Otters’ Offense Sinks Wild Things Early
Otters’ Offense Sinks Wild Things Early
WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Evansville Otters brought their explosive offense to the ballpark Sunday, sinking the Washington Wild Things 9-2 in the series finale.
 The Otters and Elijah MacNamee got things started in the top of the first inning.  After a Ryan Long single with two outs, MacNamee ripped a two-run home run to left field, his first professional homer, to give the Otters an early 2-0 lead.Washington’s Hector Roa cut the Otters’ lead in half in the bottom of the first on an RBI single, making the score 2-1.
MacNamee would cash in two more RBIs in the third on a triple, scoring David Cronin and Keith Grieshaber, to push the Otters ahead 4-1 through three.
Washington starter AJ Bogucki would pitch four innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits. He would be given the loss, dropping his record to 2-4.
The Otters would score four runs in the top of the fifth, sending eight men to the plate. Cronin led off with a walk, Grieshaber singled, and Long smacked a two-RBI double, extending the Otters’ lead to 6-1.
J.J. Gould followed later in the inning with a two-RBI single, scoring Long and Jack Meggs, to increase the Otters’ lead to 8-1 and break the game open after five innings. That was plenty of run support for the newly signed Otters’ starting pitcher Matt Burleton, making his professional debut with Evansville.
From the second to the fourth inning, Burleton retired nine consecutive batters but would run into a jam in the fifth With runners on first and second and one out, Meggs at first helped start a 3-6-3 double play to end the threat.
Roa hit another RBI single in the sixth, driving in all the Wild Things’ runs in the originally scheduled games for this weekend.
Burleton pitched a scoreless seventh inning before turning the baseball over to the Otters’ bullpen in Abraham Almonte and Michael Gizzi, who tossed scoreless innings. The left-hander earned his first win in his professional debut, throwing seven strong innings while allowing two runs – one earned – on six hits. He did not record a strikeout but did a solid job pitching to the Otters’ defense.
Cronin added an RBI double in the eighth, giving the Otters nine runs on 11 hits.
MacNamee was a double shy of the cycle, going 3-5 with a home run, triple, and a single while recording four RBIs. He would have multiple hits along with Long, Gould and Grieshaber.
The combination of Cronin, Grieshaber, Long, Gould, and MacNamee would have nine RBIs, ten hits, and seven runs scored.

“Right Jab And Left Jab†August 12, 2019
“Right Jab And Left Jab†was created because we have two commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE†or “Readers Forum†columns concerning National or International issues.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan’s comments are mostly about issues of national interest.  The majority of our “IS IT TRUE†columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give Mr. Biden and Mr. Reagan exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and RIGHT JAB† column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB†AND “RIGHT JABâ€Â several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB†is a liberal view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.

Rider Hospitalized after Two Motorcycles Collide
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 Departmentresponded 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 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 Schenk Road, for approximately one hour.
