0

The University of Southern Indiana sophomore centerfielder Bryce Krizan(Mt. Vernon, Indiana) knocked in the game-winning run in the 16th with a sacrifice fly to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 3-2 win over Trevecca Nazarene University Friday evening in Nashville, Tennessee. The Screaming Eagles move their record to 7-1 to start the year, while the Trojans go to 4-5.

The 16 innings is the most for the Eagles since the 2013 season when they went 18 innings in a 5-4 win over the University of Indianapolis.

In the 16th, USI senior designated hitter Jayden Beshears (Evansville, Indiana) was hit by a pitch and advance to second on a sac bunt by senior leftfielder LuWan Rollins (Evansville, Indana). After freshman catcher Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) was intentionally walked and sophomore shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) reached on a single that drove Beshears to third, Krizan lifted the sac fly to center for the game-winner.

USI junior left-hander Paul Perez (Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela) closed out the game to get his first win of the year. Perez scattered three hits and two walks in 4.2 innings of work, while striking out a season-high six.

The Eagles jumped out to the early with a tally in the top of the first when Krizan scored on a sac fly by senior second baseman Jacob Fleming (Evansville, Indiana). Krizan had reached on a walk and advanced into scoring position by stealing second and third.

After Trevecca Nazarene took the lead, 2-1, with a tally in the fourth and the fifth, USI knotted the game at 2-2 when Hunter doubled in Beshears with two outs. The score would remain tied, 2-2, through the end of regulation and set the stage for Krizan in the 16th.

Senior right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) started and got the no-decision. Krizan allowed two runs on seven hits and six walks, whild striking out four in seven innings of work.

Austin Krizan was followed to the mound by senior right-hander Dalton Lewis (Parker, Colorado), who threw 2/3 of an inning, allowing one hit and a walk. Junior right-hander Jacob Bowles (Mt. Washington, Kentucky) got the Eagles to the 12th, allowing one hit and striking out a career-high seven batters.

Eagles split opening day of Spring Games

USI (7-5) returns to action Sunday at 3 p.m. (CST) when it takes on No. 14 Grand Valley State University. The Eagles also play Wilmington University (Delaware) Sunday at 5:15 p.m. Both games will be carried live on 95.7 The Spin, while live stats, audio and video (FloSoftball) can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

Cedarville (4-1) 3, USI 2
The Eagles found themselves playing catchup from the start as the Yellow Jackets scored in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead.

Back-to-back doubles by junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) and junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) pulled the Eagles into a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the first, but a Cedarville run in the third inning followed by a solo home run in the sixth put USI into a 3-1 hole with two innings to play.

Schubert, who was 2-of-3 at the plate with two RBIs, hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth to get the Eagles to within a single tally, but that was as close as USI would get as the Yellow Jackets held on for the win.

Senior outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) was charged with the loss after giving up three runs, two earned, off nine hits in seven innings of work. Bradley (1-1) struck out two batters, while issuing two walks.

USI 12, Northern State (4-3) 2
Sophomore outfielder Alicia Webb (Elberfeld, Indiana) went 3-of-4 with two runs scored and a career-high four RBIs as USI’s offense exploded for 12 runs off 12 hits.

Leonhardt had a perfect game going through five-and-two-thirds innings of work and USI led 7-0 before the Wolves were able to get their first baserunner.

USI began the scoring with a pair of runs in the top of the second inning as a two-run single by Webb broke the scoreless tie.

Leonhardt and freshman utility player Kat Mueller (Evansville, Indiana) each had RBIs in a four-run fourth inning as USI extended its lead to 6-0, while an RBI-single by sophomore first baseman Haley Shouse (Borden, Indiana) put USI up 7-0 in the fifth inning.

Lawmakers Vote to Put ‘In God We Trust’ in Schools

0

March 1st, 2019 MEGAN DIVENTI KENTUCKY

Kentucky lawmakers are taking steps to put God in public schools across the state.

The State House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow the motto ‘In God We Trust’ to be displayed in public schools next year.

First stamped on a two-cent coin during the Civil War and on all U.S. coins starting in 1938, ‘In God, We Trust’ owes its debut on our bills to the Cold War. It’s a phrase we see on the back of money, but that motto could very well become prominently displayed in public schools across the Bluegrass.

Passing in the house Wednesday by a vote of 72-25, House Bill 46 calls for the motto to be shown in public elementary and secondary Kentucky schools beginning in the 2019-2020 school year.

Some parents say they support the bill.

“I’m all for God being in schools and all that. I feel like it would help things really in the whole country,” says Vikki Buckboro, supports the bill.

“It should be. Well I’m somewhat religious and I believe the man died for us you know no matter if people believe in God or not,” says Jeremy Macken, supports a bill.

The bill defines a ‘prominent location’ as a school entryway, cafeteria, or common area where students are likely to see the national motto. The display could also be in the form of a mounted plaque or student artwork.

Others feel there should be a separation.

“It’s not the state’s business and it’s not the schools business to be taking sides in this very personal decision,” says August Berkshire, opposes the bill.

Legal experts say there aren’t any penalties in place if schools don’t comply, but this could open up a lawsuit against public schools.

House Bill 46 will now move to the Kentucky Senate to be debated.
