In the bottom of the 5th, Northern Iowa put the finishing touch on the 8-0 win with Maggie Erpelding scoring on a sacrifice fly to end the game.  Pitcher Anna Wsichnowski earned the win for UNI.  She allowed three hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Eagles outslugged by Trojans

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball was outslugged by the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, 14-10, Saturday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI watched its record go to 15-32 overall and 6-14 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Little Rock is 27-17 overall, 12-5 OVC.
 
After spotting the Trojans a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, the Screaming Eagles soared into the lead with four in the bottom half of the opening frame. Senior second baseman Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) put the Eagles on the scoreboard with a two-run single, while junior rightfielder Ren Tachioka (Japan) tied the game with a RBI-fielder’s choice and junior catcher Parker Stroh (Grand Forks, North Dakota) doubled in the fourth run for the 4-3 lead.
 
Little Rock bounced back with a second-straight inning of three runs in the top of the second to regain the lead, 6-4. The Trojans would hold the lead until the third when the Eagles exploded with a five-run frame.
 
USI freshman third baseman Caleb Niehaus (Newburgh, Indiana) ignited the Eagle rally by knocking in Tachioka with a bases-loaded ground out. Senior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) put USI back into the lead, 7-6, with a two-run single before sophomore shortstop Ricardo Van Grieken (Venezuela) doubled in the eighth run and junior first baseman Tucker Ebest (Aust, Texas) finished the frame with a sacrifice fly and a 9-6 advantage.
 
From that point the Little Rock bats took over, scoring eight unanswered runs to post a 14-9 lead after eight innings. USI got one of the runs back in the ninth before Little Rock closed out the 14-10 decision.
 
USI sophomore right-hander Tyler Hutson (Villa Hills, Kentucky) took the loss for the Eagles in relief. Hutson (1-6) allowed five runs, one earned, on four hits and two walks, while striking out one in 1.2 innings.
 
Up Next for the Eagles:  
The USI-Little Rock three-game series concludes Sunday with USI’s Senior Day and a noon start. USI’s nine seniors – first baseman Adam Wildeman; pitcher Brady Bowling; infielder Alex Archuleta; outfielder Gavin McLarty; infielder/designated hitter Daniel Lopez; outfielder Evan Kahre; infielder/catcher Lucas McNew; manager Emily Papandria; student assistant coach A.J. Wheeler – will be honored at 11:30 a.m. with an on-field ceremony.

USI will be on the road for six of the final seven games of the 2023 regular season beginning next weekend with a visit to Oral Robert University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 12-14. The final week of the 2023 regular season has the Eagles returning home to host Ball State University May 16 before finishing out the 2023 OVC slate with a three-game series at Tennessee Tech University May 18-20.

Blazers split doubleheader at No. 12 Parkland behind career day by Medsker

0

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Vincennes University freshman pitcher Logan Medsker (Marshall, Ill.) had a big day Saturday afternoon on the mound, holding the highly ranked Cobras at bay by allowing only two hits over a career-high seven innings.

Medsker’s pitching performance in the series finale allowed VU to close out the weekend with a win after falling in game one of the day 10-5 before picking up the 3-2 victory in game two.

The day got off to a slow start at Parkland for the Blazers, with the Cobras getting on the board first in game one of the day.

Parkland plated two runs before VU answered back in the second with an RBI single by freshman Will Egger (Terre Haute, Ind.).

Parkland would get the run back in the bottom of the second to take a 3-1 lead before VU came through with a big rally in the third.

The first eight Trailblazer batters reached base to begin the third inning, including an RBI double by sophomore Colton Evans (Henderson, Ky.), an run scoring fielder’s choice by freshman Blake Heyerly (Monroe, Ind.) and another RBI single by Will Egger as VU took the lead at 4-3.

Parkland quickly grabbed the lead back with a pair of runs in the third and were able to extend this lead with a run in the fifth.

Vincennes would score in the sixth inning on a bases-loaded walk by sophomore Dale Coy (Evansville, Ind.).

Parkland added some insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth and finished out game one to pick up the 10-5 victory over the Trailblazers.

Vincennes had little trouble getting on base in game one of the day, with seven of VU’s nine starters reaching base multiple times and all nine reaching base at some point throughout the game.

Freshman Kade Hinton (Fort Wayne, Ind.) reached base three times and came around to score two runs, while sophomore leadoff hitter Ethan Burdette (Linton, Ind.) set the tone by reaching base four times.

Sophomore Gavin Craggs (Taylorville, Ill.) got the start in game one of the day, throwing five and one-third innings, allowing six runs on seven hits and striking out seven.

Freshman Christian Pinson (Elizabethtown, Ky.) entered to finish out the sixth inning, throwing the final two-thirds of the sixth, allowing four runs, all unearned, on four hits and striking out one.

Vincennes looked to close out the weekend strong however in the series finale and quickly grabbed the momentum with Ethan Burdette leading off the game with a double and later scoring on a sacrifice fly by Colton Evans.

Logan Medsker held the Cobra hitters off the board early in game two, with Parkland not getting their first base runner until the third inning and first hit until the fifth inning.

After the Cobras evened the score at 1-1 in the fifth, VU answered back in the sixth to take the lead back after Colton Evans and Kade Hinton led off the inning with singles, followed by an RBI double by Dale Coy. Hinton later came in to score on a wild pitch to give the Blazers a 3-1 lead.

Parkland would get a run back in the seventh but were unable to complete the comeback, even after getting the bases loaded with no outs in the ninth.

VU closed out the game with a line drive double play and picked off a Parkland baserunner to end the game as Vincennes closed out the road portion of their schedule with a 3-2 win over the No. 12-ranked Cobras.

Logan Medsker picked up the winning decision with a strong outing on the mound in game two, allowing two runs, both unearned, on two hits and striking out seven over a career-high seven innings.

Sophomore Caleb Moore (St. Louis, Mo.) was the first out of the pen in the eighth, retiring the only batter he faced on one pitch.

Freshman Aaron Fenn (Fort Wayne, Ind.) came in to get the final two outs of the eighth, allowing two hits in two-thirds of an inning.

Freshman Christian Pinson entered in the ninth to pick up the save without allowing a hit in an inning.

The Trailblazers will return home for the final Mid-West Athletic Conference (MWAC) series of the season when VU hosts Spoon River College at Jerry Blemker Field next weekend.

The series will begin on Friday, May 12 with first pitch set for 3 p.m. eastern, before the Blazers return to the field Saturday, May 13 for Sophomore Day. First pitch Saturday is set for 12 p.m. eastern.

INDIANA’S MY HEALTHY BABY PROGRAM NOW AVAILABLE STATEWIDE

0

INDIANAPOLIS—Leaders from the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) today celebrated the completion of the rollout of My Healthy Baby, the state’s obstetrical navigator program that is designed to improve health outcomes for both mother and baby. The program is an initiative of Governor Eric J. Holcomb.

“We remain committed to ensuring that every mother and every baby has the opportunity to achieve their best health outcome, and I’m so proud of the work our teams have done to bring this to every county across the state,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Thanks to our partners in every corner of the state, we are meeting Hoosiers where they are and helping our youngest residents celebrate the first of many birthdays.”

Launched in January 2020, My Healthy Baby is a partnership between IDOH, FSSA and the Indiana Department of Child Services that connects pregnant women who are enrolled in Medicaid with free home visiting services and support in their communities during their pregnancy and throughout their baby’s first year of life. Since its inception, the program has referred more than 12,000 women to local support through programs such as Nurse-Family Partnership and Healthy Families.

“Improving the health of women and children takes a village, and My Healthy Baby allows us to leverage partnerships at the state and local levels to achieve those goals,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “Bringing this program to our 92nd county is a proud moment for Indiana because it means we are meeting pregnant women where they live, with the resources they need to have healthier pregnancies and support them through that critical first year of their baby’s life. I am incredibly grateful to our legislators for funding this program and to all the home visiting providers across the state who make a difference for the women who participate.”

Rusyniak noted that the program provides essential connections that make it easier to navigate needs such as nutrition, childcare and issues such as treatment for substance use disorder.

“At the heart of My Healthy Baby is prevention, because having someone you trust come beside you before, during and after your delivery not only allows them to address immediate risks and concerns, but to prevent future problems,” Rusyniak said. “Alongside My Healthy Baby, we launched the Indiana Pregnancy Promise Program in Medicaid to make sure that our home visiting navigators have the tools and managed care partners to help moms get into recovery and stay in recovery. In our first year, 275 women participated successfully.”

Eligible women can be referred to My Healthy Baby by a provider or can refer themselves by visiting https://www.myhealthybabyindiana.com/ or calling 844-624-6667.
