Big inning dooms Otters in road trip opener

0

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – One big inning led to the downfall of the Evansville Otters tonight in the series opener against the Schaumburg Boomers, with a final score of 8-4 at Wintrust Field.

Chasing a playoff spot, the Boomers (48-43) brought hot bats to the plate early and went after the Otters’ (41-51) pitching staff.

After Schaumburg scored a man in the first inning, a one-hour and 14 minute rain delay occurred in the away second. Returning from the break, the Boomers added seven more in the home half of the frame to bust the game open. It was highlighted by a grand slam by former Otter Anthony Calarco.

Trailing 8-0, Evansville jumped on the board in the third with a Pavin Parks RBI single. They added another pair in the sixth inning from Giovanni DiGiacomo’s two-RBI base hit to center field.

The final Otters run of the night was tallied in the eighth inning on a David Mendham sacrifice fly. Closing out their offensive display, the Boomers answered right back with another two runs.

Taking the loss as the starter, Chip Korbacher (1-1) went just one inning allowing six of the 10 runs. Ryan Wiltse pitched in four innings out of the pen, allowing two men to score, before Jon Beymer gave up the rest of the runs in three innings. For the Boomers, Aaron Glickstein (5-5) took the win, as he tossed four and two-third innings of two-run ball.

Delvin Zinn and Logan Brown each had 2-for-5 nights to lead the offense. The club outslugged Schaumburg nine hits to eight.

Evansville will look to even the series tomorrow and play spoiler to a Boomers team that just jumped into a playoff spot with tonight’s win. The Wednesday affair will begin at 6:30 p.m. CT. Coverage is available on the Otters Digital Network and FloBaseball.

United Senator Senator Mike Braun To Keynote CCO Annual Awards Luncheon On September 20, 2024

AUGUST 27, 2024

United States Senator Mike Braun will be the keynote speaker at the City-County Observer Community Service Awards Luncheon on September 20 at Bally’s in Evansville.

Braun grew up in Jasper, married his high school sweetheart, Maureen, and built a successful business that employs 1500 hundred of people nationally.

Under Braun’s leadership, Myer Distributing has become one of the industry leaders in auto parts distribution, and the company has averaged 22 percent growth since 2009. Throughout the growth of the business, Braun has insisted on keeping the headquarters in his hometown.

Before his successful run for the United States Senate in 2018, Braun served on the local school board and served as a State Representative. He is known as an advocate for conservative values. After graduating from Harvard, Braun moved back to Indiana and joined his father’s business manufacturing truck bodies for farmers. When the economy of the mid-1980s hit farmers hard and his father’s business nearly went under, Braun steered the business in the more lucrative direction of selling truck accessories.

The business subsequently grew from 15 employees to more than 300.[ In 1986, Braun and Daryl Rauscher acquired Meyer Body Inc., a manufacturer of truck bodies and distributor of truck parts and equipment.[Braun fully acquired the company in 1995 and renamed it Meyer Distributing in 1999. Braun is its president and CEO.[]In 2018, Braun’s personal finance disclosure listed assets worth between $35 million and $96 million.

On January 3, 2019, Braun was sworn in as the junior United States senator from Indiana by Vice President Mike Pence.

In May 2019, Braun was one of eight senators who voted against a $19.1 billion emergency aid package for states and territories that endured hurricanes, floods, and fires. Braun said the disaster assistance process was “just another path for runaway spending on unrelated projects.” Despite his opposition, the package was enacted with bipartisan support and President Trump’s approval.[22]

Braun supported Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from northern Syria in October 2019. As a result, in that month, Turkey launched a military offensive against the American-allied Kurds in that area. After that, Braun called Trump “smart”; questioned why the U.S. should “be in the crossfire” between Turkey and the Kurds; and called the idea that ISIS would recover strength as a result of the conflict “an assumption”.[24]

In December 2019, Braun said that the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump had been a “disaster for Democrat

For the 118th United States Congress, Braun was named to four Senate committees:

The Dominion Mixed-Use Development to Rise in Western Warrick County

AUGUST 28, 2024

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (August 27, 2024) – The Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP), in collaboration with the Southwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA), is pleased to announce the approval of a matching grant from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) for The Dominion, a new mixed-use development at the intersection of State Road 66 and Grimm Road. This project, the first in the Evansville Region to receive funding from the READI 2.0 program, will feature 150 market-rate apartments, a five-story commercial building with ground-floor retail and dining, and a public plaza designed for community activities.

 “Indiana, in partnership with our regions statewide, is making unprecedented investments in our local communities to improve the lives of Hoosiers today and tomorrow,” said Gov. Holcomb. “In Southwest Indiana, READI is creating new, centrally located community destinations that add modern opportunities to live, work, study, play and stay. I’m confident the impacts of The Dominion and of READI 1.0 and 2.0 will create lasting positive changes in Warrick County, making southwest Indiana a premier high-quality of place for business, talent and families to grow for generations to come.”

Located along the Warrick Wellness Trail and near the upcoming Ohio Township Park, The Dominion will further enhance the area’s growth and accessibility to recreational spaces.

“The Dominion builds on the momentum started with Ohio Township Park, a READI 1.0 project, and the investment Warrick County has made in the Wellness Trail,” said RDA President Beth McFadin Higgins. “This development will connect new residents to employment opportunities, recreational amenities, shopping, and dining.”

Phase one of The Dominion will include:

  • 150 contemporary high-amenity market-rate apartments.
  • A five-story commercial building with ground-floor restaurant and retail spaces.
  • An outdoor community area linked to the Warrick Wellness Trail, offering a space for events and activities.

Architectural and engineering work will begin this autumn. Construction of phase one is scheduled to begin in September 2025, with completion in summer, 2027.  The $71.5 million live-work-play development is primarily funded by private developer contributions, with additional support from a $5 million READI 2.0 grant and $8.46 million in TIF support from Warrick County. Phase two of the project will bring additional residential units, a hotel, and more restaurant and retail spaces.

“Southwestern Indiana is eager for a live-work-play mixed-use development that brings a big-city vibe,” said Scion Real Estate Development Managing Partner Philip Rawley. “With its prime location near Interstate 69 and connectivity to the entire region, The Dominion aligns with Warrick County’s growth strategy and will attract both residents and businesses.”

“This investment will enhance the quality of place and opportunity throughout our region, especially with its high-quality, contemporary design,” said Josh Armstrong, Chief Economic Development Officer at E-REP. “I expect the available homes and commercial spaces to lease up quickly, and I look forward to Scion Real Estate announcing phase two of The Dominion shortly.”

Gov. Holcomb to foster deeper global partnerships in Slovakia, Italy
Indiana targets growth in defense, mobility, and racing in partnership with the National Guard and economic development organizations

AUGUST 28, 2024

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric J. Holcomb will depart on an international trip to Slovakia and Italy this week to further Indiana’s international relationships, cultivating defense and economic development opportunities in Europe.

“Indiana and Slovakia have a three-decade-long partnership that has only strengthened over the last mission-driven eight years,” Gov. Holcomb said. “I look forward to building upon our shared priorities in defense and honoring the sacred anniversary of when the Slovaks regained their freedom. As we travel on to Italy, we will likewise build upon Indiana’s front-row seat in the growth and innovation in the future of motorsports and life sciences.”

  1. SLOVAKIA

Gov. Holcomb will travel to Slovakia tomorrow, Aug. 27, with Indiana Adjutant General Major General Dale Lyles to meet with Slovak government leaders and to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the 1944 Slovak National Uprising during World War II. The governor and adjutant general will attend the anniversary ceremonies in Banska Bystrica and participate in a wreath-laying ceremony. They will also visit with Hoosier soldiers and airmen representing the U.S. and Indiana in Slovakia.

“The Indiana National Guard and Slovak Republic’s purposeful and productive military partnership is three decades strong,” said Maj. Gen. Dale Lyles, the adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard. “Commemorating the 80th anniversary of one of Slovakia’s proudest moments alongside Gov. Holcomb is meaningful to the Hoosier soldiers and airmen representing our nation and state in Slovakia and demonstrates the enduring bond Indiana and Slovakia share.”

This marks Gov. Holcomb’s third visit to Slovakia, following economic development- and defense-focused trips in 2018 and 2022. The U.S. and Slovakia are NATO allies, and the Indiana National Guard shares a strong 30-year partnership with Slovakia through joint military training and security cooperation. In July 2024, the Indiana National Guard delivered F-16 fighter aircraft purchased by Slovakia.

Indiana and Slovakia also share a growing trade relationship, exchanging more than $1.14 million worth of goods between the two regions in 2023. Slovakia also hosts business facilities of three Hoosier companies: Berry Global Group, Eli Lilly & Company and Green Cubes Technology.

ITALY

On Saturday, Aug. 31, Gov. Holcomb will travel from Slovakia to Italy, joining representatives of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) to foster business, entrepreneurship, and motorsports partnerships between Indiana and Lombardy, Italy.

In Milan, the delegation will attend the 2024 Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio d’Italia race at the Autodromo Nationale Monza on Sep. 1, furthering opportunities to grow Indiana’s global racing leadership. Gov. Holcomb will meet with industry leaders, including representatives of Arrow McLaren Racing, Prema Racing, and Sparco.

Following the events focused on racing, the governor will meet with government officials, including U.S. Consul General to Milan Douglass Benning and Lombardy Region President Attilio Fontana, to discuss Indiana’s strong ties with Italy’s Lombardy region, which is known for its strengths in the automotive sector. The governor and the delegation will also meet with Lombardy region industry partners at a roundtable discussion hosted by President Fontana and travel to the headquarters of Dallara, which is the exclusive designer and manufacturer of chassis for the Verizon IndyCar Series and operates its only facility outside Italy in Speedway, Indiana, to view its on-site manufacturing and learn about its Dallara Academy, an educational and display center dedicated to innovation and talent development.

This will be the Governor’s second trip to Italy, following an automotive and motorsports economic development trip in 2018. Indiana is home to 35 Italian business facilities, which are largely focused on racing and the mobility supply chain, including companies like Dallara, Sirmax, Coram USA and OMR Automotive. Indiana and Italy also share a strong trade partnership, importing and exporting more than $5.16 billion worth of goods in 2023, with top products including chemicals, machinery, metals, transportation equipment and computer and electronic parts.

Indiana is home to more than 1,090 foreign-owned business establishments, representing more than 40 countries and territories. In 2023, foreign-owned companies committed to investing $20.49 billion to locate or expand operations in Indiana – a 182% increase from 2022 and 71% of the IEDC’s total committed capital investment in 2023 – and create approximately 8,500 new Hoosier jobs.

This marks Gov. Holcomb’s 25th international economic development trip as governor and his third and second trips to Slovakia and Italy, respectively. The cost of the governor’s travel is being paid through private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation and the travel costs in Slovakia will be paid for by the Indiana National Guard.
