Softball splits doubleheader at Valpo

0

Regular season finale set for Sunday at noon

 

VALPARAISO, Ind. – Izzy Vetter tossed an 8-inning complete game to help the University of Evansville softball team split Saturday’s doubleheader at Valparaiso.  After dropping the opener by a 5-1 final, the Purple Aces rebounded to take the second game, 2-1.

 

Game One – Valparaiso 5, UE 1

Valparaiso plated a pair of runs in the first and second innings to open the day with a 5-1 victory.  Jaina Westphal opened the scoring with a home run in the bottom half of the first before the Beacons added an unearned run.  Evansville countered with a run in the top of the second to cut the VU lead in half.  Haley Woolf reached on an error and would score on an RBI single by Jenna Nink.

 

The Beacons scored two more in the second when Lauren Kehlenbrink had a 2-RBI double.  They tacked on one more in the fifth to take the 5-1 win.  Easton Seib picked up the win, allowing one run on four hits in the complete game.

 

Game Two – UE 2, Valparaiso 1

Up by a 1-0 score for the majority of the game, the Aces fended off a late rally by the Beacons to take a 2-1 win in eight innings to split the two Saturday contests.  Evansville scored its first run in the top of the second.  Jessica Fehr recorded a leadoff double and moved to third on a single by Alyssa Barela.  Hannah Hood laid down a perfect bunt single to bring in Fehr and give the Aces a 1-0 lead.

 

Over the next four innings, Izzy Vetter allowed just three hits to keep Valpo scoreless, but that changed in the sixth when Lauren Kehlenbrink posted an RBI single to tie the game.  The Beacons threatened with a hit in the seventh, but Vetter kept things tied up as the game headed to extras.  It was Fehr drawing the leadoff walk before moving to second on a sacrifice by Haley Woolf before scoring on a wild pitch.  In the bottom of the 8th, Vetter kept the Beacons scoreless to secure her 15th victory of the season.  She scattered seven hits over eight innings and struck out six.  UE had four hits.

 

On Sunday, the teams will square off for the regular season finale at 12 p.m.

Eagles stun UIndy with sweep

0

NDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball stunned the University of Indianapolis with a doubleheader sweep, 7-4 and 5-3, Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Screaming Eagles go to 19-28 overall and 8-14 GLVC, while the Greyhounds are 20-27, 11-11 GLVC.
 
Game 1:
USI opened the final four-game series of the 2022 GLVC schedule with a comeback 7-4 victory.
 
The Eagles took an early 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when sophomore second baseman Alex Archuleta (Evansville, Indiana) drove in sophomore leftfielder Trent Robinson (Louisville, Kentucky) with a bunt single. Robinson had walked to lead off the frame, advanced to second on a sacrifice, and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch.
 
The 1-0 lead would last until the bottom of the fifth when the Greyhounds rallied with four runs to take the lead, 4-1. USI bounced back in the top of the sixth to narrow the new deficit, 4-3, with a pair of tallies.
 
Junior pinch hitter Gavin McLarty (Buckner, Kentucky) drove in USI’s second tally of the day with a ground out, while Archuleta struck again with an RBI-single.
 
The USI bats took their turn to ignite as the Eagles regained the lead in the top of the seventh, scoring four times for the 7-4 lead. Sophomore designated hitter Daniel Lopez (Dominican Republic) evened the score at 4-4 by scoring on a wild pitch before sophomore third baseman Nolan Cook (Evansville, Indiana) knocked in the lead run on a RBI-walk.
 
Archuleta drove in his third run of the game to put USI up 6-4 when he was hit by a pitch. Junior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) completed the scoring in the top of the seventh and the 7-4 lead, crossing the plate when junior rightfielder Ren Tachioka (Japan) reached on an error.
 
USI freshman right-hander Tyler Hutson (Villa Hills, Kentucky) would make that four-run rally standup to earn the win. Hutson (2-2), who relieved senior starter Brice Stuteville (Rockport, Indiana) in the fifth, blanked the Greyhounds for 4.1 innings. He allowed two hits and struck out two in relief.
 
Game 2:
USI capped off a doubleheader sweep with a 5-3 victory in game two versus UIndy.
 
The Eagles started the nightcap off with the same way as the opener, grabbing an early 1-0 lead. Junior catcher Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) gave the Eagles the first inning lead with a RBI-double to left center.
 
USI extended the lead to 2-0 in the next frame by manufacturing the run. Junior centerfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) started the frame by walking, advancing to second on a sacrifice, stole third, and scored on sac fly by sophomore second baseman Alex Archuleta.
 
After UIndy climbed back into the game with a pair of runs in the fourth, the Eagles re-took the lead with runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Sophomore designated hitter Daniel Lopez made the score 3-2 with a RBI-single in the fifth, while Kahre and sophomore third baseman Nolan Cook made the score 5-2 by crossing the plate on wild pitches.
 
The Greyhounds cut the margin back to two runs, 5-3, with a tally in the sixth before the Eagles shut the door on the victory.
 
On the mound, USI senior left-hander Sammy Barnett (Sellersburg, Indiana) picked up his third win of the season with a strong five-plus innings of work. Barnett (3-2) allowed three runs on six hits, while striking out two.
 
Sophomore right-hander Carter Stamm (Jasper, Indiana) finished the contest and posted his first save of the year. Stamm threw 1.2 innings, allowing no runs and one hit.
 
Up Next for the Eagles:
USI and UIndy conclude the series Sunday with an 11 a.m. (CDT) single game. The doubleheader is the season finale for the Eagles.
 

Attorney General Todd Rokita defends Hoosiers against lawlessness at the southern border

Attorney General Rokita’s lawsuit targets federal rule change making it easier for aliens to obtain asylum through false claims

Attorney General Todd Rokita is defending Hoosiers with another legal action against the Biden administration’s continued failure to protect Hoosiers and all Americans from ongoing surges of illegal immigration.

This time, Attorney General Rokita is challenging a new federal rule that makes it easier for aliens to obtain asylum in the United States on false premises.

“The current regime in Washington will resort to any tactic, it seems, to encourage illegal aliens to enter our country,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But Hoosiers can rest assured that we will fight even harder to uphold the rule of law than the Biden administration is fighting to destroy it.”

The new federal rule, which goes into effect on May 31, transfers responsibilities for adjudicating aliens’ asylum claims from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Executive Office of Immigration Review to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asylum officers. These officers historically have accepted asylum claims much more easily than the DOJ immigration judges who generally subject them to more rigorous scrutiny.

The new rule also eliminates various procedural safeguards — allowing aliens seeking asylum, for example, to just provide oral statements rather than submit claims in writing.

“Leftists would prefer that patriotic Americans not notice these incremental changes,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But they’re all part of an intentional pattern of moving our country toward a radical new era of open borders.”

Illegal immigrants crossing into America often arrive in Indiana within just 48 hours of coming across the southern border. Hoosier communities feel the impact of the lawlessness at the southern border through an increase in fentanyl overdoses, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: NOAH ROBINSON THANKS HIS SUPPORTERS

0

It is with great pleasure that I address the people who voted in the recent Vanderburgh County Democratic primary.

I’m extremely humbled by your support for me as the Democratic candidate for Vanderburgh County Sheriff in the recent primary election.

This past primary race was a grueling one. It tested our team’s endurance, our organizational and logistical skills, and at times took every ounce of energy I had to give. I’m proud of the result, but even more proud of the group of supporters we have assembled.
Running a Sheriff’s Office requires the ability to assemble a team, build a consensus, keep people engaged, and see your initiatives through. Our win last Tuesday in a highly contested race was a major step towards demonstrating to the public that I have what it takes to lead the Sheriff’s Office.
I enter into the upcoming general election with great anticipation and look forward to debating the issues with my opponent. The differences between the two candidates will become readily apparent.
My stances on some hot button issues will likely appear more moderate than my competition. Having previously served as second-in-command of the  Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office.
 I know that bumper sticker slogans don’t translate well into policy. A Sheriff must see all sides of an issue and take action for the best interest of the entire community. A Sheriff must stay above the increasingly polarizing talking points that spew out of our national political scene.
I will not embarrass my uniform or my Office by engaging in hyper-partisanship. I am a Democrat, but I will be a Sheriff first. I also understand that It is my job to protect the constitutional rights of our citizens, which is a responsibility I have taken seriously for over 21 years.
My campaign platform is based on a common sense approach to dealing with the challenges facing our community. I feel that my initiatives will lead to lower crime rates, reduced violence in our community, and a smaller jail population.
I want to thank every one of the 4,405 voters who showed up last Tuesday and cast their ballot for me.
If I didn’t have your support during the primary election,  I will do my best to earn your confidence and support over the next six months.
Sincerely,
Noah Robinson
Candidate For Vanderburgh County Sheriff

EPA and Army Host Midwest-Focused Virtual Regional WOTUS Roundtable

0

WASHINGTON (May 6, 2022) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of the Army (Army) (together, the agencies) will host a virtual Midwest-focused regional roundtable on “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) on May 9, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. central time. The virtual roundtable hosted by the agencies was organized by the National Parks Conservation Association and is one of ten roundtables selected to highlight diverse perspectives and regional experience on WOTUS implementation.

“As EPA and Army continue toward WOTUS implementation that is durable and protects our water resources, it is essential that we hear from diverse perspectives and understand regional variations in how that plays out. We believe all Americans support clean water and look forward to the interesting dialogue that will be cultivated in these roundtables,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Water Radhika Fox.

“The Army is looking forward to participating in these regional roundtables, particularly to gain a better understanding of ways to ensure implementation of the definition of WOTUS is clear with the appropriate level of consideration for regional differences and identification of tools that may exist.  The Army recognizes how important communication is to implementing the Clean Water Act and looks forward to the upcoming dialogue,” said Mr. Jaime Pinkham, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.

In February, EPA and Army announced the selection of ten virtual regional roundtables that highlight geographic differences and a range of perspectives—including agriculture, conservation groups, developers, drinking water and wastewater managers, environmental organizations, communities with environmental justice concerns, industry, Tribal nations, and state and local governments.

Watch the livestream for this Midwest roundtable here.

The regional roundtables are one important mechanism for the agencies to consider the regional issues and variation in implementation of WOTUS, given the diverse water quality and quantity conditions in different parts of the United States. The regional roundtables will provide opportunities to discuss geographic similarities and differences, particular water resources that are characteristic of or unique to each region, and site-specific feedback about the way WOTUS has been implemented by the agencies. The remaining nine roundtables will be held later this month and next month.

Otters’ comeback in exhibition comes up one run short

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - After falling behind early, the Evansville Otters fought back multiple instances in a 6-5 exhibition loss to the Gateway Grizzlies Friday evening.

 

Gateway opened the scoring in the top of the first with a hard-hit ball by Isaac Benard to first base. The ball had enough on it that it caused first basemen Steven Sensley to misplay it, allowing Trevor Achenbach to score from second base.

 

The 1-0 lead lasted until the fourth inning when the Otters found the scoreboard for the first time off a home run to left field from leftfielder Jeffery Baez.

 

In the top of the fifth, Evansville had one of their best pitching performances of the night, when Jake Polancic struck out the side in his only inning of work.

 

Gateway blew the game open in the top of the sixth, scoring one on an RBI single from Jose Rosario. A base hit and walk later, the bases were loaded for pinch-hitter Pete Zimmerman, who sent a grand slam ball over the left-field wall, advancing the Grizzlies’ lead to 6-1.

 

The Otters’ comeback kicked off in the bottom of the 7th inning when the Otters had the bases loaded for the third time in the evening. J.R. Davis kicked off the scoring with an RBI single, good for his third base hit of the night.

 

An error after a fielder’s choice on a Kyle MacDonald ground ball gave the Otters two more runs. Zach West brought the Otters within one with an RBI single to up the middle, but their rally ended there.

 

Gateway would ride the 6-5 lead all the way to the end. The Grizzlies scored their six runs on six hits, while only stranding four runners. Evansville, however, stranded 11 runners, recording their five runs on seven hits.

 

The two sides face off once again on Saturday at GCS Credit Union Ballpark in Sauget, Ill. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m.
