McGuff goes the distance, one out away from no-hitter in Otters’ win

0

The Evansville Otters nearly had their fourth no-hitter in franchise history on Friday, winning 3-0 as starting pitcher Patrick McGuff had his no-hit bid broken by the Schaumburg Boomers with two outs in the ninth inning.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a runner on first, Clint Hardy hit a shallow single to right field to break up a no-hitter from McGuff.

McGuff would see only four Boomers reach base in the outing, surrendering the lone hit, one walk, a hit-batter, and one via an error by the Otters’ defense.

The Otters ace went the distance, ending the game with his 11th strikeout, moving McGuff’s record to 5-0 with 60 strikeouts and a 1.04 ERA on the season.

The Evansville Otters have two complete games this season, both by McGuff. McGuff’s first complete game was in game one of a doubleheader on May 22 at Gateway, going the full seven innings.

McGuff was able to get early run support, as the Otters manufactured their scoring offense with a small-ball approach.

Carlos Castro led off the top of the second with a double. With one out, Mike Rizzitello had a drop third strike called, as a wild pitch from Schaumburg starter Connor Reed was mishandled by Boomers catcher Nick Oddo. As Rizzitello ran down the first base line, Castro advanced from second to third. After Oddo threw out Rizzitello for the second out of the inning, first baseman Matt Rose’s throw back to Oddo went over his head, allowing Castro to slide at home headfirst to score the Otters’ first run of the game.

In the top of the sixth with one out, J.J. Gould doubled to right-centerfield, followed by another double from David Cronin, to put runners on second and third.

Keith Grieshaber’s sac-fly to left scored Gould to extend the Otters’ lead to two.

In the ninth, Carlos Castro hit the first triple of the year for the Otters, as right fielder Clint Hardy lost sight of the ball in the lights.  Rob Calabrese hit a sac-fly to score Castro, giving the Otters their third run.

Castro finished 3 for 4 at the plate with two doubles, a triple, and two runs scored.

Senators Braun & Young, Representative Carson Introduce Bill to Rename Indianapolis Post Office After Senator Richard Lugar

0

Senator Mike Braun, Senator Todd Young, Representative André Carson (IN-07), Representative Pete Vislosky (IN01), Representative Jackie Walorski (IN-02), Representative Jim Banks (IN-03), Representative Jim Baird (IN-04), Representative Susan Brooks (IN-05), Representative Greg Pence (IN-06), Representative Larry Bucshon (IN-08), and Representative Trey Hollingsworth (IN-09) introduced legislation to rename the United States Post Office building at 456 North Meridian Street in Indianapolis after Senator Richard G. Lugar.

“Senator Richard Lugar is a towering figure in Hoosier history and one of the greatest statesmen ever to serve in the U.S. Senate: it’s only fitting for us to rename the Indianapolis Post Officer after him,” said Senator Mike Braun.

“Senator Lugar leaves a legacy as an exemplar of wisdom, civility, and bipartisanship. Many years ago, I had the privilege of working on Senator Lugar’s staff, and I had a front row seat to history, watching a statesman at work. This is one small way we can ensure Senator Lugar’s legacy lives on,” said Senator Todd Young.

“Senator Lugar’s distinguished career in public service and his statesmanship are an enduring source of pride and inspiration for Indianapolis – the city where he was born and raised, and served as Mayor. I’m proud to help preserve his legacy by honoring him in this way,” said Representative André Carson. 

BACKGROUND

This bipartisan, bicameral legislation designates Indianapolis’ main post office as the Richard G. Lugar Post Office Building.  “To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 456 North Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the ‘Richard G. Lugar Post Office Building.’”
