Stanley Clothing Company by Pat Sides
Stanley Clothing Company by Pat Sides
During the 1960s, many retailers closed or relocated to the city’s east side as the urban renewal movement increasingly encroached on Evansville’s once-busy downtown.
This photo was taken ca. 1967, the year the Stanley Clothing Company closed. Located at 111-115 Main Street, it was the tallest building in the block. Once called the Buckskin Breeches Company, it was renamed in 1929 under the helm of John R. Stanley, who specialized in making men’s suits.
The three smaller buildings at the right also appear to be vacant. Near the corner in the other direction is the old Evansville Courier building, adjacent to Hermann’s Candy store, which had operated for over a century before it was sold in 1964. By the end of the decade, the demolitions had begun.
Otters Record Two Wins Against Wild Things
Otters Record Two Wins Against Wild Things
WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Evansville Otters recorded another two wins against the Washington Wild Things Saturday, winning by a score of 3-1 and 6-0.
Saturday’s action picked up with the resumption of play from a suspended game back on June 20 at Washington, Where the Wild Things had a 1-0 lead with runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the second inning.
The Otters turned to Anthony Arias to take over in a long relief appearance for Austin Nicely, who started the game on June 20.
Thrown into a jam, Arias was able to strikeout J.R. Davis and forced Brett Marr to fly out to centerfield to end the threat.
John Havird, the original starter on June 20, pitched for Washington as Saturday was his normal scheduled start day in the rotation.
It would be a pitcher’s duel between Arias and Havird, as both pitchers would go back and forth throwing strikeouts.
The Otters would tie the game at one in the top of the sixth inning on a two-out RBI single from Elijah MacNamee to score J.J. Gould.
Havird would pitch into the eighth but fell into trouble when Gould led off the top of the inning with a solo home run over the left-field fence, giving the Otters their first lead of the game.
David Cronin would follow with a triple, and Ryan Long’s walk put runners on the corners with no outs, forcing Washington to pull Havird.
MacNamee hit into a fielder’s choice, allowing Cronin to score from third, and giving the Otters a 3-1 advantage.
Arias would pitch a clean seventh inning, tossing 5.2 innings of one-hit baseball with seven strikeouts in the winning effort, improving his record to 2-1.
Havird would throw seven innings, allowing three runs on eight hits while tossing six strikeouts. He was handed the loss, dropping his record to 5-6.
Otters left-handed reliever Cam Opp threw a scoreless eighth, and closer Taylor Wright earned his 12th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
Game two featured a balanced attack by the Otters.
The Otters’ offense got going in the top of the second inning.
With the bases loaded, Tanner Wetrich roped a two-RBI single off Washington starter Josh Lapiana to give the Otters a 2-0 lead through two.
In the Otters’ half of the third, Evansville doubled their lead.
Ryan Long unloaded on a two-run homer, scoring Keith Grieshaber, for his 13th home run of the season, recording his league-leading 61st and 62nd RBIs, and giving the Otters a 4-0 cushion.
Lapiana would finish three innings of work, allowing four runs on six hits. He would be handed the loss, dropping his record to 0-2.
With a 4-0 advantage, Otters starter Brandyn Sittinger continued to be in control and go to work on the mound.
After being flawless through four innings, Washington tested Sittinger in the fifth.
A pair of walks and a single in the inning loaded the bases with two outs, but Sittinger was not fazed, striking out Jose Medina to strand the bases loaded.
The Otters would add two more runs in the top of the sixth, featuring a solo home run from Gould, his second of the day, and a run on a defensive miscue by the Wild Things.
With a 6-0 lead, Sittinger struck out the side in order in the bottom of the sixth, and reliever Drew Beyer pitched a scoreless seventh inning to seal the win for Evansville.
Sittinger earned his first win as an Otter, pitching six shutout innings while striking out 11 batters. Sittinger struck out every batter in the Wild Things lineup at least once.
With the win in game two, each Otter’s batter in the lineup was able to reach base at least once. Cronin, Long, MacNamee, and Dakota Phillips had multi-hit games, as eight of the nine batters in the Otters’ lineup had at least one hit.
A win on Sunday will give the Otters another series win against the Wild Things and a 6-3 record against Washington this season.
First pitch for Sunday’s series finale is at 4:35 p.m. CT.

JUST IN: Rider Hospitalized After Two Motorcycles Collide
Rider Hospitalized After Two Motorcycles Collide
DATE: Saturday, August 10, 2019
A motorcyclist was ejected and injured this evening in Northern Vanderburgh County after a side-swipe collision involving two motorcycles.
On Saturday, August 10, 2019, at 8:05 PM, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, the German Township Fire Department, and the McCutchanville Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle crash in the area of N. Saint Joseph Ave and Schenk Road.
Once on scene, first responders located a heavily-damaged orange 2011 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle in a ditch northeast of the intersection. A white 2016 Honda CBR motorcycle was parked in an adjacent driveway and appeared to have sustained only minor damage. The rider of one of the motorcycles was found unconscious lying in the middle of the intersection. On scene, the investigation indicated that prior to the collision both of the motorcycles were traveling north on Saint Joseph Ave approaching the Schenk Road intersection. The rider of the Honda stopped at the stop sign, but the rider of the Kawasaki sideswiped the Honda from behind. The Kawasaki subsequently struck the stop sign, shearing it off and ejecting the rider.
Firefighters and paramedics attended to the injured motorcyclist, who was transported to Deaconess Midtown Hospital for treatment of possible internal injuries. The rider of the Honda was uninjured. Both riders were wearing helmets at the time of the collision.
Pursuant to state law regarding crashes involving serious bodily injury or death, the rider of the Honda consented to a post-crash blood draw. The crash will remain under investigation pending toxicology results from both riders (although impairment is not currently suspected as having been a factor in the crash).
The collision resulted in the temporary closure of Saint Joseph Ave, between Mohr Road and Sc
Otters come up one run short of Wild Thing
The Washington Wild Things scored two runs in the first inning against the Evansville Otters Friday, and that proved to be just enough as the Otters came up short in a 2-1 loss to the Wild Things.
The Wild Things’ high-powered offense was able to get their first two batters on base as Ryan Cox led off with a single and J.R. Davis was hit by the first pitch he saw from Otters starter Jake Welch.
With one out, the red-hot Hector Roa ripped a single to the outfield, collecting his 59th and 60th RBIs on the season to give Washington an early 2-0 lead.
The Otters had a chance to score their first run in the top of the third.
Mike Rizzitello singled to lead off the inning giving the Otters their first hit off Wild Things starter Nick Wegmann.
RIzzitello would steal second and attempt to score on a two-out single by David Cronin, but Roa rifled a throw from right field that allowed catcher Drew Bene to tag out Rizzitello at home to keep the game 2-0 Washington.
The Otters would capitalize and cut the deficit in half in the fourth inning.
Keith Grieshaber led off the inning with a single up the middle and scored on an RBI double by Ryan Long on a shot to the outfield gap. Long would collect his 60th RBI of the season, tied with Roa for first in the Frontier League.
Wegmann took control the rest of the way on the mound for Washington. He allowed only a single to Tanner Wetrich after Long’s RBI over his eight innings of work. The lefty for Washington allowed only one run on five hits while striking out eight. He would earn the victory, improving his record to 6-5.
The Otters were held scoreless from the fifth inning on as Washington closer Zach Strecker pitched a clean ninth inning, striking out Grieshaber, Long, and Elijah MacNamee in order to secure the victory for the Wild Things. He earned his 10th save of the season.
Welch was solid for the Otters Friday, pitching eight shutout innings, allowing two runs on six hits, and recording seven strikeouts. With the loss, Welch’s record moves to 6-5.
