Otters lose tight 1-0 game to Y’alls
The Evansville Otters came up on the wrong end of a 1-0 pitchers’ duel Tuesday night at Bosse Field against the Florence Y’alls.
Otters starter Austin Gossmann and Y’alls pitcher Kevin Hahn set the tone early by trading three perfect innings to start the ballgame. They would each put up scoreless frames through their first five innings.
Gossmann made his only costly mistake of the evening in the top of the sixth, when he gave up an opposite field home run to Y’alls designated hitter Joe Lytle.
Gossmann would pitch into the eighth inning, until he was relieved by Justin Lewis with one out and a runner aboard.
Lewis got the final two outs of the inning after issuing a walk and hitting a batter, keeping the Y’alls lead to one.
Samson Abernathy came on to work a tricky ninth, where two walks and an error loaded the bases with nobody out. Abernathy proceeded to get the next three outs and leave all three men stranded, thanks to a strikeout and two pop outs.
Unfortunately for the Otters, Andrew McDonald came on to throw a shut-down ninth in relief of Kevin Hahn, who threw eight scoreless while allowing only two hits.
The hard-throwing right hander McDonald struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth, earning his first save of the season and pushing the Y’alls to their 19th victory of the season.
Kevin Hahn (2-1) earned his second win of the year, while Gossmann (2-1) took the hard-luck loss.
The Otters will look to even the series Wednesday night. Fans can catch a broadcast of Wednesday night’s game on Frontier League LiveTV, with a 6:20 p.m. pregame show. First pitch is at 6:35 p.m.
Wednesday is Senior Connection Wednesday, where seniors 55 and older can get general admission tickets for only $2.
Mt. Vernon Man Arrested for Resisting Law Enforcement after brief Chase
This afternoon at approximately 12:30, Sergeant Kylen Compton was patrolling SR 66 near Detroy Road when he attempted to stop the driver of a 1997 Ford F-150 for traveling east on SR 66 at 78 mph. The driver, who was later identified as Joseph Davis, 40, of Mt. Vernon, failed to stop and continued north on SR 65 reaching speeds of nearly 90 mph before turning west on #6 School Road. Davis eventually turned into a driveway in the 6000 block of #6 School Road, drove through a yard and then stopped near Neu Road where he exited his truck and fled into a wooded area. Troopers searched the area for approximately 90 minutes before they found Davis hiding in a barn loft under insulation. Davis was transported to Deaconess Midtown by an ambulance where he was treated and released for heat exhaustion. Further investigation revealed Davis had two outstanding warrants out of Vanderburgh County. Davis is currently being held without bond in the Vanderburgh County Jail.
Arrested and Charges:

Evansville Hotel Occupancy Surges
Evansville Hotel Occupancy Surges
BY JAMES T. WOOD, FCDME
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF VISIT EVANSVILLE
Some very positive news is emerging from Evansville’s hospitality industry post-pandemic. Evansville/Vanderburgh County hotels continue to see hotel occupancies rise back to pre-pandemic levels (2019).Â
The May 2021 hotel occupancy report reached 63.2 percent, back to where we were in May 2019 before the pandemic. Additionally, our hotel occupancy rate was the highest among cities Evansville compares itself to including Fort Wayne, South Bend, Indianapolis, and Owensboro, KY. This time last year, the region’s hotel occupancy rate was 29.6 percent. In the month of May, hotel occupancy figures show that Evansville’s hospitality industry is on the cusp of recovery in 2021, with a full recovery expected in 2022. Business travel is starting to return, demand for leisure travel is strong and the meetings and conventions and special events are scheduled to return. The numbers strongly indicate that we are returning to ‘business as usual’ for Evansville’s hospitality industry.
Deaconess Sports Park will host a full softball tournament schedule through October, including the Great Lakes Region Softball Tournament, which attracts over 200 girls’ softball teams from ten states. The 15U AA Ohio Valley World Series and the USA Softball Men’s and Women’s Slow Pitch National Championships are also coming to Deaconess Sports Park. We are also set to host the Indiana Archery Corporation – Mixed Northern Region Championship at Goebel Complex this July. In August we will see the return of the E’Ville Iron Street Rod’s Frog Follies at the Vanderburgh County 4H Center which is always exciting for the entire region to see these classic vehicles at local hotels, restaurants, and cruising along Evansville’s roads. At the Old National Events Plaza (ONEP) we are starting to see the return of the convention business including the 2021 INAFSM Annual Conference, Indiana Society of Association Executives Women in Associations Forum, 2021 IOGA Convention, 2021 National Beta Club, the 2021 Indiana League of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers as well as a host of other events scheduled at ONEP.
Though the pandemic made it extremely difficult for all businesses, we are very excited to be reopened and to see people venturing out and enjoying life once again, taking a family vacation, visiting friends and family members, attending a conference, taking in a ballgame, or going to a concert. Evansville has various first-class venues and entertainment options that attract visitors from around the tri-state region. Evansville’s hospitality community looks forward to providing great experiences as we are excited to welcome back our visitors once again.
