Griffin, McNamara lead Eagles in 12 inning upset of Bellarmine

0

University of Southern Indiana senior right-hander Kyle Griffin (Morganfield, Kentucky) threw five dominating relief innings and senior leftfielder/first baseman Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) established a new single-season RBI record to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 12-inning upset victory over Bellarmine University, 9-7, in the first round of the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. USI, the seventh seed, watched its record go to 33-21 overall, while Bellarmine, the second seed, ends game with a 37-18 mark.

The Eagles, with the win, advances to play the winner of the Northwood University-Ashland University game at 8:30 p.m. Friday night. Northwood, who is the third seed, and Ashland, who is the sixth seed, are slated to match-up in the 8:30 p.m. contest tonight.

USI opened regional play by exploding for five run in the first four frames of the game. McNamara ignited the scoring with a RBI-single to make the score, 1-0, and tie the USI single-season record for RBIs with his 70th of the season (Brad Vance had 70 RBIs during the Eagles’ 2010 national championship run.). Senior first baseman/pitcher Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) followed McNamara with a RBI-sacrifice fly to increase the lead to 2-0 after a half of an inning.

The margin was extended to 3-0 in the second on a RBI-single by junior second baseman Jacob Fleming(Evansville, Indiana). The Eagles reached the 5-0 mark in the top of the fourth when senior rightfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Kentucky) knocked in a pair of runners with a two-run single.

After the Knights got a tally in the bottom of the fourth, the Eagles bounced back to get the run back in the top of the fifth on a RBI-single by freshman centerfielder Bryce Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) to put the margin at 6-1. Bellarmine, however, responded with three runs in the sixth and three in the seventh to take a 7-6 lead after seven.

Fleming would strike again in the top of the eighth when he knocked in freshman shortstop Ethan Hunter(Terre Haute, Indiana) with a RBI-ground out to knot the game at 7-7 and set the stage for the extra frames.

In the 12th, Hunter singled in senior third baseman Ben Griggs (Evansville, Indiana) with eventual game-winning run before McNamara sealed the victory with an RBI-double for his record-breaking 71st RBI of the season to give the Eagles a 9-7 lead.

Bellarmine, however, was not about to go quietly in the bottom of the 12th. The Knights loaded the bases with no-one out before Griffin set them down with a striking out and a double play to finish the game.

On the mound, Griffin (6-3) was dominating in five inning of relief work after coming in to start the eighth with the game tied, 7-7. He scattered two hits and two walks, while striking a staggering 10 batters.

USI senior right-hander Devin Williams (Evansville, Indiana) started the game for the Eagles and got the no-decision after going 4.1 innings. Williams, who allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out four, was followed to the mound by senior right-hander Nick Coudret (Newburgh, Indiana) and Gobert before the entrance of Griffin in the eighth.

IS IT TRUE MAY 18, 2018

10

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

IS IT TRUE that yesterday the Courier and Press published an article on the best places in Evansville to go poop?…it makes one wonder why print media is dying when the lead story is about luxury crappers?

IS IT TRUE we are told that the acting Director of ECHO HOUSING may be presenting some of the initial findings of the forensic audit results at the next City Council meeting?  …if that happens we expect that the forensic audit report won’t be something to write home about?  …you better get ready for the political spin doctors to work their magic by trying to convince us that everything is ok with the ECHO Housing audit?
IS IT TRUE we been told that longtime Democrat Steve Melcher has decided to become a Republican so he can run for an At-Large City Council seat in the 2019 city election?  … Mr. Melcher lost the last two elections he ran in?  …Mr. Melcher has served our community well in public office for the last 25 years? …we hope that Mr. Melcher will understand the possibility of his getting elected to another political office at this stage of the game are extremely slim?
IS It TRUE we have been told by reliable sources that 4th Ward Councilwoman Connie Robinson’s openly supported Mariama Wilson for Pigeon Township Trustee in the Democratic primary race? …we were also told that Connie Robinson helped MS. Wilson put together a group of volunteers that helped her win the Democratic primary for Piegon Township Trustee?
IS IT TRUE we have been informed that Johnny Kincaid the Republican candidate for Knight Township Trustee hasn’t filed his campaign report for the Republican primary?
IS IT TRUE yesterday we were sent a copy of an e-mail post we found extremely perplexing?  …this e-mail was a copy of a Facebook post that was allegedly made by Knight Township Trustee candidate Johnny Kincaid?  …the post said: “Last week my dog passed away, I became unemployed, and I closed my church”.  “I think I have the makings of a good county song going”?  … we believe that Knight Township Trustee candidate Johnny Kincaid had to be kidding about the issues he posted on his Facebook account last week?

IS IT TRUE we are told that there is a group of parents who are upset about how the Vanderburgh County School Corporation treat the low-income and minority students?  …we are told that some parents of economically disadvantaged students are wondering if the EVSC educational priorities include helping kids who don’t have the support of loving parents in a stable household?  …we predict that this is a developing story?

IS IT TRUE we are wondering what is the status of the EVSC golf course that they purchased last year? …we wonder if this golf course is also being used as a facility for area high school golf practices and tournaments?  …we also wonder if this golf course is making a profit for the EVSC?
IS IT TRUE we wonder how many two bedrooms Habitat type homes that ECHO Housing could have built with a $6 million dollars State grant earmarked for providing housing for the homeless and economically disadvantaged of the Northmain area? …the answer is around 100 homes?
IS IT TRUE we wonder about the status of the plans for ECHO Housing to turn a vacant warehouse at 101 N. Garvin St. into 27 one-bedroom units of housing for the chronically homeless.  …the project is expected to cost $6.1 million?
 IS IT TRUE that the former ECHO Housing Executive Director Stephanie TenBarge said, “that her organization will commission a “Mural” to be painted on the side of the 101 N. Garvin St. building?  …we remember when the former ECHO HOUSING  Executive Director commissioned another “Mural” to be painted on the side of a warehouse building located just behind the McDonalds restaurant located on North Main and the Lloyd Expressway?
IS IT TRUE we recall when the former Executive Director of ECHO Housing declared that the North Main Street “Mural” will enhance the opportunity of bringing economic development to the North Main Jacobsville area? …we urge you to drive to the North Main McDonalds and look at the building directly behind it so you can see if this “Mural” would motivate you to locate a business on North main street?
IS IT TRUE we wonder if Executive Director of DMD and ERC Board of Directors would spend their personal money the same way they spend our tax dollars?  …we bet you know the answer to this question?
 IS IT TRUE that yesterday County Commissioner Ben Shoulders denied that one of his favorite things he enjoys is eating fish tacos and drinking slushies at TACO TIERRA?  …all you have to do is go to TACO TIERRA on Friday at noon or Saturday during dinner time and you will find out if this statement is true or not?
Todays “Readers Poll”  question is: DO YOU CARE IF PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A PORN STAR?

Right now more than a hundred inmates from Vanderburgh County are staying at other jails in the Tri-State. Sheriff Wedding says he’s looking forward to the meeting.

“This is a really good time for people to get together and discuss the problems that we face here in Indiana and work towards a resolution,” says Wedding.

The sheriff’s office says officials with the governor’s and attorney general’s office, as well as the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Corrections will attend the meeting set for May 21st.

It’s one of several planned across the Hoosier state.

Alcoa Looking to Fill 275 Positions For Aluminum Smelter

MAY 17TH, 2018 TYRONE MORRIS INDIANA, NEWBURGH

Alcoa in Newburgh is now hiring workers as it gets ready to restart its aluminum smelter this summer. The company closed the smelter in Warrick County two years ago putting 600 people out of work.

Last year, Alcoa announced plans to restart three of the five smelter lines. They’re looking to fill 275 positions for the rolling mill that makes aluminum for food and beverage packaging.

Alcoa says it is recalling all former employees to see if they’re interested in working at the smelter again.
