Eagles sweep Saints to maintain lead atop GLVC standings

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Softball swept a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader from visiting Maryville University Saturday afternoon, claiming a 5-1 victory in the opener before rallying for a 5-3 win in game two.

The No. 17 Screaming Eagles (34-10, 20-2 GLVC) maintain their one-game lead over No. 3 University of Indianapolis for first place in the GLVC, while they open a two-game lead in the loss column over third-place Lindenwood University.

Senior designated player Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana) had a two-run double in the bottom of the third inning of game one to put the Eagles up, 3-1. USI tacked on another run when sophomore first baseman Lexi Fair (Greenwood, Indiana) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and another when senior third baseman Mary Bean (Schaumburg, Illinois) scored after being caught in a run down.

Junior pitcher Allie Goodin (Evansville, Indiana) pushed across the Eagles’ first tally on a successful suicide squeeze play in the first, but the Saints scored in the top of the second to even the score.

Goodin (8-2) earned the complete-game victory after giving up just one run off five hits. She finished with four strikeouts and did not issue a walk in the win.

USI, once again, struck first in game two as Fair had an RBI-double to put the Eagles up, 1-0, in the third before coming around to score two batters later on an RBI-single by sophomore catcher Sammie Kihega (Greenfield, Indiana).

Maryville (15-22, 10-14 GLVC), however, answered the Eagles’ tallies with three runs in the top of the fourth inning. The Saints took advantage of an error and some timely hits to take a 3-2 lead.

The Eagles responded in the fifth with three runs as junior shortstop Jordan Rager (Fishers, Indiana) pushed a run across the board to tie the contest at 3-3. Junior second baseman Rachel Martinez (Chicago, Illinois) followed with an RBI-single to give USI the lead, while freshman pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) gave the Eagles a two-run cushion with a sacrifice fly in the next at-bat.

Newman (12-3) earned the win for the Eagles after giving up three runs, one earned, off two hits. Newman, who had nine strikeouts, retired the first nine batters she faced before giving up both hits and hitting a batter in the three-run fourth inning. She bounced back by retiring the final 10 batters she faced en route to the complete-game win.

USI finishes its 2022 regular-season home schedule Sunday at noon when it hosts Missouri University of Science & Technology for Senior Day. The Eagles will honor their six seniors—Back, Bean, pitcher Elissa Brown (Brownsburg, Indiana), outfielder Mikaela Domico (Naperville, Illinois), pitcher Maddie Duncan (Lynnville, Indiana) and catcher Courtney Schoolcraft (Crest Hill, Illinois)—following Sunday’s games.

The Miners (21-23, 9-13 GLVC) are coming off a pair of losses to UIndy Saturday in Indianapolis.

Notes:

Smith throws complete game shutout, offense stays hot in 14-0 win

0
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Bouncing back from a tough extra innings loss on Friday night, the University of Evansville baseball team got a dominant performance on the mound from starter Nick Smith and the offense smashed 10 hits to capture a 14-0 run-rule victory over Indiana State in seven innings at Bob Warn Field in Terre Haute, Ind.
“Great bounce back win after last night. Proud of how we came to the park today with energy and focus,” said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. “We had some big two-out RBI early in the game and four homers throughout to get us the win. Nick Smith was outstanding throwing a shutout and 7 K’s against a very good offense.”

Going the distance on the mound, Smith threw the first complete game of his young collegiate career, stifling a hot Sycamore offense, allowing just two hits in a scoreless seven innings of work. Smith’s seven punchouts mark back-to-back games with seven Ks and his fourth-straight win on the mound.

At the plate, the bats exploded for 14 runs with six Aces recording a hit on the day, including a three hit day for catcher Brendan Hord and a five-RBI, two homer outing for Brent Widder. The Aces launched three home runs on the day, two coming from Widder and another smashed by shortstop Simon Scherry.

Evansville jumped on top of Indiana State early in the contest with Widder going up top for a two-run blast in the top of the first to hand UE a 2-0 advantage. With Smith holding the Sycamores at bay, the Aces pushed home a single run in the fourth on a solo shot from Scherry before exploding for 11 combined runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings.

In the seventh, Indiana State got the leadoff runner on, but Smith shut down any thoughts the Sycamores might have of a rally, inducing back-to-back fly-outs and then getting a strikeout to end the contest.

Evansville and Indiana State will meet for the series-decider on Sunday with a new start time of 11 AM (CT0 at Bob Warn Field in Terre Haute, Ind.

USI finishes 13th out of 13 teams

WATERLOO, Ill.— University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf withdrew from the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship tournament Saturday at the Annbriar Golf Course after not having enough individual competitors through round two. The Screaming Eagles claim 13th place out of the 13 teams and 63 individuals.

USI shot a 347 in round one of the tournament before withdrawing in round two as a team. Sophomore Katelyn Sayyalinh (Rockford, Illinois) was impressive in round one after carding an 80 (+8) to sink herself in the top-10. Sayyalinh ended up withdrawing in round two before the Eagles withdrew as a team. No USI golfers competed in round three.

University of Indianapolis, Lindenwood University, University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Drury University were the top-four teams respectively. They will compete in the semi-finals and championship Sunday. Indianapolis’ Cathi Graf led all golfers after shooting a 223 (+7) in three rounds.

UE looks to take the series on Sunday

 PEORIA, Ill. – After opening the day with a 10-1 loss, the University of Evansville softball team regrouped in a big way to split Saturday’s doubleheader with a 7-3 win over Bradley in game two at Petersen Hotels Field.

 

Game One – Bradley 10, UE 1

A 6-run first inning lifted Bradley to a 10-1 win in Saturday’s opener.  Keeler van Breusegen and Jordy van def Werf each recorded 2-RBI hits in the inning.  The Braves added a single run in the second and three more in the third to make it a 10-0 contest.

Each of the three hits for the Purple Aces came consecutively in the fourth inning.  With one out, Mackenzie McFeron tripled before scoring on a single by Marah Wood.  Jenna Lis also added a single in the frame.  From there, the Braves remained in control to finish with the 10-1 win.  Grace French picked up the win for the Braves while Izzy Vetter took the loss.

Game Two – UE 7, Bradley 3

After scoring just one run in the opening contest, Evansville stormed out to a 3-0 lead before an out was even recorded in the first.  Mackenzie McFeron led the game off with a single while Alexa Davis followed with a walk.  Marah Wood tripled off of the right field wall to score McFeron and Davis.  Alyssa Barela added a sacrifice bunt to solidify a 3-0 UE lead in the opening frame.

Single runs in the second and third got the Braves within one run before the Aces broke it open in a big way in the fourth.  UE plated four runs, all with two outs, to make it a 7-2 game.  Alexa Davis hit a bases-clearing triple before stealing home to cap off the inning.  The Braves tacked on a run in the sixth, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit and UE wrapped up its 22nd win of the year.

Evansville had six hits from six different players in the contest.  Davis had three RBI while Wood had two.  McFeron and Davis each scored twice.  Sydney Weatherford won her 7th game of the season.  She gave up three runs on nine hits in the complete game.  Just one of the three runs was earned.

The rubber match in the series is set for Sunday afternoon at 12 p.m

Tom McDermott, Destiny Wells, Kaitlin Moore, Indiana NORML to Conclude Statewide Cannabis Tour in Terre Haute and Evansville

(INDems Call on Indiana to Legalize Marijuana, Opportunity to Create a Better Future for Indiana’s Economy and Hoosier Families)

INDIANAPOLIS – On Monday, Tom McDermott (Mayor of Hammond, U.S. Senate Candidate), Destiny Wells(Candidate for Secretary of State), Kaitlin Moore (Evansville City Councilor – At-Large), and Jason Straw(Chairman, Indiana NORML) will conclude its statewide press tour calling on Indiana’s political leaders to legalize recreational cannabis across the state. The four-day, seven-stop tour will highlight why Indiana and Hoosiers would benefit from this win-win policy idea.

Evansville

WHO: Tom McDermott (Mayor of Hammond, U.S. Senate Candidate)

 Destiny Wells (Candidate for Secretary of State)

Jason Straw (Chairman, Indiana NORML)

Kaitlin Moore (Evansville City Councilor-At-Large)

WHAT: Statewide Cannabis Tour, Call for Indiana to Legalize Recreational  Marijuana

WHEN: 3:00 PM, Monday, April 25, 2022

WHERE: Vanderburgh County Democratic Party Headquarters

220 NW 4th St, Evansville, IN 47708

Legal cannabis will transform the state’s economy and create job opportunities for farmers. Also, it’s an idea that more than 80-percent of voters support in some form. It’s a shame Republicans at the statehouse and in Congress said “NO” to this opportunity during the 2022 legislative session. In fact, their opposition illustrates how they have no plan for Indiana’s future, just partisanship.

“We have seen the impact that recreational and medicinal cannabis use has made on the states around us, and not only are Hoosiers contributing to neighboring states’ economies, but Indiana is also now on the verge of losing out altogether,” said Mike Schmuhl, Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party. “It’s unfortunate to see Indiana Republicans have no plan on cannabis, and instead, see them oppose this common-sense policy due to partisanship. Democrats have taken the lead on this effort because it’s a win-win for the state’s economy and for Hoosiers altogether. Legalizing cannabis will also fulfill Democrats’ consistent promise of creating a better future for our families.”

 

Protecting Free Speech At Indiana Colleges

Protecting Fee Speech At Indiana Colleges 

In Indiana, we are taking a stand and protecting the First Amendment. 

A new, unanimously supported law protects free speech at public colleges and universities throughout the state, and prevents free speech zones from popping up on campuses. These zones are established by administrators and confine free speech to designated areas – often in remote locations – where students are then allowed to speak, protest or advocate for a cause. 

The law also prevents colleges from discriminating against and denying benefits to student groups on the basis of religion, political affiliation or ideology, and sets clear guidelines for Indiana colleges and universities to ensure free speech is permitted.
Free speech must be protected, including in places of higher learning where there is often an abundance of different opinions and ideologies. This is an important step in providing clear guidance to higher education institutions in our state and in preventing infringements on the First Amendment right protecting speech in public areas.
