0

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball rallied in the final innings before falling to #25 Western Kentucky University, 13-9, Tuesday afternoon at Nick Denes Field in Bowling Green, Kentucky. USI, which saw its season-best six-game winning streak come to an end, is 16-16 overall, while WKU goes to 28-5.
 
USI fell behind early with WKU taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. The Hilltoppers sealed the victory three innings later when they scored 11 times in the fourth to lead, 12-0.
 
The Eagles began to chip away at the deficit, scoring four times in the top of the sixth to trail 12-4. USI junior designated hitter Cole Kitchens highlighted the four-run frame with a three-run blast to left. The home run was Kitchens’ team-best fifth of the season.
 
USI closed the gap further in the seventh, scoring three times to trail, 12-7. USI senior leftfielder BJ Banyon started the scoring by crossing the plate on a balk, while junior third baseman Patrick McLellan doubled in junior shortstop Clayton Slack and junior catcher Charlie Marisca with the sixth and seventh runs, respectively.
 
After WKU responded with a tally to push the lead back to six, 13-7, USI rallied for the third straight inning with two more runs on an RBI walk by senior centerfielder Khi Holiday and an RBI single by Kitchens to close the margin to 13-9.
 
The eventual 13-9 final score would be as close as the Eagles could get after going down in order in the ninth inning.
 
Offensively, Kitchens finished the day two for five with four RBIs and a home run, while McLellan went two-for-five with a pair of RBIs. Marisca also had a pair of hits in the loss. 
 
USI sophomore right-hander Brady Watts started and got the loss for the Eagles. Watts (0-1) allowed a run on one hit while striking out one in two innings of work.
 
Up Next for the Eagles:

The Screaming Eagles continue the nine-game road swing this weekend in OVC play when they visit Tennessee Tech University for a three-game set April 11-13 in Cookeville, Tennessee.
 
TTU is 21-12 overall and 6-3 OVC after taking two of three from Western Illinois University last weekend. The Golden Eagles host Lipscomb University Wednesday before hosting USI. The Screaming Eagles lead the all-time series with the Golden Eagles, 4-2, after winning two of three at home last year.

The Purple Aces connected on six hits Tuesday night
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team wasn’t able to keep up with a red-hot offensive night from the Butler Bulldogs.
The Purple Aces took an early lead at German American Bank Field but didn’t hold on in a 17-5 loss to Butler. Senior infielder Cal McGinnis (Kimberly, Wis. / Bradley) was the only UE batter with multiple hits off the Bulldogs on a single in the third and fifth innings. While senior outfielder Ty Rumsey (Evansville, Ind. / North HS) stole his 20th and 21st bases of the season for the most by an Evansville runner since Eric Staments had 30 in 2012.
The Bulldogs got a walk to begin Tuesday’s contest, but the next three batters went down in order as starting pitcher Drew Fieger (Fort Mitchell, Ky. / Lincoln Trail CC) added two strikeouts.  The Aces offense led off with a single from Rumsey in the first. During the next at-bat, Rumsey stole two bases and scored the first run of the game on a throwing error from Butler’s catcher.
 UE then had its next two batters reach base with a walk and a single. A sacrifice fly after Evansville’s second single scored outfielder Charlie Longmeier (Seymour, Ind. / Seymour HS) to put the Aces up 2-0 early. The Bulldogs offense responded in the second, scoring a run on Fieger with a double and a sacrifice fly. But the senior right-hander added his third strikeout of the night to end the inning.
The second inning ended shortly after as UE went down in order. Butler soon took the lead, scoring two runs on a hit and an error in the top of the third. Evansville tied the game back up in the bottom frame as Longmeier led off with a walk. The outfielder took second on the Aces’ next at-bat on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a passed ball during UE’s third AB of the inning. McGinnis hit his first single of the night in the third, putting the base knock into left field to score Longmeier as the tying run.
After Evansville tied the game at three runs in the bottom of the third, the Bulldogs’ offense exploded for five runs in the fourth. Butler batted through its lineup in the inning with two hits and four walks to take an 8-3 lead. The Aces got a run back in the bottom of the fourth as Rumsey hit a sacrifice fly on their fourth at-bat of the inning. The sac fly scored shortstop Drew McConnell for UE’s fourth run of the game.
The Bulldogs extended their lead in the fifth with another five-run inning that went through their order. Butler centerfielder David Ayers started and ended the top of the fifth with a ground out and a fly out. In between Ayers ABs, the Bulldogs connected on four hits, a walk, and two hit-by-pitches to make it a 13-4 contest.
Evansville had its longest inning on offense in the bottom of the fifth. The Aces had seven batters come up to the plate with two hits from McGinnis and catcher Evan Waggoner (Bedford, Ind. / North Lawrence Bedford HS). UE also added two walks to score a fifth run before heading to the top of the sixth.
Butler’s defense shut down Evansville’s offense for the final two innings of the game while adding four runs in the top of the seventh. The Aces went down swinging in the bottom half of the frame to end the game at a 17-5 final. UE returns to conference action this weekend at Illinois State. Evansville’s first game in Normal is set for 6 p.m. on Friday, April 11.

Governor Braun Mandates Transparency for State-Affiliated Non-Profits, Sets Wage Growth and Job Creation as Economic Development ‘North Star’

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Mike Braun today signed an executive order to require full transparency for non-profit foundations and corporations created to assist state government agencies.

He also signed two more executive orders making changes to Indiana’s economic development approach: one to reassess the economic development ‘regions’ in the state to better capitalize on distinct regional strengths, and another to set wage growth and job creation for Hoosier workers as the ‘North Star’ of measuring success in Indiana’s economic development strategy.

Executive Order 25-43: Providing Transparency for State Government-Affiliated Foundations

“If organizations like the Indiana Economic Development Foundation were created to assist state agencies with public business, then Hoosiers need full transparency into how these non-profits operate, who funds them, and what they do with the money. Today’s executive order mandates that these organizations file financial disclosures – including those missed over the past 10 years – so Hoosiers can have full transparency and accountability.” – Governor Mike Braun

Hoosiers deserve transparency and accountability for how their state government represents them.

There are many non-profit foundations that have been created over the years to supplement state agencies, like Healthy Hoosiers Foundation, Indiana Destination Development Foundation, Indiana State Museum Foundation, and several more.

All government-affiliated non-profits need to file an annual form with the IRS (Form 990) that describes where they get their funding, how much they brought in, and how it breaks down between programs and administrative expenses. This form provides Hoosiers with important transparency into these organizations.

However, the Indiana Economic Development Foundation received an exemption from the IRS from future filings of their annual Form 990 in 2012.

State-affiliated foundations are also required to file annual reports with the state budget committee, which the Indiana Economic Development Foundation has not done since 2019.

Today’s executive order from Governor Braun directs all state-affiliated foundations to comply with mandated reporting requirements, including filing any previously missed reports from the past 10 years no later than December 31, 2025.

All state-affiliated non-profits must also file an annual IRS Form 990, even if they have previously been granted an exemption. That includes missed reports from the past 10 years.

These forms must be clearly posted on the relevant agency’s website for Hoosiers to read for themselves.

Executive Order 25-44: Prioritizing Wage Growth and Job Creation in Economic Development Initiatives

“Indiana is focusing our economic development efforts on the things that affect your family the most: raising wages and new job opportunities. More jobs, and higher pay: that’s our North Star.”  — Governor Mike Braun

This executive order will set wage growth and job creation as the ‘North Star’ for Indiana’s economic development efforts, rather than capital expenditure.

Under this executive order, Indiana will now use number of jobs and average wage of the jobs created in all project proposals and performance reports related to state-supported economic development initiatives.

Executive Order 25-45: Standardizing Workforce and Economic Development Regions in Indiana

“My administration is committed to spreading economic development efforts across the four corners of our state, and one important way we’re doing that is starting from scratch on the map of our state’s economic development regions to better reflect each area’s strengths.” — Governor Mike Braun

This executive order empowers Commerce Secretary Adams to make recommendations on the redrawing of regional economic development and workforce maps of Indiana based on the unique strengths, assets, and industries of the different areas of Indiana.

The new regional designations will represent the industry clusters, workforce capabilities, infrastructure, and natural resources that vary across Indiana.

Evansville Enhances 911 Emergency Medical Services with Addition of Innovative Nurse Navigation Program

0

Program Aims to Reduce Healthcare Costs and Provide the Right Level of Convenient Care for every 911 Caller

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (April. 8th, 2025)— The city of Evansville is the first emergency medical services (EMS) provider in the state of Indiana to take a proactive step and enhance its emergency response capabilities to better serve its residents with the launch of 911 Nurse Navigation, an innovative initiative developed in partnership with local EMS provider American Medical Response (AMR) and program pioneer Global Medical Response (GMR). This cutting-edge initiative will help ensure those who call 911 receive the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.

AMR and Evansville Fire Department joint medical director Dr. Matt Gilbert shares, “By integrating the Nurse Navigation program, we are improving access to care, reducing unnecessary emergency department visits and ambulance transports and enhancing EMS system efficiency. This initiative lowers costs for patients and allows first responders to remain available for true medical emergencies.”

How Nurse Navigation Bridges the Gap

For 911 callers with medical needs that don’t require an immediate, response, dispatchers will have a powerful new tool at their disposal: a team of trained nurse navigators who use physician protocols to screen caller and then offer an appropriate resource to meet their specific healthcare needs. This in turn reduces unnecessary ambulance dispatches and emergency room visits. Evansville’s Nurse Navigation screening system will carefully assess a caller’s situation and determine the most appropriate path forward such as:

• Schedule a same-day or next-day appointment at a federally qualified health center

• Connect callers to virtual care with a physician for real-time medical advice

• Direct callers to urgent care for treatment

• Arrange alternative transportation for those who need emergency care but not an ambulance

“Our priority is to ensure every 911 caller receives the right level of care at the right time in the most appropriate setting, ” stated Gilbert

Nurse Navigation is Transforming 911 Responses Across the US

Similar 911 Nurse Navigation programs are now in over 30 communities across 14 states, collectively benefiting more than 200,000 callers. Notably, 97% of these calls did not require an emergency ambulance response. In 2024 alone, the program saved an estimated $21 million by preventingunnecessary ambulance transports, avoidable emergency department visits, and other costly interventions.
