Otters Shutout Crushers In 8-0 Win

0
The Evansville Otters started the second half of the season on the right foot, defeating the Lake Erie Crushers 8-0 Friday night in front of 4,096 fans at Bosse Field.

The hit parade started early for the Otters when Mike Rizzitello scored David Cronin on an RBI single to give Evansville a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

The top of the second inning turned out to be a momentum changer in the game.

With runners on first and second and one out, Crushers first baseman Jake Veith was called for batters’ interference as the ball bounced to the left of Rizzitello behind the plate. The interference call prevented Zach Racusin from scoring at third base, and Veith struck out.

Another strikeout from Otters starter Jake Welch to Bryan DeLaRosa ended the inning, an opportunity that the Crushers did not capitalize on.

The Otters would take advantage of the mistake in the bottom of the second.

Rob Calabrese smashed his sixth home run of the year with a solo shot to left field to extend the Otters’ lead to two.

That was just the beginning as the Otters would send 10 batters to the plate in the bottom of the third, scoring five runs.

Rizzitello hit a two-RBI double, Calabrese hit an RBI single, and J.J. Gould followed with a two-run single, giving the Otters a commanding 7-0 lead.

The five runs in the third would chase Lake Erie starter Alex Romero, who went 2.2 innings, allowing seven runs on six hits while fanning six Otters. With the loss, he falls to 2-2 with both losses coming against the Otters.

Welch would take control on the mound from there for the Otters, pitching into the seventh inning.

With runners on first and second and one out, Welch struck out Dale Burdick to record his 12th strikeout of the game. Drew Beyer would come on in relief to record the final out of the inning, forcing Racusin to fly out to Hunter Cullen in centerfield.

Welch earned the win, his second against Lake Erie, and improved his record to 4-3. Welch went 6.2 shutout innings, giving up only five hits, and finishing with a season-high 12 strikeouts.

Welch has totaled 14.2 shutout frames against the Crushers this season.

Offensively, the Otters showed a little more power in the eighth inning as Carlos Castro crushed his ninth home run of the season to push the Otters’ lead to eight. The home run extended Castro’s on-base streak to 16 consecutive games.

New Otters’ signee Cam Opp finished the game off with a clean ninth on the mound.

Fatal Crash on I-64 Near Mile Marker 22

0

During the late night of July 12th, 2019 deputies with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the westbound lanes of I-64 near mile marker 22 for a single vehicle crash. Shortly before the report of the crash a witness made a 911 call to report a black Ford F-150 truck weaving from lane to lane as it traveled west on I-64. On scene, deputies observed a single vehicle in the median that appeared to have rolled over several times. Deputies located one individual who appeared to have been ejected as the vehicle rolled over. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene by the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office.

Deputies received unconfirmed information that there was possibly a second person in the vehicle at the time of the crash. The Evansville-Vanderburgh County Emergency Management Agency assisted deputies in a thorough search of the entire area surrounding the crash site with the use of its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), but no one else could be located. The factors associated with the crash are still under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office. The identity of the deceased driver will be released by the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office.

The above pictures depict the single vehicle involved in the crash.
