The Evansville Otters Picked Up Seventh Win In A Row

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters picked up their seventh win in a row and their second consecutive sweep Sunday, defeating the Windy City ThunderBolts 8-6 at Bosse Field.

The scoring started in the bottom of the second inning, as Evansville received offense from the bottom of the lineup in the form of a two-RBI hit from Andrew Penner.

The Otters added another pair of runs in the bottom of the third on an RBI hit by J.R. Davis and a sac fly off the bat of Riley Krane.

Windy City’s offense came alive to answer Evansville’s early offense.

The ThunderBolts scored three unanswered runs between the fourth and fifth innings, including two singles and a home run.

The Otters countered right back in the bottom of the fifth, receiving two more RBIs by Andrew Penner and a solo home run to centerfield by Justin Felix.

Evansville starter Polo Portela had an 8-3 lead heading into the sixth, in which he pitched a scoreless frame.

Portela earned his second win, going six innings deep and allowing three runs with three strikeouts.

Evansville’s Samson Abernathy and Taylor Wright locked down the seventh and eighth.

Windy City would show a little fight in the ninth inning, scoring three runs, but Otters reliever Logan Sawyer held firm on the mound to finish out the win 8-6.

The ThunderBolts’ Kenny Mathews received the loss, allowing eight runs – two earned – on 11 hits in five innings.

The Otters will carry their seven-game win streak on the road this week to Joliet, Ill. to take on the Slammers. The first pitch for the series opener Tuesday is at 7:05 p.m. from DuPage Medical Group Field.

Broadcast coverage of the Otters on the road can be heard on the Otters Digital Network on the Evansville Otters’ YouTube channel. Play-by-play voice Ryan Brown will be on the call.

Evansville will return home Tuesday, June 29 at 6:35 p.m. for Taco Tuesday, featuring tacos, nachos, discounted Modelo and Corona, and frozen margaritas.

Indiana Grown Celebrates Local Farmers

Indiana Grown Celebrates Local Farmers, Business
Owners At Fourth Monumental Marketplace


INDIANAPOLIS (June 18, 2021) — Indiana Grown’s annual Monumental Marketplace event brings Hoosiers together for the fourth time to showcase Indiana agriculture. More than 75 vendors from around the state traveled to downtown Indianapolis to offer shoppers their locally made goods.

“I look forward to this event each year and was delighted we were able to have it again this summer,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. “Between the farmers, food vendors, artisans, and makers this event has something for everyone to enjoy. I look forward to participating in the fifth annual Monumental Marketplace next year.”

Located on historic Monument Circle, Monumental Marketplace was free to attend and open to all. With a variety of food, beverages, handmade items, plants, and more, there was something for everyone. A list of this vendor in attendance can be found here.

“We have members in every county in Indiana with close to 1800 members right now,” said Indiana Grown Program Director Heather Tallman. “It is so inspiring to see many of our members travel here to celebrate Indiana agriculture with us on this day and to interact with consumers they might not have otherwise met. This event is important to our members and staff alike.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was canceled in 2020. A new partnership with Downtown Indy, Inc. provided Indiana Grown staff with event-planning expertise to ensure Monumental Marketplace returned safely and better than ever.

“We are thrilled to partner with Indiana Grown for this great use of Monument Circle,” said Bob Schultz, senior vice president of Downtown Indy, Inc. “The vendors and the audience the program attracts fall squarely in line with our #Backdowntown campaign. We were happy to welcome them all.”

With help from Downtown Indy, Inc. an exciting addition to the event this year was a designated space allowing guests 21 and over to enjoy full pours and samples of Indiana-based wine, spirits, and beer.

Attendees of all ages were encouraged to leave their lunch at home and come prepared to feast on their favorite foods, from breaded pork tenderloin and grilled cheese to ice cream and fudge.

“We are proud to host this family-friendly event each year on Monument Circle,” said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. “It was a pleasure to see all the vendors and taste some treats, I encourage Hoosiers to look for these vendors again at the Indiana Grown Marketplace at the Indiana State Fair in August.”

Indiana Grown helps consumers identify products that are packaged, raised, grown or processed in Indiana. Supporting local farms and businesses of all sizes and types helps build sustainable communities and keeps unique, fresh products on the market.

Otters continue streak on Salute to the Negro Leagues Night

0

The Evansville Otters continued their winning ways Saturday night by picking up their sixth victory in a row, as they took the second game of a weekend series with the Windy City ThunderBolts by a final score of 7-1 on Salute to the Negro Leagues Night.

Both settled in early while wearing their replica flannel Negro Leagues team uniforms, going the first two innings scoreless.

The ThunderBolts scored the first run of the ballgame in the top of the third inning, when Brynn Martinez hit a 1-3 comebacker to score Rob Calabrese from third.

The Otters answered right back in the bottom half of that inning, tying the game on a sac fly to left field from Andy DeJesus, scoring Cristopher Pujols, who started the inning with a double off the wall.

The Otters took the lead in the bottom of the fourth on a costly fielding error committed by the ThunderBolts that allowed Elijah MacNamee to score from third on an infield pop-up with two outs.

Riley Krane would extend the Otters’ lead in the top of the fifth with a two-out, two-run, opposite field home run to left.

The Otters scored three more runs in the bottom of the seventh, after J.R. Davis singled home Josh Henderson from third, Miles Gordon scored on a wild pitch, and Riley Krane drove in his third RBI of the game with a sac fly to left.

In the eighth, Tyler Spring came on to pitch a 1-2-3 inning in relief of University of Southern Indiana graduate Austin Gossmann, who had allowed only one run to score over seven strong innings of work, striking out seven without walking a batter in his first professional start.

Spring would go on to extend his scoreless appearance streak to 11 games and 16 innings to begin the season.

The win would be Gossmann’s second of the season. Tyler Thornton took the loss, his second.

The Otters will look to extend their winning streak to seven games Sunday night, as they welcome four-legged fans to the ballpark in the second Dog Days of Summer this year at Bosse Field. First pitch will be at 5:05 p.m, with a 4:50 p.m. pregame show on Frontier League LiveTV.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

The History of Fathers Day

Unlike Mother’s Day, which has pretty somber origins, Father’s Day has relatively light roots—and was actually created by a woman.

According to History.com, back in 1909, a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, “tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents.” She went around to local businesses to gather support for her idea, and on June 19, 1910, the state of Washington celebrated the first-ever Father’s Day.

State Directs $200M For Ohio River Crossing

0

To improve safety and encourage growth, Indiana is going the extra mile by investing $200 million to complete the I-69 Ohio River Crossing project. The project includes an interchange with the existing I-69 and Veterans Memorial Parkway, as well as a new, 1.5-mile portion of I-69 approaching the river.

Since 2016, Indiana and Kentucky worked to develop the I-69 Ohio River Crossing near Evansville. The Indiana Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will continue to partner on this project to see it through to completion.

Once fully connected, I-69 will be a continuous interstate from the U.S.-Canada border near Port Huron, Michigan, to the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. These investments will expand our transportation network and attract more businesses to the area, which will help create jobs and boost the local economy. Learn More Construction on the Ohio River Crossing project is set to begin in 2024. Click here for more information.
