Boomers Four-Run inning Hurts Otters

0
The Evansville Otters fell short of the Schaumburg Boomers Friday 6-3 as a four-run third inning provided Schaumburg with enough insurance to take game one of the series from Bosse Field.

The Boomers’ offense was aggressive early against Otters starter Randy Wynne, who Schaumburg just saw less than a week ago at their place.

After scoring two runs in three games against the Otters last week, the Boomers scored six runs on twelve hits Friday.

The run-scoring started in the first as back-to-back doubles by Dylan Jones and Nick Oddo were able to give the Boomers the early 1-0 lead.

Jack Meggs was able to tie the game for the Otters in the bottom of the second on an RBI groundout that scored Dakota Phillips.

In the top of the third, Schaumburg sent eight men to the plate, scoring four runs; two of them on a two-run home run by Jones and a two-run RBI single by Trey Ganns, who was a recent pickup after Southern Illinois released him, giving the Boomers a 5-1 lead.

Connor Oliver tripled in the fourth and scored on a single by Jack Parenty to put the sixth run on the board for the Boomers.

Ryan Long’s RBI double in the fifth scored David Cronin as the Otters cut the deficit to four, which ended the night for Schaumburg starter Matt Miller, who made his club debut.

Miller would earn the win, going five innings and allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts.

One of the tougher outings for Wynne, being dealt the loss. Wynne surrendered six runs on 11 hits in six innings.

The Otters would add a third run in the eighth on a sac-fly by Hunter Cullen, but it would not be enough.

Schaumburg closer Connor Eller finished the game in the ninth for his seventh save of the season.

Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act

THE NEW-HARMONY GAZETTE.SPECIAL RELEASE

By: Dan Barton June 13, 2019

Reps. Bucschon and Shimkus, and Senators Braun, Young, Duckworth, and Durbin         Introduce the Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act

(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Representatives Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-IN) and
John Shimkus (R-IL) with Senators Mike Braun (R-IN), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL),
Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced the Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act (H.R. 3245) (S. 1833), a bill that the House of Representatives passed by unanimous consent in the 115th Congress.

“I am optimistic that this legislation will pass both chambers of Congress and finally breath life back into the New Harmony Bridge that extends from Indiana to Illinois across the Wabash River,” said Dr. Bucshon. “The Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act will convey the Harmony Way Bridge and write the next chapter for this historic bridge.”

“Conveying the New Harmony Bridge to Illinois and Indiana Bridge Authorities is the best way to preserve and restore this local treasure,” said Rep. Shimkus. “I appreciate the strong support this effort has received from my friends on both sides of the Wabash River.”

“The Harmony Way Bridge is one of southern Indians’s lost treasures, and I’m proud to pitch in to the great work Representatives Bucshon and Shimkus have done on both sides of the Wabash to help get this piece of Hoosier history back up and running.” Senator Mike Braun

“I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bipartisan, bicameral legislation which will grant certainty to the New Harmony community,” said Senator Young. “Passage of this bill would allow Posey county, along with its neighboring communities, to dictate the future of this important, historic landmark.”

“Investing in Illinois’s infrastructure is one of my top priorities in the U.S. Senate,” said Senator Duckworth. “I’m glad to join my colleagues in helping introduce this bipartisan legislation to eliminate red-tape, jumpstart repairs to restore the Harmony Way Bridge and build upon the important connection between our states.”

“Giving local bridge authorities responsibility over the historic New Harmony Bridge will help restore and preserve it for generations of Hoosiers and Illinoisans to come,” Senator Durbin said. “Proud to join my colleagues in introducing this bill today.”

Background

The Harmony Way Bridge was an engineering marvel that was built in 1930. The size of the Parker truss spans made it the largest of its kind in Indiana. It was permanently closed in 2012 due to structural integrity issues. The federal law that led to the bridge’s construction has also prevented it from being refurbished and reopened by the states of Indiana and Illinois. The Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act will convey the bridge to the New Harmony River Bridge Authority (Illinois Bridge Authority) and repeal the 1941 federal statute, removing the conditions set out on the bridge. The Restore the Harmony Way Bridge Act was cosponsored in the House by every member of the Indiana and Illinois delegations.
