Eagles Sweeps DH, Series From Trojans

  • EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball swept a doubleheader and the series with a pair wins over Trevecca Nazarene University Saturday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. The Screaming Eagles move their record to 4-2 overall, while the Trojans go to 3-6 after the weekend.Game 1:

    The Eagles rallied twice, including a two-run bottom of the ninth, to defeat the Trojans, 7-6 in the opening game. The win marked USI’s second-straight walk-off victory.

    Trevecca jumped out in front early, scoring three times in the first three innings, and upped the lead to 4-0 with a tally in the sixth. USI tied the score, 4-4, in the bottom of the sixth on a three-run triple by senior right fielder Manny Lopez and an RBI-sacrifice fly to center field by junior third baseman Ethan Hunter.

    Lopez gave the Eagles their first lead of the game in the eight with his first home run of the season to left field, 7-6. The Trojans regained the lead, 8-7, with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth and set the stage for the Eagles in the bottom half of the inning.

    After loading the bases, USI tied the score when freshman left fielder Austin Moody drove in a run after being hit with a pitch and walked off with the win when sophomore catcher/first baseman Lucas McNew drove an RBI single to left field.

    Senior right-hander Jacob Bowles picked up his first victory of the season and the day after getting the Eagles out of the top of the ninth after freshman right-hander Trent Robinson allowed two tallies to open the frame.

    Sophomore right-hander Garrett Welch started the game for USI, allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits in five innings of work. Sophomore left-hander Sammy Barnett and junior right-hander Brady Bowling blanked the Trojans in back-to-back innings.

    Game 2:
    Four USI hurlers combined to hold Trevecca to one run as the Eagles completed the doubleheader sweep, 4-1, in the nightcap.

    Senior right-hander Paul Perez started and allowed one run over six innings, holding the Trojans scoreless over the first five innings. Perez was followed to the bump by senior right-hander Jacob Bowles, who picked up his second win of the day after throwing a scoreless seventh.

    The Eagles got a scoreless eighth from junior right-hander Brady Bowling before senior right-hander Jordan Menfee picked up his first save of the year by blanking Trevecca in the ninth.

    Offensively, USI jumped out in front in the fifth when freshman centerfielder Steven Molinet singled in senior catcher Wyatt Daly for the 1-0 lead. USI scored the eventual winning runs in the bottom of the seventh when a Trojans throwing error plated a pair of runs for the 3-1 lead.

    The Eagles sealed the 4-1 victory with a tally in the eighth on an RBI-triple by senior shortstop Kobe Stephens, plating junior third baseman Ethan Hunter.

    Up Next for the Eagles:
    USI conclude their six-game homestand next weekend when its host 10th-ranked Ashland University February 28-March 1. USI leads the all-time series with the Ashland Eagles, 15-8, and won the last meeting in the 2018 Midwest Regional, 11-3, in Springfield, Illinois.

APOSEMATISM

APOSEMATISM

Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine

Aposematism. “Fair warning.” That is what that long Ancient Greek-derived word means. “Stay away!” Or as it applies to skunks, “I stink; get back”. When one sees the white stripes among a skunk’s black fur Mother Nature apparently believes that is sufficient warning of skunks’ antisocial character. The Greeks used the term, aposematic, to identify any animal that had a way to warn off enemies.

My recent experience with skunks has led me to question whether skunks understand the “stay away” thing should go both ways. It also confirms my long-held conclusion that the Ancient Greeks and Romans had already discovered over 2,000 years ago almost everything worth knowing.

The Ancient Romans provided the term for the scientific family we call skunks. It is Mephitidae which was based on the Roman god that referred to the malodorous gases emitting from swamps and volcanoes. It appears skunks had infiltrated the greatest cultures of Western Civilization. Of course, skunks and their relatives have not spared any other great cultures either.

But, Gentle Reader, we are not concerned with etymology, the origin of words, but with the origin of the behavior, particularly skunk behavior as it relates to the family of skunks that have apparently decided Peg and I are their friends and that our home is, also, their home. What happened to that age-old skunk/human dynamic of don’t bother us and we won’t bother (or spray) you?

For three weeks now a family of skunks has been determined to live with us. This might not have been intolerable if the family of opossums and one squirrel that had already chosen our cabin as their home would have just moved on and given our crawl space to the invading skunks. However, a reasonable retreat was not the opossums’ and squirrel’s decision. War was declared and you already know what the Dooms Day war weapon of skunks is. The skunks beneath our cabin deploy their spray frequently every night between about 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. depending upon the aggression of the opossums and the squirrel. Of course, Peg and I, whose only role has been to provide a warm dry area for all involved, get the collateral damage from this domestic terrorism. The stench wafts up through the floor and pervades every inch of our living space.

Peg used to tell me I needed to understand  the competing animals are simply some of our fellow mammals acting naturally. My attitude started out negative and has rapidly escalated to that of Bill Murray’s like the golf course groundskeeper in the movie Caddyshack and his battles with gophers. I just want them out from under our cabin and out of our lives. I realized I had slipped over the edge when I began to visibly rejoice each time I’d pass a dead skunk flattened on the highway. And Peg’s “tsk, tsk” admonition to me finally changed last night.

About 2:00 a.m. Peg heard a noise and got up to investigate. She opened the bedroom door that leads out to our porch. Fortunately, she had switched on the outside light first. As she gingerly put a foot out the door a skunk came around the corner and headed into our home. Peg screamed, “Skunk!”. I grabbed my shotgun. The skunk kept coming. Peg slammed the door just as the skunk’s nose hit the glass. Peg and I are finally on the same page. Terminix, traps and anti-critter sprays and pellets are now our mantras. One positive thing is the opossums have decided they are through fighting and they and the squirrel have “moved on”. Now we just need to convince the skunks, starting with this “adorable” white with black stripe specimen that we caught last night. See the Euell Gibbons-like photograph Peg took.

Softball scores season-high 14 runs to open weekend

0

Aces belt two home runs in the win

Facing one of the top pitching staffs in the nation, the University of Evansville softball team put on a clinic, erupting for a season-high 14 runs to pick up a 14-8 victory over Georgia Southern on Friday evening at Eagle Field in the Eagle Round Robin.

 

Entering the weekend, the Eagles (8-3) ERA stood at 0.73, one of the lowest in the NCAA.  Evansville (5-5) did not let that statistic deter its efforts, scoring seven runs in the first three innings.  Freshmen Jenna Lis and Kat Mueller combined for nine RBI, four hits and four runs.  Lis was 2-4 with five RBI, including her first home run, which was a grand slam.  Mueller had a 2-3 game with four runs batted in.  Each scored twice.  Jessica Fehr added three hits in five at-bats.  She registered her first homer of the season and four RBI on the night.  Alyssa Barela and Hannah Hood added two hits each.

 

“I am extremely proud of the way the ladies hit the ball up and down the lineup.  We had a good game plan going into the game and the ladies really executed it,” Purple Aces head softball coach Mat Mundell said.  “We have been hitting the ball hard all year; we told them to trust the process and the hits would fall.  Tonight they did.”

 

Georgia Southern got on the board first with a pair of runs in the first, but UE did not waste any time fighting back.  Katie McLean hit a leadoff double to open the top of the second before Lindsay Renneisen reached on a walk.  Both crossed the plate when Kat Mueller belted a 2-out double.  Jessica Fehr followed up with a single that scored Mueller for the third run of the inning.

 

The Eagles retook the lead in the bottom of the second with three more runs, but Evansville struck again in the third with four runs on a Jenna Lis grand slam.  Haley Woolf and Renneisen both reached base on GSU errors while Hannah Hood was hit by a pitch to load the bases for Lis, who delivered the hit that would put the Aces in front for good.

 

In the fourth, Fehr hit a leadoff home run before Woolf added an RBI double to extend the advantage to 9-5.  The 10th run of the night crossed the plate in the fifth thanks to a Mueller sacrifice fly.  Georgia Southern inched closer with two runs in the sixth before UE slammed the door in the seventh, adding four insurance runs to finish with the 14-8 victory.  Lis and Mueller had RBI singles in the frame while Fehr brought home two runs with a single to center.

 

Pitching five innings of relief, UE sophomore Izzy Vetter picked up the win, her second of the season.  Emily Lockhart tossed the first inning before Vetter threw five strong frames.  She allowed four runs, just two earned, on four hits.  She struck out three batters.  Erin Kleffman threw a scoreless seventh.

 

Two games are on the docket for Saturday, beginning with a 9 a.m. CT game against Furman.  The Aces finish the day with a 2 p.m. contest versus Maryland.

Leonhardt tosses CG shutout, but Eagles fall in nightcap

0
University of Southern Indiana senior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt tossed her 35th complete-game shutout as the Screaming Eagles opened the Midwest Region Crossover with a 2-0 win over Northwood University at Grand Park Friday morning. USI, however, suffered an 8-7 walk-off loss to Ferris State University in the nightcap.

Game 1
Leonhardt (2-2) racked up eight strikeouts and held the Timberwolves (2-1) to just four hits as the Eagles earned the 2-0 win in the opener. Senior shortstop Taylor Ricketts had a two-out, RBI-double in the home half of the fourth inning to break a scoreless tie, while an RBI-single by freshman second baseman Rachel Martinez in the fifth frame put the Eagles up 2-0.

The Eagles (4-3) were held without a hit throughout the first three innings of the game, but a single by freshman pitcher/first baseman Allie Goodin to lead off the fourth got things going for USI’s offense.

Game 2
USI was a victim of not having the last at-bat in a nightcap that featured five lead changes. Ferris State (2-4) struck first, gaining a 1-0 lead with a tally in the bottom of the first inning, but USI capitalized on Ferris State errors in both the second and third innings to surge in front, 3-1.

The lead turned out to be brief as Ferris State scored twice in the last half of the third to tie the game before scorching USI for three runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 6-3 advantage.

USI, however, wasted little time in responding to the Bulldogs’ surge as the Eagles scored four two-out runs in the top of the fifth inning to retake the lead, 7-6. Ricketts, who drove in a run in the second and third innings, had her third RBI of the game when she drove in the Eagles’ first run of the fifth on a sacrifice fly. Sophomore pitcher/infielder Katie Back had an RBI-double in the next at-bat to get the Eagles to within a run, while freshman catcher/infielder Sammie Kihega followed two batters later with a pinch-hit, two-run single to put the Eagles in front 7-6.

Once again, the Eagles, lead was short-lived as Ferris State capitalized on a lead-off double and a two-out, USI error to push across its seventh run of the game in the bottom of the fifth inning.

After a scoreless sixth inning, Ferris State got a one-out, walk-off home run off the bat of sophomore first baseman Kaitlyn Orme to hand the Eagles their third loss of the year.

Back (0-1) was charged with the loss after giving up five runs, four earned off five hits in 3 1/3 innings of work. Goodin started the game, giving up three runs, two earned, off four hits in three innings of action. Both finished with three strikeouts.

Notes
Sophomore catcher Courtney Schoolcraft went 1-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI-double, while Leonhardt had a seven-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4 performance at the plate against Ferris State…Friday’s games were back an hour due to frigid temperatures in the Indianapolis area.

Up next
The Eagles return to action Saturday when they take on Ohio Dominican University and West Virginia State University at noon and 2 p.m. (CST), respectively.
