing up in search of help, Kazan said, “Officer, please?â€
But Macek continued her complaint about books in the high school library. “There are teenagers!†she yelled, loud and clear in the absence of a microphone. “With strap-ons! Giving blow jobs!â€
Kazan banged her gavel three times. “Officer! Officer! I could use a little help here. The woman refuses to leave the podium, and she’s being disruptive.â€
Macek, a substitute teacher who later claimed in a lawsuit that her opposition to mask mandates had led to her firing weeks before the meeting (she received a $22,500 settlement for emotional distress), was part of a chorus of attendees angered by what they perceived as dangers to students in Wayne Township, New Jersey. One of the eight people who’d addressed the board before her at the October 2021 meeting was concerned that the district’s COVID-19 precautions were overkill — or “hygiene theater†— as evidenced by the use of plexiglass shields in classrooms. Others had bemoaned the mention of abortion in the state’s sex-education curriculum and the “borderline pedophilic books†in the library.
CenterPoint Energy provides update on restoration efforts
July 3, 2023
· Multiple rounds of severe weather, including winds topping 55 mph and large hail, caused significant widespread damage to company’s electric system
·
More than 65 crews will be working around the clock to assess damages and make repairs
·
Some customers could be without power throughout the weekend as restoration efforts continue
Evansville – June 30, 2023 – Following Thursday’s severe weather which impacted CenterPoint Energy’s southwestern Indiana territory, the company’s electric system experienced extensive damage resulting in approximately 36,000 total customer outages following three separate weather events. Crews have restored more than 30,000 of those customers so far. Additional storms are expected to move through the area late Friday evening into Saturday morning which could impact the progress of repairs and cause additional outages. In some instances, customers should be prepared to be without power into the weekend.
Throughout the day, CenterPoint Energy will have more than 65 crews, including mutual assistance crews, comprised of damage assessment, linemen, apprentices, and vegetation management working to assess and restore power to impacted customers. Employees and mutual assistance resources are currently tackling widespread damage to poles, cross arms, downed wires and trees. Due to the extent of damages sustained in yesterday’s storms, the outage count is likely to fluctuate and additional outages could occur to allow for safe repairs on current outages. As of 1 p.m. CT, there were approximately 5,500 electric customers without power.
“CenterPoint Energy has activated our Emergency Operations Plan in response to this severe weather event and bring in additional resources to assist with restoration efforts. Our crews have made significant progress overnight restoring the majority of the impacted customers. However, due to the extensive damage, some outages are expected to extend throughout the weekend,†said Richard Leger, Senior Vice President, Indiana Electric at CenterPoint Energy. “We appreciate our customers’ continued patience as our restoration efforts continue.â€
The City of Evansville has activated its temporary cooling shelter at the C.K. Newsome Center. It will be open until 5 p.m. on Friday.
CenterPoint Energy reminds customers if they have experienced damage to the weatherhead – the point of entry from the service drop to the home – a licensed electrician will need to make necessary repairs before power can be safely restored.
CenterPoint Energy reminds customers to remain safe and remember:
·         Stay at least 35 feet away from downed power lines and damaged electric utility equipment and report them to CenterPoint Energy at 800-227-1376. Be especially mindful of downed lines that could be hidden and treat all downed lines as if they are energized.
·         Flood waters can be hazardous. Always use extreme care when stepping into flooded areas.
·         Be cautious around work crews and give them distance to assess damages and make repairs.
·         If your power is out, don’t open freezers and refrigerators any more than absolutely necessary. Opening these appliances will allow food to thaw more quickly.
·         If you smell natural gas, get to a safe area and call both 911 and CenterPoint Energy at 800-227-1376.
