Aces and Mustangs meet on Saturday afternoon

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – For the first time in 49 years, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team travels to the State of Texas as the Purple Aces face SMU on Saturday at 2 p.m.  UE faces the Mustangs in Moody Coliseum with the broadcast set for ESPN+.

Last Time Out

– Trailing by as many as 17 points in the first half, Evansville got within one in the final 20 minutes before Southeast Missouri State finished with a 67-61 victory

– Kenny Strawbridge Jr. scored 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting while Yacine Toumi added 13 points and 7 boards

– Sekou Kalle and Marvin Coleman II hauled in 12 rebounds apiece

Back to Texas

– Evansville will play a game in Texas for the first time since December of 1973

– A 2-game road swing that year saw the Aces earn a 100-76 win over Lamar in Beaumont, Texas before traveling to El Paso the next day to face UTEP where the squad fell by a 60-57 final

Rebounding Stat

– It has been close to eight years since two Evansville players had 10+ rebounds in a game as Marvin Coleman II and Sekou Kalle accomplished the feat against SEMO

– The last time UE did so came on Dec. 28, 2014 when Egidijus Mockevicius and Mislav Brzoja each grabbed 10 boards versus Coppin State

Another 20-point Game

– With 22 points against SEMO, Kenny Strawbridge Jr. improved his season average to 17.7 points per game and is 7th in the MVC

– Knocking down 9 of his 17 attempts, Strawbridge scored 23 points to lead UE to a 78-74 win at Miami Ohio

– His debut was the best for Evansville since DeAndre Williams scored 26 against Ball State in his first game with the program in 2019

Double-Double Threat

– Every time he takes to the floor, Yacine Toumi has the chance to record a double-double

– Toumi is averaging 14.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game on the season and recorded the first double-double of his career at Saint Louis, posting 14 points and 10 rebounds

– He currently ranks inside the MVC’s top 18 in scoring, rebounding and minutes played

– His debut at Miami Ohio saw him score 15 points, including the first eight UE tallies of the game

Scouting the Opponent

– SMU comes into Saturday’s game with a 1-2 record with a win over Texas A&M-Commerce and losses to Dayton and New Mexico

– Zhuric Phelps has had an outstanding start to the season, checking in with an average of 18.7 points per game

– Zach Nutall is just behind with a mark of 15.0 PPG

– On the boards, it is Efe Odigie leading the Mustangs with 10.0 rebounds including 8.0/game on the defensive end

– Samuell Williamson is also a force on the boards, standing with 8.3 caroms per contest

Frontier League Moves to Increase Action and Shorten Game Times

0
The Frontier League announced on Friday they will be adding a Pitch Clock in all ballparks for the 2023 season. The clock, which will limit the time pitchers and hitters take between pitches, is designed to increase the action and reduce the down time in Frontier League games.

The new rules will require pitchers to wait no longer than 14 seconds between pitches when there are no runners on base. If there are runners on base, they will have 18 seconds to deliver the ball to home plate. Batters must be in the box and ready to hit at the 9 second mark. Violation of these time parameters can result in a called strike or ball depending on the offender.

The rule changes also include limits on the number of disengagements (pick-off attempts, stepping off the pitching rubber, etc.) a pitcher can make per at-bat. Once a runner is on base, the pitcher is allowed two disengagements. If the pitcher makes a third pick-off attempt, for example, and does not pick-off the runner, a balk will be called, and the baserunner(s) will advance one base.

“The League Directors are committed to offering the best possible entertainment to Frontier League fans, and we believe the addition of a pitch clock will help achieve this goal”, stated Frontier League President Eric Krupa. “These two changes will increase the pace of Frontier League games and provide our fans a more enjoyable experience when they come out to our ballparks or watch our games on FloSports.”

There will be a grace period to start the Frontier League season, with warnings issued but no penalties enforced. The automatic ball, strike, or balk will be fully enforced beginning with games on Tuesday, May 30.

“I am very excited to see these new additions,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “I feel this will help with the pace of play and make the games more entertaining for all levels of baseball fans.”

Over the years, the Frontier League has adopted other rules that mirror what MLB has
implemented in affiliated baseball to improve the pace of games. Previous changes included the adoption of rules to require a batter to keep one foot in the batter’s box and limits on the number of mound visits each team was allowed during games.

The Frontier League will kick off the 2023 season on Thursday May 11th . The League is the largest and longest tenured MLB Partner League, featuring 16 teams stretching from St. Louis to Quebec City, Canada.

2023 Indiana Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest

0

The Indiana State Police is proud to partner again in 2023 with the U.S. Department of Justice in promoting the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest.  In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25th as National Missing Children’s Day.  This day is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers and all concerned individuals with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority.  It serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with their families and loved ones.  It also serves as an occasion to honor those who are dedicated to this very noble cause.  The National Missing Children’s Poster Contest provides an opportunity for schools, law enforcement, and parents/guardians to discuss and promote child safety.

The state winner will receive a national award certificate from the U.S. Department of Justice and their poster will be selected to go to the national judging competition.  The national winner, along with his/her parents and teacher, and the state manager will be invited to Washington, D.C. to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day ceremony.

Some important facts about the contest:

  • There is NO LIMIT on the number of posters a school can submit.
  • Only one (1) poster per student is allowed for submission.
  • Students who submit posters MUST be in the 5th grade. 
  • Artwork should reflect the theme “Bringing Our Missing Children Home.” This phrase MUST appear somewhere on the poster.
  • The theme may be depicted in the artwork through one or a combination of illustrations and can be created using media such as acrylics, watercolor, pencils, charcoal, magic markers, spray paint, crayons and pastels. Digitally produced images, collages, cut-outs and stamping WILL NOT be eligible for consideration.
  • The finished poster MUST measure 8 ½ X 14 inches.
  • The poster must be submitted with a COMPLETED application, which includes a description of the poster and a brief biography of the artist.
  • All poster contest rules can be found here: 2023 Poster Contest Packet.pdf
  • Deadline for submissions from participating organizations to be received by Sergeant Seth Tumey is February 7, 2023.

Submissions are to be sent to:
Indiana State Police Museum
Attn: Sergeant Seth Tumey
8660 E 21st Street
Indianapolis, IN 46219

If ever a child goes missing, contact your local police department or dial 9-1-1.  It is also a good idea to keep an updated picture or cell phone image, and a DNA sample from your child.  For more safety and prevention tips please visit http://www.in.gov/amberalert/2335.htm      

Former Otters pitcher Sawyer signs with Cardinals

0

After an astounding 2022 season, former Evansville Otters closer Logan Sawyer has been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals.

Sawyer, a Knoxville, Tennesee native, signed with Evansville ahead of the 2021 season. During the 2021 season, Sawyer matched an Otters single-season record for saves (25).

“Logan earned this opportunity,” Otters pitching coach Max Peterson said. “He is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen – always trying to get better and work on his craft. He will go down as one of the best relievers in Evansville Otters and Frontier League history. I am so happy for Logan and his family, we wish him the best.”

The righty dominated the Frontier League in 2022, allowing just 1 unearned run on 11 hits in 29+ innings of work. Sawyer struck out 39 batters while allowing just three walks. He finished the year with a 2-1 record and 0.00 ERA. With 22 saves in 2022, Sawyer moved to second all-time in Otters history with 47.

“I couldn’t be happier for Logan,” Evansville manager Andy McCauley said. “After a remarkable two years for the Otters, he certainly deserves this opportunity with the Cardinals. We wish him the best of luck.”

The 2022 Frontier League relief pitcher of the year returns to affiliated baseball for the first time since 2016 when he was in the Rockies affiliation after being drafted by Colorado in 2014.

“The Evansville Otters gave me a chance when nobody else did,” Sawyer said. “Max [Peterson] and Andy [McCauley] deserve so much credit for this. From the front office down, the whole organization does things the right way.”

In his two seasons with Evansville, Sawyer allowed 47 hits across 66+ innings with a 1.63 ERA, the sixth-best career ERA in Otters history. He struck out 87 total batters and gave up nine walks. Sawyer was a Frontier League All-Star in each of his two seasons in Evansville.

“The Cardinals are a phenomenal organization,” Sawyer added. “I know I am going to have a chance to go over there and compete right away and that is all I could ask for.”

The Otters have sent 87 players to affiliated organizations out of Evansville.

Relays Sharp on First Day of Invite

0

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana swimming and diving set a program record in the women’s 200-yard freestyle relay to highlight a solid first day at the Ohio State Fall Invitational on Thursday (Nov. 17) inside the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.

IU posted NCAA A cuts in all four relays raced on the first day of the midseason competition. IU swimmers and divers recorded 23 NCAA qualifying marks during the preliminary session and added 29 in evening finals.

IU’s quartet of sophomore Anna Peplowski, senior Ashley Turak, junior Elizabeth Broshears, and freshman Kristina Paegle finished in 1:27.77, six tenths of a second faster than the old mark, which Turak was part of during the 2020 Big Ten Championships. The freshman Paegle had the quickest split of the field, anchoring IU in a blazing fast 21.28. Turak also broke 22 seconds, going 21.85.

Paegle wrote her name in the record book again with IU’s third-best time in the 50-yard freestyle, swimming a 22.07 during prelims. The Bloomington native finished second in the event Thursday night, going 22.11 in her second attempt.

Senior Van Mathias kept his momentum going as the only swimmer to break 19 seconds in the men’s 200 freestyle relay with an 18.61 to anchor IU’s win in the event. Sophomore Finn Brooks’ 19.11 was the third-fastest split, as fellow sophomore Rafael Miroslaw (19.69) and junior Gavin Wight (19.30) made up the first two legs.

The same IU men’s 400 medley relay group that finished second at the national meet last season had its first showcase of the season and impressed. Senior Brendan Burns (45.36), sophomore Josh Matheny (51.11), junior Tomer Frankel (45.96) and sophomore Rafael Miroslaw (41.55) posted a 3:03.98, more than two seconds better than second place Virginia Tech. The fastest time coming into the day was 3:05.89. IU’s B relay posted a B cut, going 3:07.24 to place fourth.

The IU women went an A cut 3:30.60 to finish second in that race with three of the four swimmers from the earlier relay.

IU loaded the A finals in the women’s 500-yard freestyle and 200 IM, placing three of the top six finishers in both races. Sophomores Ching Hwee Gan and Mariah Denigan earned second and third place, respectively, in the first distance race of the week, while Tomer Frankel, going 1:44.57, led Indiana’s 2-4-6 placement in the individual medley.

Junior Anne Fowler was the runner-up on the women’s 3-meter springboard after improving her score by 85 points between prelims and finals. Fowler posted a 375.55 in the evening, just under seven points shy of Kentucky graduate Kyndal Knight. Sophomores Carson Tyler and Quinn Henninger were the top two scorers on the 1-meter board Thursday morning but settled for a third-place finish from Henninger (378.70) and a fifth-place showing from Tyler (359.95) in the second round.
