UE takes 5-4 win over Phoenix
 Ashleigh Downing and Katie McLean had stellar outings to lead the University of Evansville softball team to a 5-4 victory over Green Bay in Sunday’s finale of the Total Control Sports Invitational in Rosemont, Ill.
McLean went 1-4 with a pair of runs and RBIs. Downing tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings giving up just one hit to earn the win.
Green Bay opened the scoring with a run in the top of the first before Evansville tied the score with a single run in the bottom of the third. McLean reached on a fielder’s choice before advancing to third on a double by Eryn Gould. Bailee Bostic reached on an error, which allowed McLean to score the tying run.
In the top of the fourth, the Phoenix took the lead right back with three runs. The score remained 4-1 in favor of Green Bay until the bottom half of the sixth when Evansville took the lead for good.
Allison Daggett reached on a leadoff single before Toni Galas got on base via an error.Haley Woolf reached on a walk to load the bases. With one out, Mackenzie McFeron grounded out to second to bring Galas home. Evansville continued to rally with two outs as McLean notched a 2-RBI double to tie the game up at four. The winning run for UE crossed the plate when Lindsay Renneisen drew a bases loaded walk.
From there, Downing shut the door on Green Bay in the top of the seventh to give Evansville the win. Downing threw the final 3 2/3 frames and gave up just one hit. Izzy Vetter made the start, going two innings and giving up one run. Emily Lockhart was in the circle for 1 1/3 innings.
As a team, the Aces notched five hits. McLean, Gould, Bostic, Daggett and Woolf had the hits.
No. 1 University of Southern Indiana Softball concluded the final day of the UAH Charger Chillout with another split. The Screaming Eagles defeated the University of Montevallo, 5-4, in their opener, before falling to Georgia College, 1-0, in the nightcap.
Junior shortstop Taylor Ricketts (Georgetown, Kentucky) went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored to lead the Eagles at the plate, while junior outfielder Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) drove in a team-high three runs.
#1 USI 5, Montevallo (7-2) 4
USI (2-4) scored three times in the top of the first inning to take a 3-0 lead over the Falcons. Freshman first baseman Kat Mueller (Evansville, Indiana) had an RBI-single to put the Eagles on the board, while Bradley followed with a two-run triple.
Montevallo cut into the Eagles’ cushion with a run in the bottom of the first frame, but a lead-off single by Ricketts followed by a two-out error three batters later allowed the Eagles to increase their lead to 4-1.
The Falcons, once again, cut into USI’s advantage with runs in the fifth and sixth innings, but a lead-off double in the seventh inning by junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) followed by a sacrifice fly by Bradley two batters late gave USI a crucial two-run advantage.
Montevallo scored another run in the seventh to get to within 5-4, but Leonhardt was able to get out of the jam to preserve the victory.
Leonhardt (2-1) earned the win in the circle for USI after scattering four runs, three earned, off seven hits throughout seven innings. She had six strikeouts and four walks on the day.
Georgia College (6-4) 1, USI 0
A first-inning run proved to be the difference-maker as the Bobcats held the Eagles off the scoreboard. Georgia College pitcher Rebecca Lawrence held the Eagles to just four hits, while recording eight strikeouts as USI was shutout for the first time since losing to the University of Illinois Springfield, 6-0, March 30, 2018.
A bright spot for the Eagles was the effort of freshman pitcher Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana), who held the Bobcats off the scoreboard throughout four-and-two-thirds innings of work. Back, who entered the circle with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the second inning, allowed just three hits and one walk to a team that scored 20 runs in its previous outing. She finished with five strikeouts.
Freshman pitcher Elissa Brown (Brownsburg, Indiana) was charged with the loss after giving up one run off two hits and four walks in her first collegiate start. Brown (0-1) finished with a pair of strikeouts in one-and-a-third innings of work.
Up next
The Eagles return to action February 22-24 when they host the Midwest Region Crossover at Deaconess Sports Park in Evansville, Indiana.
FY 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) worked in collaboration with state and tribal programs to assure compliance with federal environmental laws. In doing so, EPA focused its enforcement and compliance resources in areas that will have a major environmental or human health impact, support the integrity of our environmental regulatory programs, create a deterrent effect, or promote cleanups.
“A strong enforcement and compliance assurance program is essential to achieving positive public health and environmental outcomes,†said Assistant Administrator of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Susan Bodine. “In fiscal year 2018, we continued our focus on expediting site cleanup, deterring noncompliance, and returning facilities to compliance with the law, while respecting the cooperative federalism structure of our nation’s environmental laws.â€
EPA’s Enforcement and Compliance program also established National Compliance Initiatives (NCIs). EPA’s NCIs focus federal enforcement and compliance resources on the objectives of EPA’s Strategic Plan.
In addition to the NCIs, EPA has made reduction of children’s exposure to lead a priority. EPA’s lead paint enforcement activities in FY 2018 are summarized here. The EPA also negotiated over 30 enforcement actions at sites with lead contamination. More information on the Agency’s enforcement activities related to lead.
