Boyd named OVC co-Player of the Week

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana sophomore outfielder Cameron Boyd was named the Ohio Valley Conference co-Player of the Week after leading the Screaming Eagles to a 3-2 week. The honor marks the second of the season after sophomore Parker Martin captured the award three weeks ago.

In five games this past week, Boyd mashed at the plate going 14 for 24 (.583). The sophomore moved his season batting averaged from .245 to .306. The week also included three home runs, four stolen bases, and a monstrous 12 runs batted in.

Boyd started the hot stretch with a two-hit performance as the Eagles completed the midweek sweep of Saint Louis University on Tuesday. Fast forward to Wednesday against Bellarmine University, Boyd swatted a liner out of the park, tying the contest at two. The sophomore stepped into the box in the fifth and deposited another inside pitch over the party deck in left field. Both were smashed over 100 mph off the bat, leading USI to a 10-9 victory with single-game career highs in home runs (2) and hits (4).

The native of Villa Hills, Kentucky rolled his momentum into the home conference weekend against Eastern Illinois University, going eight for 14. Boyd helped the Eagles earn the win Friday night with three hits and two runs batted in, along with another three-hit performance in Saturday’s loss. Finally, the sophomore finished the weekend with an opposite field three-run home run in another multi-hit performance in Sunday’s loss.

Boyd and the Eagles return to action on Wednesday with a road trip to Missouri Valley Conference opponent Illinois State University. USI looks to regain form in conference play with a trip to University of Tennessee at Martin on the weekend. This weekend is pivotal for the Eagles who sit in sixth place at 9-9, while the Skyhawks lurk behind at 7-10.

Aces baseball back at home for an in-state midweek showdown

0
The Purple Aces will play their next five games in Evansville
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — After a week on the road, the University of Evansville baseball team returns home to German American Bank Field for another big in-state non-conference game.
The Purple Aces left Springfield with a big win over the Missouri State Bears on Sunday afternoon. In UE’s final MVC series at Hammons Field, Evansville had a big offensive showing in the series finale. The Aces outlasted an almost four-hour slugfest against the Bears, picking up a 16-11 win.  UE had a season-high 17 hits against Missouri State in the win. Prior to Sunday’s game, Evansville had three 16-hit games earlier in the season, with the most recent coming back in March during the Aces’ first weekend of conference play at Murray State. UE had three batters combine for nine of the team’s 17 hits, while nine of the 10 batters in the lineup recorded at least a hit.

Evansville returns home for the next week, starting with a return visit from Indiana in the team’s home-and-home series. In their first meeting of the year, IU came out on top in a 7-4 midweek battle back on March 18. The Aces kept things close in the first game but weren’t able to come back from an early 2-0 deficit that began in the third inning. UE will come close to evening the series with the Hoosiers at home with a win on Tuesday night, as IU currently holds a 14-12 advantage in Evansville.

Indiana comes into Tuesday night’s game with a 23-21 overall average and an even 10-10 Big Ten Conference record. The Hoosiers were swept over the weekend by the Iowa Hawkeyes and will be looking to break their losing streak behind offensive leader outfielder Devin Taylor with a .366 batting average, a team-high 38 walks, and 50 RBIs.

Evansville added four home runs over the weekend at Hammons Field for its best slugging week of the season with five total long balls and 15 multi-base hits in four games. UE had its first back-to-back games with multiple home runs this season in Springfield, while sophomore Charlie Longmeier (Seymour, Ind. / Seymour HS) had a home run in each game. Longmeier had a big weekend for Evansville as he along with senior infielder Cal McGinnis (Kimberly, Wis. / Bradley) batted .429 in 14 at-bats in Hammons Field. Longmeier was one of three players with six hits against Missouri State on the weekend, and he was also the only Ace to record multiple home runs with his fourth and fifth career homers on Saturday and Sunday.

Also stepping up for UE was freshman first baseman Jake McGhee (Fenton, Mo. / Christian Brothers Academy) as he led the team’s starters in batting average over the weekend, slashing .462/.533/.538 as he was six of 13 at the plate. McGhee also added an RBI, and two runs scored over three games in Springfield. But it wasn’t just Evansville’s younger players showing up at the plate at Hammons Field. Despite dropping the series to the Bears, over half the Aces’ lineup batted over .300 on the weekend. In only three at-bats this weekend, senior catcher/pinch hitter Evan Waggoner was a perfect three-of-three from the plate with two doubles. While McGhee, McGinnis, Longmeier, infielder Drew Howard (Ferdinand, Ind. / Forest Park HS), and outfielder Harrison Taubert (Casper, Wyo. / Northeast CC) all had batting averages over .300.

UE men’s basketball adds Keishon Porter

0

Porter joins the Purple Aces from North Carolina Central

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Another addition to the University of Evansville men’s basketball team was announced on Wednesday when head coach David Ragland officially welcomed Keishon Porter.

Porter brings a wealth of experience to the Purple Aces program following two seasons at North Carolina Central.  He also spent his freshman campaign at Radford before playing at Cape Fear Community College.

“We want to officially welcome Keishon and his family to our Evansville community and basketball family,” Ragland said.  “K.P. Is a high energy defender that plays above the rim.  Our Aces fans will love watching Keishon compete on a nightly basis.”

As a senior at NC Central last season, Porter averaged 10.8 point, 3.3 rebounds, and 25.3 minutes per game.  He was a 47.9% shooter from the field while ranking in the top ten in the MEAC with a 72.2% free throw tally.  His top performance of the season was a 25-point, 10-rebounds game against Mid-Atlantic Christian.

Entering the 2024-25 campaign, Porter was a Preseason All-MEAC Third Team selection.  That came on the heels of his junior season with the Eagles where he averaged 8.9 points and 20.8 minutes per game.  In a contest against South Carolina State, he scored his top mark of 37 points on a 14-of-17 showing from the field.

“It felt like family when I got there for the visit, feel it’s a spot I can work and develop on my game to get to the next level,” Porter exclaimed.

As a freshman at Radford in 2020-21, Porter appeared in 15 games and scored a season-high six points versus Mars Hill.  After redshirting in his first season at Cape Fear CC, he recorded 14.1 points and 5.0 rebounds as a sophomore before continuing his career at NC Central.

Porter is a native of Pinetops, N.C.
