Aces Baseball grinds out series opening win over Indiana State
The University of Evansville baseball team got back into Missouri Valley Conference play in winning fashion, grinding out a hard-fought 6-2 victory over that arch-rivals to the north, Saturday night at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
“I’m just so proud of our team”, said University of Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. “That was a championship effort from the pitching, to the defense, to the grind-it-out at-bats.”
The Sycamores grabbed a quick 1-0 in the second inning, however that would be the only blemish on the Aces’ junior starting pitcher Adam Lukas through the first five innings. However his counterpart, unbeaten Triston Polley, kept the UE bats at bay through the first four frames.
Still trailing 1-0 in the fifth, the Aces went to work, drawing three walks to load up the bases. Polley would come back to issue a fourth free pass to senior designated hitter Nate Reeder, forcing in freshman second basemen Danny Borgstrom, knotting the game at 1.
Indiana State would answer back in the top of the sixth inning, but it wouldn’t last. In the bottom of the frame, freshman right fielder A.J. Fritz took the first pitch he saw from Polley and launched his team-leading fifth home run of the season to lead off the inning. The solo shot knotted the game up at two, and ended Polley’s night. However, the Aces’ bats were no kinder to the Sycamores’ bullpen. First, senior third baseman Sam Troyer parlayed a walk, a pair of stolen bases and a throwing error into the go-ahead tally. Then, another error set up junior shortstop Craig Shepherd, who delivered with an RBI single, giving Evansville a 4-2 advantage. The Aces would tack on two more tallies in the seventh on a wild pitch, which scored sophomore first baseman Tanner Craig, and senior left fielder Matthew Jones delivered a sacrifice fly, which would bring home freshman right field A.J. Fritz.
Freshman reliever Michael Parks would take over for Lukas, who went six innings allowing just two runs on five hits, while striking out five. The young southpaw would take it the rest of the way, striking out the side in order in the seventh, and go on to toss three scoreless innings to earn his fifth save of the season, while Lukas picked up his fifth victory, moving to 5-3 on the season. Aaron Cross took the loss for ISU, dropping to 2-1 on the year.
The victory improves Evansville record to 19-15 overall and more importantly, 6-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Meanwhile, Indiana State drops to 27-9 overall, and 4-3 in the MVC.
The series wraps up Sunday with the Aces and Sycamores squaring off in a weather-induced doubleheader. First pitch is set for 12 p.m. at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
Three Evansville Men Arrested for Late Night Robbery
- The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has arrested three Evansville men for their alleged involvement in a late night robbery that occurred just before midnight on April 19th, 2019. At 11:30 PM on Friday evening, Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 1900 block of Wolverine Drive as a victim reported to have been robbed. The victim reported that several known male suspects pushed their way into the residence and assaulted her before fleeing in a vehicle with some of her belongings.
Sheriff’s deputies later located the vehicle in the area of Lafayette Avenue and Richardt Avenue and were able to take two of the three suspects into custody at that time. One of the suspects, Aaron Lester, chose to fight with the deputies who were attempting to lawfully arrest him and was additionally charged for resisting arrest. The second suspect, Skylar Dillard, was arrested without incident and both were taken to the Vanderburgh County Jail where they were housed for multiple charges stemming from the robbery. Deputies located the stolen items inside of the vehicle during the road side stop. During the investigation deputies determined that the third suspect, Tyrone Clay, had already been dropped off at his residence on Evansville’s southeast side.
Deputies went to Clay’s residence and observed him through an open window. Clay was given numerous warnings to exit the residence, but refused to comply with the deputies’ orders. Due to his refusal to peacefully surrender, a Sheriff’ Office K-9 was used to apprehend Clay. Clay was treated for minor injuries and was transported to the jail after his release from the hospital.
Dillard, Lester and Clay were booked into the jail for charges stemming from the robbery. All three individuals were charged for being in possession of narcotics at the time of their arrests. Lester and Clay were also charged for resisting law enforcement.

“READERS FORUM” APRIL 21, 2019
We hope that today’s “READERS FORUMâ€Â will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way.
HERE’S WHAT’S ON OUR MIND TODAY
Over several years, government watchdog groups have expressed concerns that changes made to casino gaming laws were seemingly motivated by donations to the right political persons or political groups.  We wonder why one of these governmental watchdog groups hasn’t asked the proper law enforcement authorities to look into any possible wrongdoing by anyone involved in the writing of the recently approved casino legislation.
The only local State Representative who voted against the controversial gaming bill was Ryan Hatfield (D) from Evansville.
Oh, please take time and read the new “LEFT JAB, RIGHT JAB†article, sit back, and watch CCO posters Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden intellectually slug it out on national issues that might interest you.
WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND TODAY?
Todays “Readers’ Poll†question is: Do you feel that some influence peddling was involved in the passing of the new Casino law?
