Pitchers’ duel falls Xavier’s way in series opener

Gray throws career-high eight strikeouts in Friday start
 
EVANSVILLE – In the opening game of the weekend, the University of Evansville baseball team dropped a pitchers’ duel to Xavier, 6-1, in game one of the four-game series at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium on Friday night in Evansville.

“Typical Friday night kind of baseball game. Shane Gray gave us a chance on the mound, unfortunately we just didn’t compete well enough against their starter,” said Evansville head baseball coach Wes Carroll. “(Jared) Olson overmatched our offense throughout. Big day tomorrow for 16 innings.”

The two starters for each squad were the stars of the show on the night and they brought it early. Both Xavier’s Jared Olson and Evansville’s Shane Gray sat their opponents down in order in the opening inning.

Xavier struck first in the top of the second, scoring a run following a walk and a base-hit, eventually pushing one across the plate on an error to take a 1-0 lead. The Aces answered in the bottom half of the inning, as a pair of walks by juniors Tanner Craig and Mason Brinkley helped power the offense. With two on and one out, senior Craig Shepherd ripped a base-hit to right center to score Craig and tie the game.

The Musketeers regained the lead in the third, getting a solo home run from Andrew Walker to take a 2-1 lead. Following Xavier’s homer, Olson locked down on the mound, striking-out three in the third to end the Evansville threat.

After both sides went quietly in the fourth, the Aces threatened to tie the match in the fifth. Evansville led off the inning with a walk by senior Ben Komonosky and would advance him to third with two outs. With an opportunity to tie the match, Olson ended the inning for the Aces with a strikeout.

Evansville showcased its defensive strength in the top of the sixth. With two outs, the Musketeers got a single to right field and the runner on second attempted to score. Redshirt senior Troy Beilsmith gathered the ball and fired a strike to home plate as Komonosky tagged the runner, who tried to hurdle him to end the inning and keep the Aces within a run.

As the game waned, Xavier added two runs in both the seventh and ninth innings to secure the 6-1 win.

Gray pitched six innings in the loss, allowing three earned runs on five hits, while striking-out a career-high eight batters.

Evansville and Xavier meet for a doubleheader beginning at 1 PM on Saturday at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.

Conner had doubled to lead off the inning and advanced to third on a single by senior designated hitter Manny Lopez.

Senior catcher Wyatt Daly made the score 2-0 in the second when the Eagles successfully executed a squeeze play to score Lopez.

The Saints, however, would erase the Eagles’ advantage with six unanswered runs to take a 6-2 lead. Maryville tied the game with two in the bottom of the second; took the lead with two in the third; and sealed its victory with two in the fifth.

USI senior designated hitter Manny Lopez put the Eagles back into the scoring column in the ninth when he blasted his second home run of the season to finish out the scoring in the 6-3 loss.

Habitual Traffic Violator Attempts to Flee from Deputies

0
On March 26th, 2021, at approximately 1155 hours a Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a black Chevy Malibu driving 80 MPH in the posted 70 MPH zone between Mile Markers 18 and 17. The driver refused to comply and continued traveling southbound in an attempt to flee. Other law enforcement officers from the Indiana State Police and the Evansville Police Department were in the area and observed the failure to yield. An ISP Trooper successfully deployed a pursuit termination device onto the roadway which eventually caused the passenger side front tire of the Malibu to deflate in a controlled manner. As a result, the driver of the Malibu finally yielded and came to a stop near the 14MM.

The driver, Antwane Broomfield, was taken into custody without further incident. A female passenger was also detained briefly, but later released without charges. The driver of the Malibu was identified as: Antwane L. Broomfield, 34, of Henderson, Kentucky

Broomfield was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail and charged with Resisting Law Enforcement (Level 6 Felony) and Operating a Vehicle as a Habitual Traffic Violator (Level 6 Felony). He currently has no bond pending a court appearance.
