Over 250,000 people crowded into Willkie’s hometown on a day that saw the temperature rise to 102. The Pennsylvania Railroad ran 29 extra trains that day. Willkie waged an energetic campaign but failed to prevent President Franklin D. Roosevelt from winning a third term in November.

Evansville comeback attempt falls short in Joliet

0

JOLIET, Ill. – The Evansville Otters fell behind in the fourth and never recovered, falling to the Joliet Slammers 4-2.

The scoring commenced in the fourth when the Slammers used a Matt Feinstein solo home run to jump ahead.

Joliet got at Evansville starter Justin Watland in the sixth, cashing in on a pair of one-out walks when JP Fullerton drove both in with an RBI double to right center. Immediately after, another run came across with an RBI single from Kyle Jacobson.

Jacob Bowles entered the game to complete the sixth inning for Evansville, grabbing the final out within the next at-bat.

The Otters finally struck in the seventh as Brody Tanksley brought in a run with an RBI double to right field.

In the eighth, Evansville tried at the comeback attempt once more. Elijah MacNamee brought in the final Otters run on a fielder’s choice groundout.

Joliet closer Tyler Jay entered in the ninth, shutting down Evansville in order to earn a save.

The win belonged to Cam Aufderheide, his seventh of the season. He allowed just one run on five hits in his 6.2 innings of work. Justin Watland received the loss, dropping him to 4-4 on the season. All four Joliet runs belonged to him.

Tanksley and Steven Sensley both secured multi-hit days for Evansville. Miles Gordon’s hit streak hit 20 games with a single in the second inning.

Evansville continues their road trip Saturday night with a 6:05 p.m. first pitch at Duly Medical Group Field in Joliet. Audio-only coverage is available for free on the Evansville Otters YouTube page.

Wes Carroll Signs Contract Extension

0
EVANSVILLE – Following Evansville’s best season in eight years, University of Evansville Director of Athletics Dr. Kenneth “Ziggy” Siegfried has announced a contract extension for Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll.
“Our baseball program is on the rise under the leadership of Coach Wes Carroll! He represents what it means to be a Purple Ace, and I know how much pride he takes in wearing Evansville across his chest,” said Siegfried. “I want to congratulate Wes on this well-deserved extension, and I want to thank him for his commitment to our student-athletes, the Purple Aces’ Community, and to all those that have come before us.”
The 2022 season was a special one for the Aces, finishing second in The Valley after being picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll and racking up a 32-24 record and a 14-6 mark in MVC action. For the success of the team, Carroll was named MVC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career, last earning the honor in 2014.
“I want to thank our Athletic Director Ziggy Siegfried and President Pietruszkiewicz for the opportunity to lead the baseball program for many years to come,” said Carroll on the extension. “We have accomplished a lot over the past 14 years but I feel like the Aces Baseball program is primed to take another big step. Thank you to all former and current student-athletes for building the foundation of our future.
I take a lot of pride in representing the city of Evansville and the University of Evansville as its Head Baseball Coach. I’m truly grateful for this opportunity.”A Tri-State native and 2001 graduate of the University of Evansville, Carroll has helped usher the program into a new era with the renovations to German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium, completed in 2020. Since the installation of turf and the renovations to the stadium, the Aces are 65-62, including a 38-23 mark at Braun Stadium.
2023 will represent Carroll’s 15th at the helm of the Aces program, where the 2001 UE graduate has amassed 352 victories, the second-most in Evansville history and also second among active MVC coaches.
Over the last two seasons, Carroll has produced numerous MVC awards including the 2022 Valley Pitcher of the Year and 14 MVC postseason honorees, while leading UE to back-to-back seasons above .500 for the first time since 2015-16.
