Allen returns to lineup, Otters homer twice in win

0

The Evansville Otters captured a 6-2 win over the Windy City ThunderBolts Tuesday, coming on a night where the club homered twice, and Josh Allen made his return to the lineup in an Otters uniform.

Most of the runs in the game were scored in the second inning.

Windy City scored first on a towering, two-run home run by Rob Weissheier that went over the brick wall into the parking lot at Bosse Field.

Evansville answered quickly in the home half of the second, as Jeffrey Baez blasted a moonshot of his own to lead off the inning.

Later in the inning, the Otters added two more on an RBI groundout and a sac fly, giving the Otters a 3-2 lead.

Dakota Phillips’ sac fly made it 4-2 Evansville in the bottom of the third.

The middle innings went quietly, although Josh Allen recorded a single in the fifth for his first hit back in an Otters uniform, and first since 2017.

In the bottom of the seventh, Evansville received another leadoff home run off the bat of Andy DeJesus.

The Otters tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth when Dakota Phillips singled home Baez to make it 6-2 Evansville, which held as the final score.

Offensively, Baez led the way with three hits, Phillips added two hits and two RBIs, and DeJesus finished with two RBIs as well.

On the mound, Polo Portela gave a solid effort for the Otters, getting the win after pitching seven innings with four strikeouts. Tyler Spring followed Portela with three strikeouts and earned the two-inning save.

Tyler Thornton took the loss for Windy City, allowing five runs in 6.2 innings.

On Tuesday, the Florence Y’alls were idle with an extra day off, so Evansville’s win extended the Otters’ Frontier League West Division lead to two games.

The Otters and ThunderBolts will square off once again Wednesday at 6:35 p.m., as Windy City’s left-hander Kenny Mathews will go up against Evansville’s right-hander Ryan O’Reilly. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

IT’S OFFICIAL-JUSTIN ELPERS IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE VANDERBURGH COUNTY COMMISSION

Yesterday current Republican 5th Ward City Councilman Justin Elpers formally announced that he will be a candidate for the District 2 Vanderburgh County Commission seat in front of an impressive group of family, friends, and supporters.

A number of well-wishers and supporters who attended Mr. Elpers’s campaign announcement event were extremely pleased with his remarks.

We were told by several political pundits attending this event that Mr. Elpers family, religious, and conservative values make him an attractive candidate.

When Mr. Elpers told those in attendance he’s running for District #2, Vanderburgh County Commissioner it was met with an arousing round of applause.

He said; “in the last few years, I’ve learned a lot while serving on the Evansville City Council. I always supported good public policy decisions and I shall continue doing so.”   Many times during Evansville City meetings I cast the lone descending vote because I respectfully disagreed with a proposed resolution or ordinance set forth by fellow Councilmembers”.

If elected to the Vanderburgh County Commission I shall continue to be an independent thinking representative for the taxpayers of Vanderburgh County.

He said that he has three core principles that guide him while making political decisions.

#1, God & Family:  A family that prays together stays together.

#2, Public Safety:  I will always defend our public safety.  I will ensure that they receive the proper resources to make our county safe.

#3, Fewer government regulations equals more opportunity for growth, more jobs, and a better quality of life.

Finally, he said; “I believe that my campaign committee is going to put me in the best position to win.  However, we cannot do this alone.  We need your help in the coming months to be successful in November 2022”.

PERSONAL DATA

Justin Elpers has served on Evansville City Council since 2016.  He has been a strong advocate for job growth, responsible government spending, and supporting our police department.

He is a graduate of Mater Dei High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Southern Indiana. He taught social studies for 14 years.  Eleven of those years were with the EVSC at Harrison High School.  Currently, he works for Heritage Petroleum in sales selling fuel and lubricants.

Justin and his wife Alisann have been married for fourteen years. They have five children James, Patrick, Charlie, Anni, & Zack.  They are expecting their sixth child in September.  The Elpers family attends Good Shepherd Catholic Church.

 

Evansville Otters Sign And Bring Back Infielder Josh Allen

0

The Evansville Otters have signed infielder Josh Allen to make his return to the club and at Bosse Field in 2021.

Allen previously played for the Otters from 2014-17 and has since played for the St. Paul Saints when they were a member of the American Association, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies of the New York Mets organization in 2018 at the Double-A level, and the Kane County Cougars of the American Association earlier this year.

“We are looking forward to seeing Josh back in an Otter uniform,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said.

“Hopefully, he can help us down the stretch for a playoff berth and our goal of another Frontier League championship.”

Allen, a Fort Meade, Fla. native, returns to the franchise as the all-time leader in triples (19), stolen bases (76) and hit by pitches (51).

He is second in several other career statistical categories; including games played (347), at-bats (1,222), hits (374), doubles (70), RBIs (171), runs (261) and total bases (596).

Allen is third in career home runs and walks with 38 and 191, respectively.

His best season in Evansville came in 2016 when he set a single-season franchise record with a .354 batting average in earning the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award. He also set the season record for doubles that year, finishing with 34.

With Allen, Evansville made the playoffs three times and won the 2016 Frontier League title.

A Frontier League All-Star selection in 2014, 2016 and 2017, Allen joined the Otters in 2014 after playing collegiately at the University of West Florida.

Allen was a member of St. Paul’s 2019 American Association championship squad.

Previously this year with Kane County, Allen batted .283 with 12 home runs and 45 RBIs.

The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions.

40th Annual Heritage Open Has Record Breaking Year!
On August 9th the Annual Heritage Open was held at the Evansville Country Club. This 40th consecutive year commemorated the longest-running and premier charity golf outing in the Tri-State with incredible support and record-breaking sales!
Through the support of our generous sponsors and community partners, over $233,000 was raised for Women’s Services at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville! The net proceeds from the Heritage Open will bring to life the long-awaited concept of family-friendly waiting areas and parent lounges in our new mother/baby unit. This vision, driven by our mission, will create welcoming and inviting new areas for all patients and families at our Hospital for Women and Children.
A special note of gratitude:
We appreciate all our sponsors who helped make the event a success!
