UE drops game one to IU

 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Saturday’s action at the Lady Bison Classic opened with the University of Evansville softball team falling to Indiana University by a 13-1 final before playing six innings of their second game of the day versus Akron.  Play was halted in the top of the seventh due to weather with the Zips leading by a 13-6 score.

Indiana scored three runs in the top of the first and cruised to a 13-1 victory in five innings.  The Purple Aces scored a single run in the bottom of the fifth.  Sarah Stone got the Hoosiers on the board with a 3-run home run in the first before single runs in the second and third extended the lead to 5-0.

In the top of the fifth, the Hoosiers put the game out of reach with eight runs.  Brianna Copeland contributed a 2-RBI double before Taryn Kern added a 3-run home run.  Evansville scored in the bottom of the fifth with Marah Wood getting it started with a 1-out walk.  Brooke McCorkle followed with a single up the middle and Jess Willsey reached on a fielder’s choice that saw Wood score.

Evansville’s hits came from McCorkle and Alexa Davis while IU had 13 hits.  Erin Kleffman took the loss for UE pitching four innings.  Sophie Kleiman was credited with the win for IU.  In four innings, she gave up just one hit.

Game Two – Akron 13, UE 6 (T7 – play to resume Sunday)

The Zips jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning as they recorded four hits.  Evansville cut into the deficit with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame.  With two outs, Taylor Howe walked before advancing to third on a Jenna Nink double.  Howe scored on a wild pitch before Nink came home on an Akron error.

In the second, the Zips got those two runs back while three scores in the top of the fourth extended the lead to 10-2.  Alexa Davis led the bottom of the fifth off with a solo home run before an RBI double by Hannah Hood made it a 10-4 game.

Akron scored three times in the top of the sixth before the Aces plated two runs in the bottom of the inning.  Davis recorded an RBI triple while Zoe Frossard brought in a second run when she reached on an error.  In the top of the 7th, play was halted due to weather and the game will resume at 11 a.m. Sunday morning.

Eagles drop the series opener with Oakland, 4-2

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball lost the series opener with Oakland University, 4-2, Friday evening at the USI Baseball Field. The Screaming Eagles watch their record go to 5-8, while Oakland goes to 4-8.

After spotting the Golden Grizzles a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, USI grabbed a 2-1 lead on a pair of solo home runs by senior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) and junior first baseman Tucker Ebest (Austin, Texas). Kahre led off the Eagles’ first inning with his first home run of the season, while Ebest led off the fourth inning with his team-best fourth of the year.

The score would remain in USI’s favor until the top of the seventh when the Grizzlies scored three times to re-take the lead, 4-2. The Eagles missed a chance to chip away at the deficit in the eighth, leaving the bags jammed, and in the ninth, leaving a runner on base.

USI sophomore right-hander Tyler Hutson (Villa Hills, Kentucky) took the hard luck loss for the Eagles after departing the game with the score tied, 2-2, and the eventual winning run on second. Hutson (1-2) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks in the start, while striking out a career-best seven in 6.1 innings of work.

Up Next for the Eagles:
USI and Oakland continue the three-game series Saturday with a 2 p.m. first pitch before concluding the set with a noon game Sunday.

PROSECUTOR MOERS ANNOUNCES SECOND JURY TRIAL WIN OF THE WEEK AFTER BRANDON ARTIS IS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER, ROBBERY, AND INTIMIDATION

0

Evansville, IN – Prosecutor Diana Moers announces that, on March 6–9, 2023, the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office successfully prosecuted Brandon Artis for shooting and killing his marijuana dealer and stealing his drugs and cash in front of a female civilian and her three children.

Trey McGillicuddy was a marijuana dealer who had recently started dealing with Artis. On August 27, 2022, Artis shot McGillicuddy at the latter’s residence in the presence of Sessily Bruner and her children. He then pointed his gun at Ms. Bruner and her daughter and demanded Ms. Bruner load up bags of marijuana or he would shoot the child. Artis took away the bags of marijuana, a satchel with cash in it, and other objects.

A search was conducted of Mr. Artis’ residence where the stolen items were found.A necklace with a pendant was found near the crime scene and looked identical to the one that Artis had worn.

The jury found the Defendant guilty of murder; one count of robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 2 felony; one count of armed robbery, a Level 3 felony; one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, a Level 4 felony; and two counts of intimidation where the defendant drew or used a deadly weapon, a Level 5 felony.

Artis waived his right to a jury trial on a felony firearm sentencing enhancement and a habitual offender sentencing enhancement, and those enhancements proceeded to a bench trial before the Honorable Robert J. Pigman. Judge Pigman is expected to issue a ruling prior to sentencing.

Prosecutor Moers thanked her Deputies, Jeremy Kemper and Audrey Beckerle, Detective Beitler, Mike Ward, and the entire EPD Street Crimes Unit for their exhaustive work on the case, and Jon Carter for their diligent efforts in this case. “We were able to remove another dangerous person off the streets because of careful and effective police work, coupled with a focused prosecution strategy,” stated Prosecutor Moers, “This serves as a strong warning to criminals that their unlawful actions will lead to severe consequences in Vanderburgh County.”

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Kemper commented, “While I know this verdict will not bring back Trey, I hope it provides some measure of justice and closure to his family.”

Sentencing is scheduled for April 12, 2023, in front of Judge Robert J. Pigman of the Vanderburgh Superior Court.
