Vazquez Named MVP As Evansville Sweeps Opening Weekend

Aces Win All Three Matches By A 3-0 Final

 FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Averaging 5.56 kills per set in three matches, Alondra Vazquez was named the Purdue Fort Wayne Invitational MVP with the University of Evansville volleyball team completing a perfect weekend with a 3-0 win over Purdue Fort Wayne on Saturday morning.

Making her college debut in her hometown, Taya Haffner earned a spot on the All-Tournament along with Melanie Feliciano.  Saturday’s finale saw freshman Giulia Cardona continue her excellent start, recording 20 kills while hitting .447.  She added nine digs and a service ace.  Vazquez recorded 11 kills while Feliciano totaled nine.  Haffner led UE with 14 digs and 43 assists.

SET 1 – UE 25, PFW 23

Each set was decided by two points with each team battling to the final point.  With the score knotted at 6-6, Evansville made its move, scoring five in a row to take their largest lead to that point.  The Mastodons stormed back within a point – 13-12 – before a kill by Kate Tsironis set the Purple Aces back on track.  PFW continued its fight, getting within a single tally on multiple occasions, but they could not get over the hump.  Madisyn Steele gave UE a 24-21 lead with her second kill of the set, but Purdue Fort Wayne made one final challenge.  An ace by Madison Gates made it a 24-23 game before Vazquez responded with a kill to seal the win.

SET 2 – UE 25, PFW 23

Game two was another hotly contested effort by both squads.  Trailing 7-5, UE scored five in a row to go up 10-7.  Cardona added a kill while Feliciano posted an ace.  Evansville held the advantage, going up by as many as five points at 21-16, but once again the Mastodons countered.  A 7-2 stretch tied the set at 23-23 before Tsironis came through with a kill that helped to seal a 25-23 decision and 2-0 lead.

SET 3 – UE 27, PFW 25

Purdue Fort Wayne had its top performance in the third set.  Midway through the frame, PFW broke a 13-13 tie with three in a row.  UE fought back to tie it at 18-18 before the Mastodons wrestled away a 24-23 edge.  Just when it looked like they would break through, a PFW service error tied it back up.  The Mastodons jumped back in front by a 25-24 score, but the Evansville offense had the final say.  A kill by Feliciano was followed by two in a row from Vazquez to finish the 27-25 victory and 3-0 sweep.

Next weekend, the Aces will be in Morehead, Ky. for the Eagle Challenge.

Walks, slugging effective for Otters in win

0

AUGET, Ill. – The Evansville Otters had another tough battle on the road against the Gateway Grizzlies Friday, but early walks and slugging on offense turned into an 8-7 victory for the Otters.

 

Right away in the top of the first inning, Evansville had base runners, as Gateway’s Jordan Barrett appeared to have similar control issues on the mound Friday just as he did a week ago at Bosse Field when he walked eight Otters.

 

On Friday, the first two Otters reached via the walk, and then Riley Krane scored the first run on a sac fly. Two more Otters walked, setting up a bases loaded situation for Andy DeJesus. DeJesus proceeded to single home Josh Allen and Gary Mattis, giving Evansville a 3-0 lead.

 

Following walks of their own in the bottom of the first, Gateway scored four runs to grab a 4-3 on RBI hits by Jose Rosario, Dustin Woodcock, and Justin Jones.

 

Gateway made it 5-3 in their favor in the bottom of third on an RBI double by Jay Prather.

 

The ball started rolling for Evansville in the fifth when Elijah MacNamee drew a leadoff walk. Two batters later, Jeffrey Baez went deep to opposite field to tie the game, his fourth consecutive game with a home run.

 

Later in the inning, Evansville took a 6-5 lead on a bases-loaded walk to Justin Felix.

 

In the top of the sixth, the Otters scored two important insurance runs. Back-to-back walks to MacNamee and Allen started the inning. Then Riley Krane came through clutch once again with a double into the alley that scored both MacNamee and Allen to push Evansville’s advantage to 8-5.

 

Those two runs proved vital, as in the bottom of the sixth, Gateway’s Chase Vallot launched a two-run shot to bring the Grizzlies back within one. That was all Gateway could muster though with Evansville’s bullpen locking down the game the rest of the way.

 

On the mound, Tim Holdgrafer got the win for Evansville, striking out six and allowing five runs in five innings. The Grizzlies’ Jordan Barrett took the loss, going 4.1 innings and giving up six runs with six walks and seven strikeouts. Logan Sawyer earned his 20th save of the season for the Otters, closing out the ninth.

 

Offensively, Evansville totaled 11 walks, six of which came around to score.

 

Baez tallied two hits with a pair of RBIs, Krane went three for four with two doubles and three RBIs, and DeJesus had a couple hits with two RBIs.

 

Evansville also had four stolen bases in the game.

 

Following Friday’s games, the Otters are 1.5 games ahead of the Florence Y’alls in the Frontier League West Division standings.

 

Saturday first pitch at Gateway is 6:45 p.m. Saturday will feature a battle of southpaws, as left-hander Braden Scott will take the baseball for Evansville against lefty Jesse Remington for Gateway.

Attorney General Todd Rokita Warns Hoosiers Of Hospital Data Breach

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Following a data breach this month by Eskenazi Health, Attorney General Todd Rokita is warning Hoosiers, specifically any current or former patients or employees, to watch out for suspicious activity with their accounts and personal information.  The time shortly after a breach is a prime opportunity for hackers and scammers to exploit and sell the information they have stolen.

“As with any major breach, Hoosiers should protect and monitor their personal information closely,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Our Office’s Data Privacy and Identify Theft Unit is prepared to direct consumers to data theft resources to combat further damage and prevent additional harm if they become victims of scammers and fraud.”

Attorney General Rokita and the Office of the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division offer the following tips as best practices:

  • Be wary of and on the lookout for any suspicious activity in your bank account, credit cards, and investment and retirement accounts.
  • Change the passwords on all your existing accounts. A password of at least 12 letters, numbers and symbols, with at least two capital letters, two numbers and two special characters is best.
  • Use a password manager to keep track of your passwords and use 2 factor authentication whenever it’s available.
  • You should also request copies of your credit report from all three major credit reporting agencies from https://annualcreditreport.com.  At the current time, the credit reporting agencies are permitting consumers to request a free credit report each week.
  • You should also consider freezing your credit information.  The credit freezes are free, and they will help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.

Holcomb issues statement regarding U.S. service members killed in Kabul, Afghanistan

0

INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding the deaths of 13 U.S. military members killed in a terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“Indiana grieves alongside the world on the loss of the 13 U.S. service members who put their lives on the line to protect our country. I would ask that every Hoosier keep their families and loved ones in their thoughts and prayers. As a country and as a state we need to be unified in honoring and paying our respects to the ones who paid the ultimate price. Janet and I will do our part to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.”

WHAT NOW?

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

The great Greek statesman and military leader Pericles (495 – 429 BC) said, “The best guardians of a society are leaders with the wisdom to recognize their duty and the virtue (courage) to do it.” Both elements are essential characteristics for our leaders. We may elect smart people who are not wise and good people who are not brave. But what we need are wise and virtuous leaders who fear loss of honor more than fear of losing elections.

Of course, our leaders are as human as we are. We all fall short of the ideal. It is not perfection we need from our politicians but the ability to recognize it when they have taken the wrong course and the character to modify their behavior in the face of great pressure to continue on a destructive path. If we apply these standards to America’s involvement in Afghanistan, we can see the virtue in our original reactions to the attacks of September 11, 2001. We were morally obligated to our fellow citizens who lost their lives to properly respond. Osama bin Laden was the Al-Qaeda leader who planned the 9-11 attacks. America needed to punish Bin Laden, which we did by assassinating him in Abbottabad, Pakistan, May 02, 2011. Our course of action was morally just and our direct attack on Bin Laden was measured. It took us almost 10 years to bring him to justice but we should have and we did.

Once Bin Laden was eliminated our leaders from President Obama, President Trump and President Biden should have carefully and incrementally withdrawn our military presence while we protected the Afghanis and others who helped us. We can still engage in such a process. Any timeline, whether May 01, 2021 or September 11, 2021 or any anniversary of previous attacks or any other date is simply one we choose. We need to carefully and slowly withdraw our forces. Artificial drop-dead dates for our leaving encourage the Taliban to simply wait us out; which they are doing.

It will not be a popular decision of President Biden and our other leaders to reinstall enough troops to protect Americans and those allies of America who need to immigrate. However, popularity should not be our goal, virtue should be.
