U Of E Baseball Team Were Eliminated From Missouri Valley Conference Championship

0

NORMAL, Ill. – With their postseason hopes on the line, the University of Evansville baseball team were eliminated from the Missouri Valley Conference Championships by top-seeded Dallas Baptist, 9-2, Thursday afternoon at Duffy Bass Field in Normal, Illinois.

Senior right-hander Justin Hayden got the start for UE, and after pitching a scoreless opening frame, the Patriots bats tagged him for back to back home runs by Andres Sosa, then Augie Isaacson, making 3-0 Dallas Baptist.

Hayden would bounce back to toss a scoreless third, but in the fourth DBU would strike with the long ball again, as HerbertIser drilled a solo homer to right-center, making it 4-0 Dallas Baptist, ending Hayden’s day. Junior left-hander Nathan Cronerwould take over from there and toss two-plus shutout innings.

As for the Aces offense, UE had plenty of opportunities to get on the board early, stranding five runners in the first four frames. Evansville would finally get on the scoreboard in the fifth, as a wild pitch would allow junior outfielder Troy Beilsmithto race home with the Aces’ first tally of the game.

However, in the seventh inning, Dallas Baptist would finally catch up with Croner, as an error on a possible inning-ending double play ball would eventually lead to a five-run frame, ending Croner’s day.

Senior relievers Austin Allinger and Alex Weigand would take it the rest of the way on the mound.

In the bottom of the eighth, freshman designated hitter Eric Roberts gave Evansville it’s second and the last run of the day on a solo home run to right. That would be his second round-tripper of the season.

The loss end the Aces season with an overall record of 24-29 and 11-12 in conference play, while Dallas Baptist improves to 40-16 overall and 15-7 in league play.

AG Curtis Hill: Congress Must Hold Internet Service Providers Accountable

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill joined 46 other attorneys general across the country this week to ask Congress for the third time to amend the Communications Decency Act in order to make sure state and local authorities are able to protect citizens online and take appropriate action against criminal acts.

The Communication Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) was designed to encourage the growth of the internet by promoting free expression, particularly on online message boards. The Act was intended to allow companies that sponsor message boards to remain immune to repercussions from inappropriate posts, but, due to a misinterpretation of Section 230 of the Act, some federal court opinions have interpreted it so broadly that individuals and services that knowingly aid and profit from illegal activity have evaded prosecution.

“We must do our best to protect our citizens, enforce the law and penalize violators,” Attorney General Hill said. “Congress must hold internet service providers accountable.”

“Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act” and “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act” (known as FOSTA-SESTA) was signed into law in 2018, making clear that the CDA’s immunity does not apply to enforcement of federal or state sex trafficking laws. The abuse on these platforms does not stop at sex trafficking; it also includes other harmful illegal activity such as online black market opioid sales, identity theft and election meddling.

Section 230 expressly exempts prosecution of federal crimes from the safe harbor, but “addressing criminal activity cannot be relegated to federal enforcement alone simply because the activity occurs online,” the letter states. “Attorneys General must be allowed to address these crimes themselves and fulfill our primary mandate to protect our citizens and enforce their rights.”

Attorneys general have addressed this issue with Congress before. In 2013 and 2017, nearly every state and territory attorney general wrote to inform Congress of the damaging misinterpretation and misapplication of Section 230 of the CDA.

This familiar building has housed a variety of industries for well over a century. Armstrong Furniture Company originally occupied the site about 1874, and after a fire in 1890, the current structure was built.

By 1900, Bockstege Furniture Company had taken possession of the plant. Its enormous size signaled how important the furniture industry was to Evansville around the turn-of-the-century when the city boasted that it was the “furniture capital of the world.” Most of these factories were located in Lamasco, which was largely populated by Germans, many of whom were skilled craftsmen.

In 1917, the plant was enlarged for the new owner, Hercules Body Company, a division of Servel, which was then manufacturing five hundred automobile bodies per day.

Big Inning Sinks Aces in MVC Tournament Opener

0

For eight innings, the University of Evansville baseball team played even with Indiana State. Unfortunately, the third inning was a different story, as the Aces fell in their Missouri Valley Conference Championships opener, 7-0.

Junior right hand pitcher Adam Lukas (5-6) looked sharp early, tossing a pair of perfect frames to open the game. However, Indiana State would catch up with him in the third inning, loading up the bases. That’s when the Sycamores Jake Means launched a grand slam home run to left, giving ISU a 4-0 advantage. Indiana State would tack on one more, ending Lukas’ night, with Evansville down 5-0. Freshman left-hand reliever Michael Parks came in and gave up a 2-run double, before finally putting out the fire.

Parks would settle in from there, keeping the Sycamores off the scoreboard the rest of the way, going 5 2/3 innings, striking out four, giving up just one hit in the process.

However, the Aces offense, which out hit Indiana State 7-5, had several scoring opportunities early, but stranded seven runners in the first five innings.

“We had a chance to get out of their big offensive inning but couldn’t minimize the damage”, said Aces head coach Wes Carroll. “We had some chances early offensively but couldn’t get the RBI knock. You have to credit their starter and the at bats their offense put together in that big 3rd inning. We have shown fight throughout the year so there is no doubt in my mind we will give it our all tomorrow.”

The loss drops the Aces to 24-28 overall and 11-11 in MVC play. They will now face elimination Thursday afternoon, when they take on Dallas Baptist University. First pitch from Duffy Bass Field is at 3 p.m.
