Otters battle Miners to win series opener
The Evansville Otters kept it rolling on the river with a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Southern Illinois Miners Friday night from Bosse Field.
In front of 2,400 fans at Bosse Field, the Otters won their fourth in a row to remain atop the Frontier League’s West Division.
The Miners took the first lead of the night when Ian Walters scored from third on a sac fly by Luke Mangieri. The Miners would score their only other runs of the night when Jared Mang hit an opposite-field home run that scored Anthony Brocato, who had reached on a fielding error.
Evansville answered quickly in the bottom of the second, when Elijah MacNamee smoked a leadoff home run off the back wall of billboards beyond left field.
The Otters would cut the Miners’ lead to one when J.R. Davis doubled home Miles Gordon in the bottom of the fifth, making the score 3-2.
Braden Scott would toss his last frame in the top of the seventh, throwing his sixth scoreless inning while allowing only his second hit of the night on an infield single. Scott finished the top half of the inning with ten strikeouts and only one walk.
After the stretch, the Otters would rally to tie the game when Miles Gordon collected his second hit of the day on an RBI double that scored Andy DeJesus. Then, with two out, J.R. Davis drove home the go-ahead run with an infield single back up the middle that was stopped on a slide behind the second base bag. The Otters then led by what would be the 4-3 final.
Taylor Wright came on to pitch a 1-2-3 eighth with two strikeouts.
After the Otters were kept from scoring insurance in their half of the inning, Logan Sawyer came on to work the top of the ninth with the slim, one-run lead.
Facing the meat of the Miners’ order, Sawyer would tear off a perfect ninth inning, picking up his league-leading fifteenth save.
The Otters will continue their four-game series with the Miners with doubleheader action Saturday night. Game one will start at 5:05 p.m. Saturday night’s game will be broadcast on Frontier League LiveTV, with a 4:50 p.m. pregame show.

Attorney General Todd Rokita Invites Hoosiers o Visit Indiana Unclaimed Booth At State Fair
The Office of the Attorney General will operate a booth this year at the Indiana State Fair as a means of connecting with constituents visiting from across the state.
“The Indiana State Fair is a cherished tradition among people of all ages,†Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “It’s also a great place for Hoosiers to interact with our staff, share their thoughts and learn about the various ways our office can serve them.â€
Much of the focus of the Attorney General’s booth will be on helping Hoosiers find unclaimed property they might have available to them. On Friday, Aug. 13, in fact, the theme for the entire fair is “Indiana Unclaimed Day.â€
Using computer tablets, staff at the booth will help fairgoers search their names at IndianaUnclaimed.gov and help them understand the claims process for obtaining any money they find.
Additionally, staff will hand out information to help consumers protect themselves from the most prevalent types of scams perpetrated by fraudsters trying to steal Hoosiers’ identities and/or swindle them out of money. Staff also will provide copies of the Parents Bill of Rights developed by Attorney General Rokita to help families advocate for their children in the public arena.
The fair runs from Friday, July 30, to Sunday, Aug. 22. The Attorney General’s booth will be located in the Hoosier Lottery Expo Hall and will be staffed from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
The fairgrounds will be closed for cleaning every Monday and Tuesday for the duration of the State Fair.
“Hoosiers attend the State Fair for many reasons,†Attorney General Rokita said. “Even if your priority is riding the Ferris wheel, grabbing an elephant ear or seeing the livestock, I hope you’ll also take time to stop by our booth and say hi.â€

UNPAID STAFF
UNPAID STAFF
By Jim Redwine
I have a friend who quite frequently volunteers to help others. He refers to himself and other such generous souls as unpaid staff. Fortunately for those of us who are blessed to live in or visit Osage County, Oklahoma there is a hard-working unpaid staff that helps preserve and promote the historic Constantine Theater. My family benefitted greatly from those efforts a couple of weekends ago when we held our two-day family reunion, jam session, art show and new book launching at the Constantine. We had a great time.
In addition to the volunteers who serve on the Board, there are a few competent and gracious paid staff such as Jennifer Adair and Shannon Martin who do the scheduling and make sure the lights come on. Jennifer’s mother, Linda Hubbard, as well as Jennifer’s daughters, Katie and Grace, also pitched in and helped make the weekend special. One of the unpaid staff, Board Member Cameron Chesbro, not only saw to the myriad technical needs of our diverse musical group he also displayed his own fine musical talents by sitting in as our unpaid drummer. Neither Gene Krupa nor Buddy Rich could have been a better fit.
It was wonderful to see friends, old and new, who took the time to drop in and cheer on our family jam session that included the world premiere of an original song The Redwine Waltz written and performed by C.E. Redwine and Roger Coble. We have a family that includes a few truly exceptional professional musicians, not including Peg and me, and several enthusiastic non-professionals, that is Peg and me. However, everyone dove right in and even some audience members got up and danced in the aisles of the grand ’ole Osage County Opry. Thanks for joining in the fun.
As one who grew up in Pawhuska and attended the Kihekah (Constantine) Theater on a regular basis for numerous community events it felt good to see the old girl sparkle once more. Osage County has many talented and creative people who need a stage to display their gifts to our community. The Constantine has a fine lighting and sound system thanks to the generous support of the contributors and volunteers. The Constantine has even served as a regular venue for feeding the extremely courteous and friendly crew and extras of the Killers of the Flower Moon movie.
Plays, movies, ballets, musical performances, lectures, dancing and numerous other public uses are being made of this one-hundred-year-old, ornate edifice. On mine and the whole Redwine Family’s behalf, several of whom have called Pawhuska their home, thank you to all the staff, paid and unpaid, who helped make our reunion so memorable and so much fun.
By the way, the Constantine is available for use by calling 918-900-6161 or just stop by and speak to the friendly people who are proud to be able to show off the grand old dame.

UE Spencer Wagner Named DI All-America Scholar
Award Is Second In Wagner’s Career
 NORMAN, Okla. – For the second time in his career at the University of Evansville, golfer Spencer Wagner was recognized as a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar in an announcement by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate’s Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA.
In addition, they must participate in 40-percent of his team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in NCAA Division I, under 78.0 in NCAA Division II, under 79.0 in NCAA Division III, under 78.0 in NAIA, and under 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
“I could not be more proud of this accomplishment for Spencer,†UE head golf coach John Andrews exclaimed. “His dedication in the classroom and his fine play this last year earned him this great honor.â€
Wagner enjoyed another strong season for the Purple Aces, pacing the men with a 75.38 stroke average in the spring of 2021. In each of UE’s opening four tournaments, Wagner finished in the top 17. His best finish came at the Murray State Invitational where he earned a 10th place finish while shooting a 70 in the third round for his lowest score of the season.
