Aces earn series win with 7-5 victory over Spartans

0
EVANSVILLE – Taking an early lead and using timely hitting to hold on to it late, the University of Evansville baseball team secured a series win over Michigan State with a 7-5 win over the Spartans on Saturday afternoon at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
“Really proud of our club. Nick Smith was outstanding throughout and our offense got out in front with some runs early,” said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll on the win. “The top four guys in our lineup had two hits a piece and delivered some important RBI hits. I know (Jakob) Meyer made it interesting but he always makes a sequence of pitches when needed. I’m excited to get the field tomorrow.”

The win earns Evansville’s first series win over a Big Ten opponent since taking two of three games from Iowa during the 2019 campaign. Much like Friday night, a dominant effort on the mound helped fuel the Aces early success in the contest. Sophomore Nick Smith went seven innings in the win, allowing seven hits and three runs, while striking-out three and walking just one. All of the damage to Smith’s line was done in the seventh after the Boonville, Ind. native had pitched six shutout innings.

At the plate, the top of the lineup was what powered Evansville with one through six in the order all recording at least a hit and five of the six recording two on the afternoon. First baseman Tanner Craig and third baseman Brent Widder each recorded two RBI a piece, helping Evansville to the win.

Like the series opener, the Aces opened the scoring in the first inning as Widder mashed a single up the middle, scoring Craig to earn an early 1-0 advantage for UE. Another run came across in the third, again generated by Widder, who’s single through the left side scored Mark Shallenberger.

An inning later, it was Craig who delivered the run support, ripping a double down the left field line, which brought Eric Roberts home and lifted Evansville to a 3-0 lead.

The power has been on display for Evan Berkey over the last two weeks and the La Quinta, Calif. native did it again to jumpstart the offense in the fifth. Berkey smashed his sixth homer of the season, driving it down the left field line and out of the park for a 4-0 UE lead. The home run gave Berkey homers in back-to-back games and was his fourth in the last six games. Later in the fifth, Roberts laid down a picture perfect bunt, reaching safely at first and allowing Danny Borgstrom to cross home as the Aces took a 5-0 lead.

Michigan State would mount a comeback, scoring three in the seventh, but Evansville had an answer in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI sacrifice fly from Craig and an RBI base knock from Simon Scherry that regenerated a 7-3 lead for Evansville.

In the bottom of the ninth, the Spartans threatened, scoring a pair of runs to get within two with two outs. After allowing the two runs, Meyer settled in and fired three-straight strikes to end the contest and capture a 7-5 win for the Aces.

Evansville and Michigan State close their weekend series on Sunday with first pitch at 1 PM at German American Bank Field at Charles Braun Stadium in Evansville.

Local lawmakers: Vanderburgh County Rejoins $26B Opioid Settlement Thanks To New Law

 STATEHOUSE (March 29, 2022) – With a new law supported by State Reps. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville), Vanderburgh County is rejoining the $26 billion national settlement with drug manufacturer Johnson & Johnson and three major drug distributors. Evansville could follow.

Indiana joined a multistate lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, and drug distributors Cardinal Health, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen over their roles in the opioid epidemic, which forced communities to spend millions to mitigate the crisis. While the lawsuit included all of Indiana’s communities, about 11% of eligible cities, counties and towns opted out in order to initiate their own lawsuit, including Vanderburgh County and Evansville. They unanimously supported new law paved the way for Vanderburgh County to rejoin the multistate settlement and receive a portion of the state’s master settlement estimated to be about $500 million.

“Additional funding will make it possible to invest in both treating addiction and cracking down on criminals,” McNamara said. “It’s great to see our county rejoin this settlement and I look forward to them using these dollars to address the effects of the drug crisis.”

Settlement funds will go toward opioid-related programming, fighting the drug crisis, supporting local law enforcement and drug task forces, and bolstering treatment and preventative care. According to O’Brien, communities that do not opt-in to the settlement stand to lose nearly $238 million that could otherwise be invested in local drug addiction and recovery programs, and public safety. Under the new law, remaining communities interested in rejoining the settlement must notify the Indiana Attorney General’s Office by July 15.

“There isn’t a community in Indiana that hasn’t been touched by the opioid epidemic,” O’Brien said. “It’s heartbreaking to see the damage it can cause to families and there’s always more we can do to provide hope to struggling Hoosiers. Additional treatment options can help change lives and keep our communities safe.”

With the defendants expected to start releasing funds to a national administrator on April 2, and money expected to start flowing to state and local governments in the second quarter of 2022, O’Brien said the new law also establishes a fair and equitable settlement structure.

The $26 billion multistate settlement stems from a lawsuit with more than 4,000 claims from state and local governments throughout the country. Now three years in the making, 52 states and territories signed onto the settlement. All four companies that are part of the settlement have denied wrongdoing.

69 Farming Families Honored With Hoosier Homestead Award

0

INDIANAPOLIS (April 1, 2022) — At the Indiana Statehouse, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) Director Bruce Kettler presented 69 families with a Hoosier Homestead Award in recognition of their commitment to Indiana agriculture.

“I always look forward to engaging with Indiana’s historic farming families during the Hoosier Homestead Award ceremonies,” Crouch said. “The longstanding values, dedication and resiliency of these families will ensure their farm and family’s legacy live on for many generations.”

To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of more than 20 acres. If less than 20 acres, the farm must produce more than $1,000 of agricultural products per year. Indiana farms may qualify for three honors: Centennial Award for 100 years of ownership, Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years of ownership and the Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership.

Today, the department awarded three farms for bicentennial ownership. They are the Williams farm from Madison County (est. 1822), the Hartman farm from Parke County (est. 1822) and the Arnold farm from Rush County (est. 1821). 

Since the program’s inception in 1976, nearly 6,000 families have received the Hoosier Homestead Award. Many past awardees can be identified by the sign proudly displayed in front of the family farm or field.

“It is hard to put into words the value these farming families have provided to their communities, our state and the Indiana agricultural industry since the formation of their farms,” Kettler said. “It is my utmost pleasure to honor these longstanding families for their dedication to providing the feed, food and fuel necessary to sustain our state.”

Senator Braun: “The Radical Left Is Running The White House”

0

WASHINGTON — Senator Mike Braun released the following statement on President Biden’s decision to end Title 42, the policy that allows the U.S. to quickly expel migrants at the southern border.

“By ending Title 42, President Biden is welcoming hundreds of thousands more illegal immigrants to enter the US on top of the millions already crossing. His staff has said they know this will cause an ‘influx’ yet are still doing it. The radical left is running the White House.” – Senator Mike Braun

Border Patrol agents have voiced their concern that they are unprepared for the “surge on top of a surge” that the White House’s decision will create at the border.

Anti-border security political activists have been pressuring the White House to end Title 42. Several Democrats, including Senator Joe Manchin and Senator Maggie Hassan, have called upon the White House not to end Title 42.

White House Director of Communications Kate Bedingfield has confirmed that the White House is aware that their ending of Title 42 would result in an “influx of people at the border.”

There have been 805,157 encounters with migrants at the border less than 6 months into FY 2022, as compared to 405,036 encounters with migrants in the entire FY2020.

The Department of Homeland Security has estimated the number of migrants encountered daily at the border could swell to 18,000, up from 7,000 per day now.

In 2019, President Obama’s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said that 1,000 border crossings a day is a “crisis” and that he could not imagine what 4,000 per day would look like: “I know that a thousand overwhelms the system. I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like, so we are truly in a crisis” Johnson said in that 2019 interview.

Attorney General Todd Rokita Provides Guidance To School Leaders On COVID Liability

0

In response to a state lawmaker’s inquiry, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita today released an official advisory opinion indicating that generally, schools are not liable for damages related to COVID-19.

“With so much discussion across our state and our country about the appropriate response to COVID, this opinion provides another consideration for school decision-makers in determining the best policies for our greatest asset, our children,” said Attorney General Rokita. “Like the Parents’ Bill of Rights, this opinion was issued to provide a roadmap for school administrators, parents, and taxpayers on their legal rights regarding our children’s education.”

Attorney General Rokita produced the advisory opinion in response to a request from Rep. David Abbott, R-Rome City.

“Our students, families and schools overcame many challenges brought on by the pandemic, and we continue to see its significant effects on learning loss and issues beyond academics. We know that the classroom is where students have the best opportunity to succeed. That’s why kids need to be in school – and have a return to normalcy,” said Rep. Abbott. “Our local schools should be able to make decisions that put the needs of our students first whether that’s ending mask mandates or contact tracing. I appreciate the attorney general weighing in on this important issue, and his support of Hoosier students.”

Indiana kicks off Child Abuse Prevention Month

0

INDIANAPOLIS (April 1, 2022) – The Indiana Department of Child Services, in collaboration with The Villages, honored the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month with a virtual event featuring Indiana Gov. Eric J. Holcomb, DCS Director Terry Stigdon, The Villages CEO/President Shannon Schumacher and more.

“Our partners, providers, hospitals and schools – along with each of you – play such a vital role in keeping children safe, healthy and happy,” Gov. Holcomb stated.

Indiana is a mandatory reporting state, which means anyone who suspects a child has been neglected or abused must – by state law – make a report.

“Wearing blue or carrying and planting pinwheels and posting them on social media will raise awareness, but in and of themselves won’t stop harm from happening to children,” Stigdon said. “We stop it by taking action.”

“Child abuse is preventable,” Schumacher agreed, “but it takes actions at many levels.”
