Long ball lifts Eagles to split in Florida
University of Southern Indiana Softball hit a season-high three home runs in a 7-2 Midwest Region win over Walsh University Tuesday afternoon at The Spring Games. The win gave the Screaming Eagles a split on the day after they fell to Midwest Region opponent Ashland University, 10-3, in a soggy first game.
Sophomore outfielder Alicia Webb (Elberfeld, Indiana) went a combined 4-of-6 at the plate with a double and two runs scored to lead the Eagles, offensively, while senior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) with a triple, home run and three RBIs.
The Eagles return to action Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. (CST) when they take on 2017 national champion Minnesota State University Mankato. USI also plays No. 1 Saint Anselm College Wednesday at 3 p.m. in a rematch of last year’s NCAA II National Championship Series. Both games will be aired live on 95.7 The Spin.
Ashland (6-3) 10, USI 3
After taking a 3-2 lead with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning, USI watched Ashland scored eight unanswered runs to steal the 10-3 win.
USI struck first on an RBI-triple by Johnson in the third inning, but a solo home run in the bottom of the third tied the game at 1-1. Ashland took advantage of a passed ball and a defensive miscue to score a run in the fourth and take a 2-1 lead, but a two-run fifth inning that featured an RBI-single by Johnson and a sacrifice fly by junior pitcher/third baseman Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) put the Eagles up 3-2.
Ashland, however, had a lead-off single and capitalized on an error to get two on with no outs in the last half of the fifth. An RBI-double tied the score in the next at bat, while Ashland’s Dayna Dennard hit a three-run home run to give the Ashland Eagles a 6-3 lead.
USI surrendered another run in the fifth and three more in the sixth as it suffered its third straight loss.
Leonhardt (5-3) was charged with the loss after giving up six runs, four earned, off five hits and three walks in four-plus innings of work. Wet conditions hampered her efforts throughout the contest.
USI 7, Walsh (1-9) 2
USI got two-run home runs from junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) and senior catcher Lindsey Barr(Whitesville, Kentucky) in the bottom of the first and second innings, respectively, to take a 4-2 lead over the Cavaliers.
A solo home run by Johnson to lead off the fifth followed by a sacrifice fly senior outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) later in the frame extended USI’s lead to 6-2; while an RBI, pinch-hit single by freshman pitcher Elissa Brown(Brownsburg, Indiana) in the sixth wrapped up the scoring.
Bradley (2-2) earned the complete-game win after giving up two runs off nine hits in seven innings of work.

To accomplish, the office focuses on three objectives:
- First, coordinate efforts and partner with the U.S. Department of Labor to expand registered apprenticeships.
- Second, develop flexible and scalable programs that focus on the state’s key economic sectors and regional high-wage, high-demand occupations.
- Third, build public-private partnerships to increase business and industry engagement with education systems.
AG Curtis Hill urges Congress to take action against robocalls
Attorney General Curtis Hill today urged the U.S. Senate to enact the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) Act, legislation to curb illegal robocalls and spoofing. A coalition of 54 attorneys general sent a letter to the U. S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation supporting the TRACED Act. The legislation is sponsored by Sens. John Thune, R-S.D., Â and Ed Markey, D-Mass.
“Everyone deserves to be able to enjoy peace and privacy without the interruption of unwanted calls,†Attorney General Hill said. “We need stronger measures aimed at stopping illegal robocalling. This legislation would be a definite step in the right direction.â€
In their letter, the attorneys general state that the TRACED Act enables states, federal regulators and telecom providers to take steps to combat these illegal calls. The legislation will require voice service providers to participate in a call authentication framework to help block unwanted calls and creates an interagency working group to take additional actions to reduce robocalls and hold telemarketers and robocallers accountable.
More than 48 billion robocalls were made in 2018, making them the number one source of consumer complaints to the FTC and the FCC and resulting in millions in consumer losses. The state attorneys general work to enforce do-not-call laws and protect consumers in their states from being harassed and scammed by robocalls.
Attorney General Hill is joined in sending this letter by the attorneys general of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories.
