Scott, Parks lead Otters to series opening win

0
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters (15-17) slugged their way to a 12-3 win over the Washington Wild Things (19-14) on Tuesday night.

Braden Scott was sent to the mound for his seventh start of the year and began his outing strong. After a one-out hit, he struck out the last batter of the first inning to retire the side.

In the Otters’ half of the first, Dennis Pierce set the tone early, blasting his second home run of the year over the left field fence to lead it off. At the end of the first, it was 1-0 Evansville.

Washington fought back and tied it up in the second at one apiece, but that’s all they could get off of Scott who worked around some traffic.

Later on in the third, the offense picked back up. Graham Brown and JT Benson both singled with one out to set up the inning. Pavin Parks then hit a sacrifice fly to once again give Evansville the lead, 2-1. The advantage was then extended by LJ Jones, who singled on a grounder to left to score Benson and make it 3-1 Otters.

The Wild Things were shut down after scoring another in the fourth, as Scott would send it to the bottom of the inning still 3-2 Evansville.

The fourth inning was a good one for the offense. It started after Justin Felix reached on an error and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. G. Brown stood in later in the inning and hit an RBI double to score Felix. It wouldn’t stop there, as Parks and Jones hit back-to-back RBI singles to extend the lead to 7-2.

Seven wasn’t enough cushion for this offense, the fifth inning was another productive one. Pierce hit an RBI single and Parks drove in two on a double. At the end of the inning, it had opened Evansville up to a 10-2 lead.

The Otters would score in each of the next two innings, including a Parks sacrifice fly to extend his RBI total to five, and made it a 10-run lead at 12-2.

Scott would ultimately end his day after the seventh. He was phenomenal, going seven, allowing just two runs, only walking two, and striking out nine. In each of his last two outings, he has gone seven innings and recorded a new season high in strikeouts.

The bullpen would come in and take care of business in the final two innings. Nolan Thebiay struck out the side in the ninth to slam the door on the 12-3 series opening win.

Pavin Parks finished with five RBI, the most an Otter has driven in this season. The Otters pitching staff struck out 14 Washington batters in the win.

Evansville is back at it tomorrow at Bosse Field at 6:35 p.m. CT against Washington. It is Evansville Sports History Night with a special throwback Otters theme jerseys.

EPD Supervisors Charged Following Fraud Investigation

0

On June 16, 2025, Evansville Police Department (EPD) Lieutenant Stacy L. Shirley and Sergeant William (Bill) C. Shirley were each charged with Corrupt Business Influence (Racketeering), Official Misconduct and multiple counts of Fraud. The investigation began in May 2025 after concerns were raised regarding the Shirleys’ off-duty employment with the Evansville Housing Authority (EHA). Bill and Stacy were placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

It was determined that both Bill and Stacy were employed by the EHA to perform off-duty security. Bill was responsible for scheduling officers for off-duty with the EHA. The investigation found that Bill regularly reported hours he did not work. This included hours he reported while he was on duty for EPD. Stacy also reported hours she had not worked. These discrepancies were corroborated through GPS and cell phone data.

A separate investigation was also conducted into the Shirleys’ off-duty employment with Dillard’s retail store. Evidence showed that Bill frequently clocked Stacy in for shifts while she was already on duty at EPD.

These actions were verified through pay records and in-store surveillance footage. As a result of this investigation, it was also learned that Stacy regularly failed to work her full scheduled shifts for EPD. Stacy did not use paid time off to account for her absences. Due to the findings in this investigation, Bill and Stacy’s leave status has been changed to unpaid administrative leave and charges were submitted to the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s office. An arrest warrant was issued and Bill and Stacy were

given the opportunity to turn themselves in. Their employment with the Evansville Police Department will be determined by the Police Merit Commission.
