Campbell hits first pro homer as Otters fall in extras
Evansville got the offense going early. In the first inning, Dennis Pierce led off the game with a walk to set the stage. He was later driven in after LJ Jones tapped one up the third base line and Pierce beat out the throw to home after a rundown. Two batters later, Logan Brown stepped up and lined one over the head of the second basemen to score Jones and make it 2-0.
The Y’alls would score in the first as well, but only got one against Evansville, who kept the lead at 2-1.
Fast forwarding to the third, the Otters scored after Ellis Schwartz reached via the walk and was later driven in by a JT Benson single.
Once again, Florence fought back in the home half of the inning. This time they scored two on a pair of RBI singles to tie it up at three. The next inning, in the fourth, a sacrifice fly would put them up 4-3.
The score held there until the sixth, when Jarred Campbell blasted a home run over the left field wall to tie it up at four. This was Campbell’s second hit of his young professional career and his first professional home run.
Two innings later in the eighth, Keenan Taylor lined one to the very top of the wall in the left field corner for a double. JJ Cruz then scored Taylor on an RBI single for the Otters to regain the lead at 5-4.
The Y’alls would tie it up once again in the ninth to send the two teams to extras for the second time this weekend. In the tenth, Florence would score and walk it off to a final score of 6-5.
Attorney General Todd Rokita speaks at U.S. Navy ceremony honoring crew 80 years after ship went down in 1945
| USS Indianapolis was instrumental in securing victory for US in World War II
The sacrifice of the sailors and Marines aboard the USS Indianapolis when it sank 80 years ago continues — quite rightly — to be commemorated, Attorney General Todd Rokita said today. But some Americans, he added, may forget the pivotal role of that crew in securing victory for the United States in World War II. The vessel made famous in World War II was a heavy cruiser commissioned in 1932. It carried 1,196 sailors and Marines at the time of its sinking. About 300 crew members went down with the ship, leaving about 890 to try to survive in shark-infested waters. By the time rescuers arrived after four days and five nights, they were able to save 316 individuals.
