Cullen’s homer pushes Evansville to victory

0
 Hunter Cullen’s solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday was the difference as the Evansville Otters claimed a 5-4 win against the Lake Erie Crushers to snap a four-game losing skid.

In a game that was a pitcher’s duel between Crushers starter Patrick Ledet and Otters starter Tyler Vail, runs were hard to come by early on.

 

Lake Erie struck first when Dale Burdick’s RBI double scored Emmanuel Marrero to give the Crushers a 1-0 lead after one.

 

After innings two through four were scoreless, the Otters were able to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth.

 

After Cullen led off with on a hit by pitch, Dakota Phillips knocked in Cullen from first base on an RBI double to tie the game at one.

 

In the top of the sixth and with runners on first and second, Lake Erie’s Brody Wofford moved both runners over a sac hit. Then Steven Kraft scored from third on an RBI groundout by Zach Racusin in the next at-bat to put the Crushers in front 2-1.

 

Vail would pitch a scoreless seventh inning, giving the Otters a chance to win. The veteran right-hander tossed seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits while throwing seven strikeouts. He ended up taking a no-decision.

 

The Otters were able to get to Ledet in the bottom of the seventh as J.J. Gould walked and David Cronin singled with one out, which led to reliever Augie Gallardo taking the baseball from Ledet.

 

Then a single by Keith Grieshaber would load the bases for the Otters.

 

With Ryan Long at the plate, a pass ball allowed Gould to score from third and advance the other two baserunners. Cronin would soon score from third as Long hit into a fielder’s choice with the throw home not in time to tag out Cronin, giving the Otters a 3-2 lead.

 

With Mike Rizzitello at the plate, Grieshaber at third, and Long at first, a wild pitch by Gallardo allowed Grieshaber to score, making the Otters’ advantage 4-2.

 

Ledet would be charged for the runs by Gould and Cronin, totaling to three earned runs in 6.1 innings pitched. The Crushers lefty allowed six hits while also striking out five. His line would also result in a no-decision.

 

In the top of the eighth, Lake Erie would bounce back with two runs of their own.

 

With two walks and a single to load the bases and no outs, Marrero was able to score from third on a wild pitch, bringing the Crushers within one.

 

A batter later, Racusin would record another RBI groundout, scoring Kraft to tie the game at four.

 

Otters reliever Cam Opp would minimize the damage there at 4-4.

 

In the bottom of the eighth and one out, Cullen hit his eighth home run of the season on a solo shot to right field off Crushers reliever Evy Ruibal to get the Otters back in front 5-4.

 

The top of the ninth was not easy for Otters closer Taylor Wright as the Crushers did not go down without one last effort.

Dear Friends

Hope all is well with you and yours.  For the past several years I have been involved with a local group of individuals who’s sole purpose is to give back to the community.  We have done this by sponsoring “100 Men Who Cook”.  

At this event we cook some of our favorite dishes to raise needed funds for local non-profit organizations.  Some past organizations are Albion Fellow’s Bacon Center, Boys & Girls Club, YWCA & CASA.  The vent this year is for The Koch Family Children’s Museum. It will be held at the Old National Events Plaza in Evansville, IN on Aug. 24th, starting at 6:00pm. It’s great fun. If you would like to attend email 100menwhocook@oldnational.com or call 812-468-0376.

I am asking you at this time to help by making an online tip donation.  As one of the Chef’s we vie to see who can raise the most TIP”S.  Go online athttps://evansville.100menwhocook.com click on “Meet Our Chef’s”, Click on State Representative Ron Bacon and make a donation.  Help me win the GoldenSpatula.  I won several years back and would like to do so again.  All proceeds go to the local Non–Profit Organization.

Tri-State Manufacturers’ Alliance Q3 Event Lean Practical Applications

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Southwest Indiana Chamber Tri-State Manufacturers’ Alliance will host the Q3 Event: Lean Practical Applications from 7:30am to 10:30pm at IVY Tech Community College on August 8, 2019.

Join us and learn from the Best of the Best in LEAN in the United States as we welcome AME Hall of Fame winner Art Byrne and Shingo-prize winning author Jim Benson!

From team leader to CEO, from manufacturers to hospitals to civic entities,

from small to large enterprises…Everyone can learn from the best and make your organization stronger!

How did Art Byrne apply it and create great success stories for American Manufacturing companies?

Speaker Art Bryne While serving as CEO or an equivalent position, Byrne implemented lean principles in more than 30 companies (including subsidiaries) and 14 countries during the past 30 years, giving him a matchless knowledge of how to turn around companies using a lean strategy. Byrne began his lean journey as general manager at the General Electric Company. Later, as group executive, he helped introduce lean to the Danaher Corporation. As CEO of The Wiremold Company he quadrupled the company size and increased its enterprise value by 2,500% in less than 10 years.

Speaker Jim Benson is a Shingo-prize winning author, a civil engineer, an urban planner, a business-owner, a consultant, and owns seven bar-be-ques. He’s worked with cities as small as Albion, Michigan, and run multi-million dollar projects for the United Nations. He’s planned and designed light rail systems, freeways, and the transportation plans for literally every city in Oregon (and was glad when that project was over) He owned a successful software company and, as a consultant has worked with nobel prize winners, Fortune 10 companies, small two-person restaurants, governments, and so on. He is on the faculty of the Lean Enterprise Institute and the Deming Institute. He loves this stuff.
