Izzy Vetter throws no-hitter against Creighton

Aces earn win over former MVC foe

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior Izzy Vetter threw her second no-hitter of the weekend on Sunday to clinch a 2-0 win over Creighton inside Cooper Stadium.

 

It was the third no-hitter of the season for Vetter and fourth of her career.  The senior struck out 13 batters and walked just four on the way to her 10th victory of the spring.  In 17 innings of work over the weekend, Vetter allowed just two hits and one earned run while striking out 32 batters.  Evansville finished with three hits including the third home run of the season from Marah Wood.

 

A pair of runners were stranded in the first inning for UE and it looked like Creighton would take advantage in the top of the second, putting runners on first and third with no outs.  Vetter had other ideas and proceeded to strike out the side to keep things scoreless.  She racked up eight strikeouts in the opening four frames before the offense scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the inning.

 

Jenna Nink singled to lead the inning off with Dori Brown coming in to pinch run.  Productive outs saw Brown advance to third where the freshman proceeded to steal home for the first run of the game.  Marah Wood added a huge insurance run in the sixth, hitting a homer to right field.  In the seventh, Vetter took care of business, adding two more strikeouts to her tally to finish the victory.

 

Sunday’s finale against Bowling Green was called a no contest due to the rain and lightning in the area.  UE will be in action next weekend at the Racer Classic, which will be hosted by Murray State.

Evansville, In.: Despite the Thunderbolts outshooting the Storm 41-30, Quad City managed to defeat Evansville for the second-straight night, 5-1 on Sunday afternoon at Ford Center. The Thunderbolts next home game will be on Friday, March 11th at 7:00pm CST as they host the Birmingham Bulls.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

 

The Thunderbolts started strong on the attack in the first period and at one point outshot Quad City 10-1, however the Storm managed to score on their only early shot, as Carter Shinkaruk put Quad City in front at the 7:42 mark.  Later in the period, Quad City converted on the power play as Connor Fries made it 2-0 at 17:09, and Ben Duperreault scored just over a minute later to make it 3-0 Quad City through the first period.

 

Fries scored once again 15:02 into the second period before the Thunderbolts finally got on the board, as Coy Prevost scored from Cameron Cook and Tyson Kirkby on the power play at 18:40 to make it 4-1.  Evansville was unable to build on that burst of momentum, and Tommy Tsicos scored for the Storm at 7:19 of the third period to wrap up the scoring at 5-1.

 

Prevost scored the lone goal for Evansville.  Ryan Edquist finished with 25 saves on 30 shots faced.  The Thunderbolts still only need 10 points out of 22 possible remaining to clinch a berth in the SPHL Playoffs.

 

The Thunderbolts are currently competing in their fifth season in the SPHL (Southern Professional Hockey League). Season tickets are less than $9 per game.  To order your tickets for this season, call 812-422-BOLT(2658).

Todd Rokita Secures $7.25 Million In Relief In Connection With Aloft Mgt Pointe Lawsuit

0

INDIANAPOLIS—Attorney General Todd Rokita today announced that $7.25 million in required repairs and critical infrastructure commitments have been secured for the residents of Lakeside Pointe at Nora and Fox Club Apartments.  

 “When our office filed suit against Aloft Mgt, LLC and Fox Lake AHF, Inc., I made it clear that when landlords and property managers fail to meet their basic obligation to provide tenants with safe and secure housing, I will do my best to hold them accountable and seek justice for Hoosiers who’ve been wronged,” said Attorney General Rokita. “I have kept my promise despite some unfavorable rulings by the Marion County Court and now, the residents of Lakeside Pointe at Nora and Fox Club Apartments can expect real improvement to the places they call home.”   

 The properties in question have been sold to a new owner who has made a commitment to invest the necessary capital to significantly improve conditions at the properties for the tenants who live there. The new owner’s agreement, which the Attorney General’s office will help monitor, contains the following commitments:  

 $7.25 million dollars to be set aside for required repairs;  

  1. A commitment to resolve existing emergency health department cases within 30 days;  
  1. A structured timeline for repairs with clear and realistic repair deliverables for days 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-180, prioritizing the most emergent issues at each property; and 
  1. Rebuilding major facilities and renovating fire-damaged units from 6-24 months. 

 As a result of the lawsuit Attorney General Rokita filed against the Lakeside Defendants, the lender took notice and filed a foreclosure action seeking to have the property placed into receivership pending the final outcome of the lawsuits.  

 Were it not for the actions of the Attorney General and the persistence of community advocates and tenants who assisted the investigation, it is likely that the residents of Lakeside Pointe and Fox Club Apartments would remain with no path for improvement. This settlement provides hope for good things to come for these residents.   

 Tenants of the following properties who have experienced problems during the course of their lease are encouraged to file a consumer complaint at www.indianaconsumer.com:     

 Berkley Commons – 8201 Madison Ave., Indianapolis IN 46227 

  • Capital Place Apartments – 4100 Continental Drive, Indianapolis IN 46227 
  • Rockshire Apartments at Covington Square – 115 S. High School Road, Indianapolis IN 46241
