Last Time Out: Evansville 7, SIU 3

  • In the series finale, the University of Evansville baseball team snapped a 19-game winning streak for No. 25 SIU with a 7-3 win over the Salukis on Sunday afternoon at Itchy Jones Stadium in Carbondale, Ill.
  • Great team win today. SIU was one of the hottest team I’ve ever ran into so it was great to see us show up and play at a high level,” said Evansville head baseball coach Wes Carroll. “Great to see our offense get hits and execute when needed. Bullpen came up big to close out the game.”
  • For the first time this series, Evansville scored first, pushing across a run as redshirt senior Troy Beilsmith scored on a groundout by junior Tanner Craig in the top of the first. In the bottom half of the first, freshman pitcher Donovan Schultz got off to a strong start with a pair of strikeouts.
  • SIU took the lead in the bottom of the third inning as the Salukis put together a three-run inning to open up a two run advantage on the Aces. Evansville responded in the top of the next inning, inching closer with a run on freshman Simon Scherry’s fielder’s choice that scored freshman Brent Widder.
  • The sixth inning was key for Evansville on both the offensive and defensive fronts. In the top half, the Aces opened the inning with a Widder walk.
  • Senior Ben Komonosky came to the plate next and delivered a double, advancing to third on an error, that scored Widder to tie the game at three.
  • Evansville was not finished in the inning as the next at bat saw Beilsmith drive a sacrifice fly to center that scored Komonosky and gave the Aces a 4-3 lead.
  • After Komonosky scored, Evansville scored two more runs in the inning on a double by freshman Mark Shallenberger and another sacrifice fly, this one coming from junior Mason Brinkley as UE took a 6-3 lead to the bottom of the sixth.
  • SIU threatened in the bottom half of the inning, placing runners on first and second with no outs.
  • Junior Erif Roberts responded, getting the Salukis to ground into a fielder’s choice and striking-out a batter for the second out.
  • Roberts was replaced by Parks for what would be the final at-bat of the inning as Parks struck-out Ian Walters to end the inning.
  • Evansville padded-on an insurance run in the seventh as Widder opened the inning with a single and found his way home with an RBI single from Scherry.
  • Leading into the ninth, sophomore Michael Parks pitched valiantly, going 2.1 innings with just one hit and striking-out two.
  • In the bottom of the ninth, Evansville brought in closer Jakob Meyer, who continued his spectacular spring by sitting the Salukis down in order including an inning opening strikeout to secure the 7-3 win for Evansville.
  • The win for the Aces was the first for UE over SIU since May 27, 2016, snapping a 13-game win streak in the series for the Salukis.

Previewing the Matchup: Butler

  • Evansville and Southern Illinois are meeting 111th time when the two sides meet on Friday for the series opener with the Aces owning a 73-37 advantage in the all-time series.
  • Evansville has won 13-straight games over the Bulldogs, dating back to an 8-3 loss to Butler on March 7, 1997.
  • The Aces swept a three-game series from the Bulldogs a season ago, taking 8-3, 4-1, and 4-3 wins over Butler on Feb. 28, 29, & March 1, 2020 at Bosse Field.
  • Butler enters the weekend series with a 2-2 record after taking a game from Purdue Fort Wayne (2-0) and Depauw (16-4) so far this season.
  • Evansville has won both of its home series to start the season after taking 2-of-3 from NIU and 3-of-4 from Western Illinois.
  • The Aces look to make it back-to-back seasons winning three-straight home series with a series win this weekend.

Back on Track

  • After three losses to open the weekend at SIU, Evansville got back on track in its Sunday win over the Salukis.
  • On Sunday, Evansville recorded seven runs on 13 hits.
  • The 13 hits were tied for second-most on the season and the seven runs were the most for Evansville on the road this season.
  • The Aces did all this without generating many free bases, receiving only two walks and being hit by a pitch just twice.

Strong Debut for Roberts

  • Making his first start of the season for the Aces, Eric Roberts impressed with a strong day at the plate.
  • Roberts went 1-for-2 at the dish, recording a double and a RBI, while also scoring two runs and earning two walks in Friday’s series opener at SIU.

Otters Unveil New Logo Branding

The Evansville Otters unveiled a collection of newly designed logos Tuesday, giving the baseball team a fresh, rebranded look heading into the 2021 Frontier League championship season.
The Otters franchise announced its logo rebranding Tuesday afternoon at the Old National Bank building along Riverside Dr. in Downtown Evansville.
“This is an exciting time for the Otters franchise, coming off our 25th anniversary in 2019, Bosse Field’s renovations in 2020, and now, new branding heading into the Otters’ return to the field in 2021,” Otters president John Stanley stated. “Now seemed like the perfect time to refresh some things.”
The new primary logo features updated, brighter color variations of the Otters’ traditional red and blue scheme, while also adding a light, watery blue and a warm, white hide.
The main logo also introduced a new typography, showcasing an emphasis on “Evansville” in the visual to signify the dedication to community and local team pride. Plus, the wordmarks present a contemporary, custom script that pays homage to baseball’s classic typeface.
The otter mascot in the team logo also received an updated look, displaying a serious game face, but with soft curves and a two-dimensional style to make him friendly and fun – in the true spirit of an otter.
The Otters also revealed new secondary wordmarks, “E” insignias, and an alternate sub logo.
The Otters stated the franchise set out to develop a new brand that would respectfully honor Evansville’s baseball history. The club also wanted to communicate the values that are important to the organization: providing affordable, safe fun for every demographic, representing the city of Evansville, and reflecting the organization’s priority of the community.

USI Softball returns to action Saturday

0

For the first time in nearly two years, University of Southern Indiana Softball returns to Great Lakes Valley Conference play when it visits Lewis University and the University of Illinois Springfield this weekend for a pair of conference doubleheaders.

The Screaming Eagles (2-5, 0-0 GLVC) visit the Lewis Flyers Saturday at noon in Romeoville, Illinois, before taking on the Prairie Stars Sunday at noon in Springfield, Illinois. Saturday’s games will be the first for USI since the Eagles played at the Blue Bridge Classic in Owensboro, Kentucky, February 27.

Both doubleheaders will be carried on the GLVC Sports Network, while live stats will be available at GoUSIEagles.com.

Spectator Policies:
• Saturday. Lewis is allowing spectators at its outdoor venues, provided they are socially distanced, masked up and fill out Lewis’s Visitor Health Screening Form—spectators can also fill out the form when they arrive on campus via a QR code that will be posted at each venue.

• Sunday. Only guests of Illinois Springfield players and coaches along with a limited number of UIS students, faculty and staff are permitted to attend Sunday’s game at UIS.

Notes
• Last time out. USI Softball earned an 8-1 win over Midwest Region foe Lake Erie College on February 27 after falling, 5-4, to Midwest Region opponent Cedarville University earlier in the day. Freshman centerfielder Mackenzie Bedrick (Brownsburg, Indiana) led the Eagles at the plate, going 5-of-9 with three stolen bases and three runs scored. Junior pitcher Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana) paced the Eagles in the circle, scattering four hits throughout four scoreless innings to pick up the win against Lake Erie.

• Hitting leaders. Senior outfielder Alicia Webb (Elberfeld, Indiana) leads USI in batting average, RBI (7), doubles (3), on-base percentage (.520) and slugging percentage (.783). She is one of five Eagles, with a minimum of 15 at-bats, hitting better than .300 on the year. Bedrick is second on the team with a .435 batting average and leads the Eagles with five stolen bases and seven runs scored.

• Pitching leaders. Junior Elissa Brown (Brownsburg, Indiana) leads the Eagles in ERA (2.62), saves (1) and opponent batting average (.212), while sophomore Allie Goodin (Evansville, Indiana) has struck out a team-leading 20 batters in a team-high 23.2 innings of work and is second on the team in ERA (2.66).

• Hitting streaks. Webb has hit safely in each of USI’s seven games this year and 11 straight games dating back to the end of the 2020 campaign. Bedrick and sophomore infielder Jordan Rager (Fishers, Indiana) have each hit safely in their previous four appearances.

• Player of the Week. Webb was named the GLVC Player of the Week following her performance in USI’s games against Wingate University, the University of North Georgia and Young Harris College. She hit .500 with three doubles, a home run and five RBI. She was a combined 6-of-10 from the plate with a double, home run and three RBI in USI’s three games against then No. 2 North Georgia and No. 5 Young Harris.

• USI picked to finish second in GLVC. League coaches predicted that the Eagles will finish second in the GLVC in 2021. USI received 170 points and two first-place votes, while Indianapolis was picked to finish first, receiving 190 points and four first-place votes.

• Eagles in 2020. USI finished the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign with a 15-4 record. The Eagles were set to host Indianapolis in their GLVC-opener when the season was canceled.

• Kunkle going for 600. USI Head Coach Sue Kunkle, now in her 20th year leading the Eagles, is 565-391-1 overall record. She is 35 wins from becoming the first coach in USI history with 600 wins.

• Eagles looking to continue NCAA run. The Eagles were on pace for their sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth in 2020 and their seventh in the last eight years when the season was cut short due to COVID. USI won back-to-back NCAA II Midwest Region titles in 2017 and 2018 before capturing the 2018 national championship.

Otters seeking host families for 2021 season

0

The Evansville Otters are seeking local individuals and households interested in applying for the host family program and hosting an Otters player for the 2021 season.

 

When players decide to continue their baseball career in independent baseball, many travel from across the country to play in the Frontier League. This means that they are hours away from friends and family members. For this reason, when they arrive in Evansville, they look for a touch of home to make them feel welcome. One way the community “adopts” the players is by serving as host families during the season. Families provide housing, as well as a support system, for the player(s) they host.

 

“Host families help drive the success of the Evansville Otters organization, providing room and board for the players and allowing them to focus on their baseball careers,” Otters director of marketing and community relations Brittany Skinner said.

 

Players need their own bedroom, but multiple players can share a bedroom. Some families house one player, and others house multiple players for the season.

 

The Evansville Otters are asking families to take players for both the season and for the two-week Spring Training period, May 13 through May 27.

 

“Spring Training is a great opportunity to see if the host family program is the right fit for your family, while also helping the team during a short period of time,” Skinner added.

 

The regular season starts May 27 and ends September 12. In the case of potential postseason play for the Evansville Otters, host families will be needed through late September.

 

Host families and players are asked to complete a survey before they are matched, and this enables the organization to match a player with the appropriate family.

 

Once an application is reviewed, an interview is set to verify a new family is a good fit for the program.

 

The Otters do everything they can to ensure a suitable match is made for both the player and family.

 

Participants in the host family program receive benefits as an expression of gratitude on behalf of the Evansville Otters for their support.
