Aces battle in doubleheader at Bradley

0

UE falls in both contests

 PEORIA, Ill. – A long day on the field that included a 12-inning marathon saw the University of Evansville softball team drop both games to Bradley at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex.

Game 1 – Bradley 10, UE 9 (12 innings)

In a back-and-forth contest that saw multiple rallies by each team, it was Bradley who had the final one as they took a 10-9 win in 12 innings to open the series.  Things remained scoreless through 5 ½ innings before the game took a turn in the bottom of the sixth.

Before that time, UE had multiple opportunities to get on the board.  The Purple Aces put two runners on in three of the first five innings while Miriah Powell had the first hit of the game for UE in the second.  Evansville pitcher Gracie Hollingsworth kept the Braves scoreless through the first five innings, but they broke through with three runs in the sixth.

Down to its final three outs, UE erupted for seven runs in the top of the 7th to go up 7-3.  Taylor Howe and Morgan Adams each walked while Niki Bode added a hit to load the bases with no outs.  Howe and Bode would score when Eliza Piggott hit into a fielder’s choice that resulted in a Bradley error.  Jess Willsey came to the plate and delivered a 3-run home run that gave the Aces their first advantage of the game.

Evansville continued to apply the pressure in the inning as Howe added a 2-run single that extended the lead to 7-3.  In the bottom of the frame, Bradley staged a rally of its own, scoring four times to send the game into extra innings.  Cassidy Gall entered the contest in the 8th and kept her team in the game as the teams battled to the 12th inning.

Powell delivered an RBI single while Abby Bode hit a sac fly that gave the Aces a 9-7 lead.  Once again, Bradley would storm back.  The first four batters reached to cut the deficit to one.  Hollingsworth re-entered the game and picked up two quick outs, but an error and single would give the Braves the victory.

Niki Bode had three of UE’s 12 hits in the game while Howe and Powell recorded two apiece.  Willsey led the way with three RBI.

Game 2 – Bradley 10, UE 6

Evansville took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the fifth before the Braves scored nine times on their way to a 10-6 win in game two.

Kynadee Warner led the top of the third off with a walk before stealing second.  She would cross the plate on Morgan Adams’ 2-out single.  Zoe Frossard added a sacrifice fly in the fourth that pushed lead to 2-0.

Jess Willsey continued her strong doubleheader with a 2-run double in the fifth.  Eliza Piggott and Adams scored on the play to double the lead at 4-0.  In the bottom of the inning, the Braves rallied with nine runs to take a 9-4 lead.

Despite the deficit, the Aces did not give up.  Two bases-loaded walks made it a 9-6 game in favor of the Braves heading into the bottom of the 6th.  A solo home run pushed the BU lead to 10-6 and that would be the final.  UE had two hits in the game with Willsey and Adams picking those up.  The Aces accumulated 11 walks with Frossard and Bode registering two apiece.

Sunday’s series finale is set for a 12 p.m. first pitch.

BURTON VOTES AGAINST BUDGET BILL: ‘WE NEED A BUDGET THAT REFLECTS OUR VISION, NOT JUST NUMBERS ON A SPREADSHEET’

0

 INDIANAPOLIS – Today, April 25, the Indiana General Assembly approved the final version of House Bill 1001, advancing the state’s next two-year budget to the governor’s desk. State Rep. Alex Burton (D-Evansville) voted against the bill, citing critical gaps in education, housing and support for immigrant communities.

“Hoosiers deserve better than what this legislation proposed,” Burton said. “Our focus should be on building the best pre-K through 12 school system, embracing those new to America and improving housing for all Hoosiers. These aspects are crucial in building our strongest future.”

The budget, which includes cuts to key investments and fails to meet the moment on immigration or housing infrastructure, comes at a time when Indiana’s once-boasted fiscal cushion is eroding. Despite touting $6 billion in reserves just months ago, the state has already lost $800 million since December, and economists remain uncertain about what lies ahead thanks to last week’s $2.4 billion revenue shortfall forecast.

“Instead of using our surplus to make smart, forward-looking investments, this budget backs away from bold action,” Burton said. “Now more than ever, we should be investing in families, schools and communities – not tightening the belt when so many Hoosiers are struggling to make ends meet.”

Burton has long-championed affordable housing, equitable education and policies that support newcomers to Indiana.

“We can’t afford short-sighted budgeting when the long-term health of our economy depends on the success of our people,” Burton concluded. “We need a budget that reflects our vision, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. For these reasons, I voted against this bill.”

USI takes the series opener from EIU, 13-6

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball pounded out 17 hits in winning the series opener with Eastern Illinois University, 13-6, Friday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI, which has won three-straight games, is 20-22 overall and 9-7 in the OVC, while EIU is 21-18, 9-6 OVC.
 
The Screaming Eagles spotted the Panthers leads of 3-0 and 4-1 before using a three-run fourth inning to tie the game, 4-4. Junior shortstop Clayton Slack drove in the first two runs of the frame with a single to right center, while sophomore second baseman Parker Martin drove in the tying run with a double to left center.
 
USI would take its first lead of the game, 6-4, in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI-groundout by junior designated hitter Charlie Marisca and an RBI single up the middle by junior leftfielder Hunter Miller. The Eagles would carry the two-run advantage into the sixth when they increased the margin to 7-4 when Martin scored on an RBI ground out by senior centerfielder Khi Holiday.
 
After the Panthers closed the gap to 7-5 in the top of the seventh, the Eagles pushed the lead back to 8-5 when Miller struck again with an RBI double to right center in the bottom half of the frame. USI sealed the victory with another five runs in the bottom of the eighth for the 13-6 victory.
 
Martin, Miller, and sophomore Cameron Boyd led the Eagles in the victory with three hits each. Boyd, Miller, Marisca, and Slack also tied for the team lead with two RBIs apiece.
 
On the bump, USI junior right-hander Blake Kimball got back on track with his team-best fifth win of the year. Kimball, who won for the first time in three decisions, allowed four runs on nine hits and three walks. The junior right-hander also struck out a season-high six batters.

(Week of 28 April 2025)

Pope Francis will be buried in a plain wooden coffin outside of Vatican City at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome. Six other popes are buried there also, although none after the 17th Century. St. Mary Major Basilica is not within Vatican City. Vatican City is impressive by design. Michelangelo’s La Pieta is there as is the breathtaking Sistine Chapel. The Pontifical Swiss Guards, all of whom looked to be first round NBA draft picks, are stationed in and around St. Peter’s Basilica and appear to have been chosen by their opaque facial expressions. Even non-Catholics are awed by the pomp and circumstance of Vatican City. In short, it is the antithesis of a wooden coffin. However, its ostentatiousness brings Pope Francis’ humility into sharp contrast.

The first pope I remember was Pius XII (1939-1958) who was succeeded by John XXIII (1958-1963), Paul VI (1963-1978), John Paul I (1978), John Paul II, (1978-2005), Benedict XVI (2005-2013) then Francis (2013-2025). Naturally, Francis, the most current, stands out as the best-known and most accessible to us in 2025. The modern media age makes all world leaders more ubiquitous and familiar.

But it was not the media that created Pope Francis’ character of humility and grace. The record and memory of the original Francis of Assisi guided the ecumenical kindness and inclusiveness of Pope Francis. When one travels to the town of Assisi in the Papal State of Umbria, Italy, the tomb of St. Francis has the look and feel of acceptance and equality. Pope Francis chose his name carefully.

Pope Francis appeared to open his heart to all without reservation as to status, wealth, sexuality or frailty. As Francis often said, “Who am I to judge?”; the Vicar of Christ indeed. Pope Francis dedicated his leadership of over one billion Catholics as well as his concern for countless Muslims, Jews, pagans, non-believers and other Christians to the causes of peace and human suffering throughout the earth. When the smoke from the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel turns white, it will be good for us all, Catholics, atheists and sinners of all beliefs, if a third Francis can be found to lead the way forward.

VUVB All-Region setter Libby Mehringer signs with Oakland City University

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The four-time defending Region 24 Champion Vincennes University volleyball program picked up another four-year signee earlier this week as All-Region 24 sophomore setter Libby Mehringer (Jasper, Ind.) signed her letter of intent to play next season at NAIA Oakland City University.

“I liked that Oakland City University was close to home, as well as that the coaching staff seemed like a good fit for me,” Mehringer said. “I met with some of the athletes, who were all very welcoming. My mom also played basketball at OCU and taught and coached there as well. So it felt like the right decision for me to make OCU my home for the rest of my college career.”

“I want to take a moment to talk about Libby’s offensive abilities, over her two years at VU she didn’t really have that many opportunities to attack that much but she was able to hit some both years due to injuries,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “She’s got the ability to fire the ball and put it away and she might get that opportunity at OCU. If they are able to run a six-two offense and give her a chance to hit, they will definitely not be sorry. She’s a left-handed hitter and like in most sports, but definitely volleyball, you just don’t see too many left-handed hitters.”

“She’s always had that hitting ability and when I was watching her in high school before bringing her here, that was one of the things that stood out,” Sien added. “In regards to her as a setter, she really has a good concept of the position. Her mindset and the choices that she makes and delivering the ball with accuracy, have certainly improved in her two years here. She’s got a really good understanding of who to set and where the hot hitter is and where they are at. She understands how to hold the middle blocker and she’s got good vision, she’s able to see the blocker and set away from them. She has all of those ideals and concepts of what a next level setter needs to run the type of offense that we typically have.”

“Even more importantly than her volleyball abilities, Libby has really grown these two years in being a really good teammate,” Sien said. “She has helped our other setters, especially Rylee Edwards. They both share the same major (Physical Therapy Assistant), so she was able to help Rylee on the court and academically. Oakland City is getting someone who is going to be very selfless, a real leader and someone who won’t hesitate to step up. I would like to think that anyone recruiting our athletes would get an exceptional person like that.”

Mehringer spent most of her sophomore seasons as the Trailblazers top setter and number one server.

Mehringer finished the season ranked 17th in the Nation with 829 set assists, while also finishing her sophomore campaign with 286 digs, 114 kills, second in the Nation with 91 aces and 27 blocks.

Mehringer had 20 matches this past season with 20 or more set assists, including six matches of 30 or more assists.

An explosive fifth inning and a career-high from two Purple Aces players weren’t enough to give UE a Friday night win at Hammons Field. Evansville’s offense had 12 hits to lead the game, bouncing back from a tough midweek matchup at Western Kentucky on Tuesday. Junior infielder Drew Howard (Ferdinand, Ind. / Forest Park HS) tied his career-high with three hits to lead the Aces at the plate on Friday night. While starting pitcher Kenton Deverman (Dardenne Prairie, Mo. / Fort Zumwalt West HS) set a new career-high in strikeouts, taking down 10 batters for the UE defense.
“That’s a tough one to lose to open up the weekend,” said Head Coach Wes Carroll following the game. “There were a couple of close plays that didn’t go our way, as we had great efforts on the mound from Deverman and [reliever Max] Hansmann. The effort and energy were there, but it was not enough to get the win.”
Evansville’s bats got going early at Hammons Field as infielder Cal McGinnis (Kimberly, Wis. / Bradley) had the first hit of the game. But the Aces weren’t able to bring runners home early on Friday night as they stranded five in the first three innings. Meanwhile, Missouri State took an early 3-0 lead with two hits and a run in the first inning and a two-run homer in the second.
Deverman locked in on the mound for UE, striking out at least two batters in three of the next four innings. Deverman’s performance on the mound helped Evansville blank the Bears for back-to-back innings in the third and fourth. The Aces offense then exploded in the top of the fifth, batting through the entire order to take their only lead of the night.
Howard began the inning with his second single of the game to be the first of four straight UE hits. Evansville broke the shutout on a two-RBI single through the right side from outfielder Charlie Longmeier in the third at-bat of the fifth. McGinnis also got aboard with the Aces’ fourth hit in a row for his second hit of the game.
UE’s next two batters struck out, but Evansville was able to score with two outs on the board. Designated hitter Brodie Peart (Markham, Ontario) put a single into left, scoring Longmeier for the tying run. Peart’s single was followed by a double from first baseman Jake McGhee (Fenton, Mo. / Christian Brothers Academy) to give the Aces a 5-4 lead going into the bottom of the inning.
The lead didn’t last long for UE, as back-to-back singles to begin the fifth for Missouri State became a tying sacrifice fly. Evansville’s defense turned its 26th double play of the season to get out of the inning with the game knotted up at four runs apiece. Howard picked up his third single to open the sixth inning but was picked off at first in the next at-bat. The Aces weren’t able to get another runner aboard in either the sixth or the seventh innings.
Deverman had his best inning on the mound in the bottom of the sixth. He struck out the side, taking all three Bears batters down in order with only 14 pitches.  The final out of the sixth inning for Deverman was his 10th of the game, a new career-high for the sophomore lefty. Deverman is the first UE pitcher to record 10 strikeouts in a game since Tyler Denu in 2023, also at Missouri State.
The bottom of the seventh inning began with two straight outs to right fielder Harrison Taubert (Casper, Wyo. / Northeast CC), looking to be similar to the sixth. But a double to the right corner followed by a long single to right put the Bears back in front on a close play. Evansville almost got the out at home on the fifth run, but a video review determined the tag was just behind the runner’s hand touching home plate.
Missouri State was able to add one more run in the seventh with its third hit of the inning and an error at first base. The Aces were able to get out of the inning with an infield ground out, facing a two-run deficit with only two innings left. McGhee hit his second hit of the night in the top of the eighth to take first base. But he would be the last base runner for UE as Evansville didn’t have another hit in the 6-4 loss.
Four Aces had multiple hits on the night to give UE 12 total hits in the game. Howard had three hits for the first time since February, while Longmeier, McGinnis, and McGhee had two each. Longmeier was the only batter with two RBIs while catcher Matt Flaherty (Lake Zurich, Ill. / Bellarmine) led Evansville in the field with 12 putouts.
The Aces will look to even the series on Saturday afternoon in Hammons Field. First pitch for the second game of the weekend against Missouri State is set for 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 26.
