University of Southern Indiana senior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) and junior catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) were named Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Midwest Region. The All-Region honors were the second of the year for McNamara and Brown.

McNamara, who was named to the first-team as an outfielder, has had a record-setting season for the Eagles in 2018. The senior outfielder is hitting a team-best .385 batting average with single-season records of 16 home runs and 71 RBIs.

In addition to the single-season record for home runs and RBIs, the 2018 GLVC Player of the Year and NCBWA Midwest Region Player of the Year, also set the USI career-record for home runs (32). McNamara, who was recently named the NCBWA NCAA II Player of the Week after hitting eight home runs in five games, also ranks fourth all-time at USI in total bases and RBIs; tied for fourth in hits; and fifth in doubles.

Brown, who was named the second-team as a catcher, is hitting .345 with 36 RBIs and four home runs. He also has been named first-team All-GLVC East Division and second-team NCBWA All-Midwest Region.

The Screaming Eagles continue NCAA Division II Tournament action at 8:30 p.m. this evening when they play Ashland University at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. USI is the seventh seed in the regional, while Ashland is the sixth seed.

Back-to-Back! Eagles blank Stars for second straight regional title

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball is heading back to the NCAA Division II Softball Championship Tournament after clinching its second straight Midwest Region title with a 3-0 win over No. 19 University of Illinois Springfield in game two of the Midwest Super Regional Friday.

The Screaming Eagles (36-23) used a two-out, RBI-single by sophomore outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) in the bottom of the third inning to break a scoreless tie and build a 1-0 lead.

Schubert’s double in the fifth inning put a pair of runners in scoring position for senior third baseman Mena Fulton (Bloomington, Indiana), who roped a two-run single to right-centerfield to extend the Eagles’ advantage to 3-0.

Sophomore second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) got the Eagles’ started offensively as she drew lead-off walks in the first and third innings before singling to begin the fifth frame. Sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Springfield, Illinois) had sacrifice bunts in both the first and third innings.

Leonhardt (21-12) was stellar, once again, inside the circle. After blanking the Prairie Stars (40-19) on three hits in game one on Thursday, she returned to the circle to scatter five hits throughout seven innings to notch her second straight complete-game shutout and fourth of the post-season.

The Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year as a freshman in 2017, Leonhardt finished the contest with eight strikeouts. She also broke USI Hall of Famer Karianne Osowski’s single-season school record for strikeouts (230) with her second strikeout of the day.

USI opens the 2018 NCAA II Softball Championship Thursday against an opponent to be determined. First pitch is also TBA.

JUST IN: Evansville Police Arrested Robert Ballard Jr On Attempted Murder Charges

0

Evansville Police have arrested 56-year-old Robert Ballard Jr on attempted murder charges in connection with the shooting of two women on Friday evening.

Ballard targeted the victims, who are a mother and her adult daughter, and shot them as they sat in a car. The adult daughter’s two children were in the car at the time of the shootings. The children were not injured.

Police believe Ballard had been in a relationship with the older victim and that the relationship had recently ended. She had been staying in the 1000 block of W Delaware for an unknown period of time.

An armed neighbor confronted Ballard as the shooting was happening and the two men exchanged gunfire. Officers who were nearby heard the gunfire and responded to the area. They were able to take Ballard into custody without any further gunfire. The neighbor was not injured and is considered a witness at this time. Ballard will be booked into the jail later this evening.

The two victims are currently being treated for life-threatening injuries. Anyone who has information on this incident is asked to call EPD.

AG Curtis Hill participates in White House summit on prison reform

0

At the invitation of the White House, Attorney General Curtis Hill today participated in a prison reform summit with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other state leaders.

In March, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the Federal Interagency Council on Crime Prevention and Improving Reentry. The goal is to provide previously incarcerated individuals with greater opportunities for productivity upon release from jails or prisons — thereby improving the lives of all Americans by reducing crime, enhancing public safety and increasing opportunity.

“In Indiana and across the nation, we need to better equip those who are incarcerated with the tools to lead better lives after prison,” Attorney General Hill said after today’s meetings. “I was glad to share some of the successes and lessons from Indiana’s experience in this regard, including the effectiveness of such initiatives as the TenPoint Coalition and Jail Chemical Addiction Programs. Looking to the future, Hoosiers should expect to see continued progress in these areas.”

Other state leaders taking part in today’s discussions included Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez and Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin.
