EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana senior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) hit a pair of home runs and junior second baseman Jacob Fleming (Evansville, Indiana) drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 6-5 victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis Tuesday evening at the USI Baseball Field. USI watched its record go to 26-18 overall, while UMSL end the non-conference game, 19-27.

USI jumped out to a 2-0 lead on McNamara’s first inning home run and a third inning sacrifice fly before UMSL rebounded with one in the fourth and three in the top of the fifth to lead 4-2. McNamara struck again in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run blast to center to tie the game, 4-4.

Overall for the game, McNamara finished the contest two-for-two, both home runs, two runs scored, a sacrifice fly, and four RBIs.

After the Tritons regained a one-run advantage, 5-4, in the top of the seventh, USI junior catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) scored the 5-5 equalizer from second base on a wild pitch that ricocheted into the UMSL dugout. Brown moved into scoring position after walking and moving to second on a sacrifice by freshman shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana).

The Eagles got out of a second-and-third one-out jam in the ninth when senior right-hander Nick Coudret(Newburgh, Indiana) got a strike out and a ground out to end the frame and set the stage for Fleming in the bottom half of the inning.

In the bottom of the ninth, freshman centerfielder Bryce Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) walked with one out and stole second base to get into scoring position. Fleming finished off the win with a game-winning double on a blooper to right to score Krizan from second.

On the mound, Coudret (5-2) picked up his team-best fifth win of the year, going one inning and striking  out one.

Eagles’ sophomore right-hander Jacob Bowles (Mt. Washington, Kentucky) started and got a no-decision. Bowles allowed four runs, three earned on eight hits, while striking out two. Sophomore right-hander Tyler Hagedorn (Evansville, Indiana) followed Bowles to the bump, allowing a run on two hits and striking out five, while junior left-hander Dalton Lewis (Parker, Colorado) allowed a hit in one-plus innings of work.

USI finishes the 2018 regular season next weekend when it visits the University of Indianapolis for a Friday and Sunday four-game series. The first half of the series was moved up from Saturday to Friday due the UIndy graduation. First pitch for Friday and Sunday is slated for 11 a.m. (CDT) each day.

The Eagles lead the all-time series with the Greyhounds, 54-52, after sweeping a four-game set at the USI Baseball Field in 2017.

Rising Fuel Prices Could Cause Surge in Airfare

1

APRIL 30TH, 2018 TYRONE MORRIS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

If you’re flying American Airlines out of Evansville you could be paying more thanks to those rising fuel prices.

American Airlines CEO Doug Parker says if that trend continues flyers will likely pay higher ticket prices.

American’s first-quarter profits were down and the company is paying 40 cents a gallon more for fuel now than it was a year ago.

The airline also cut its forecast of profit for 2018 to between five and six dollars per share down 50 cents from January.

Evansville Otters Signed Catcher Dylan Hamel And Right-Handed Pitcher Christian Meister


0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters signed catcher Dylan Hamel and right-handed pitcher Christian Meister.Hamel, a Hendersonville, N.C. native, arrives in Evansville after playing for Appalachian State University from 2015-17.

“Dylan had a good showing at our Allentown camp earlier this year and followed it up with a good workout at the Frontier League camp,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “He’ll be competing for our backup catcher role.”

With Appalachian State, Hamel appeared in 32 games and had an on-base percentage of .284.

Meister, a Federal Way, Wash. native, was drafted in the 29th round of the 2015 MLB Amateur Draft by the Cleveland Indians organization out of Green River Community College.

In the Indians system from 2015-16, Meister appeared in 42 games and went 4-3 with a 4.10 ERA. He pitched 79 innings in affiliated baseball and struck out 58 batters.

“We heard some good reports from a workout Christian threw for the (San Diego) Padres,” McCauley said. “We are hoping he shows some of that in our camp.”

In other transaction news, Evansville traded draft pick Cody Clark to the Joliet Slammers for a player to be named later.

Evansville will celebrate Bosse Field’s Opening Night May 11 against the Washington Wild Things at 6:35 p.m.

AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

College graduations are taking place here and across the country after which tens of thousands of graduates hope to get right into their field of choice.

So how easy will it be to get that big job? We talked with some students here at the University of Southern Indiana, and the University of Evansville, and took a look at national trends to find out why has the better chance of getting a job after graduation.

Across our area, thousands of students, armed with degrees from a myriad of disciplines; business, education, science, and technology to mention a few, but will the years of their hard work and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their degree lead to a bright future?

Better yet, a well paying job?

It is a question that for many an answer won’t come fast enough.

“I had put 172 applications out since April.”

“Whew… over 100, i can say over 100.”

“10 or 15 every week just trying to keep it updated, and then i actually got a job from somebody i met out and about.”

At the University of Southern Indiana, graduates like Michael Reed, Nick Faith, Allison Meyer, and Collin Runnion say they aren’t worried about what’s next because they say they have done their research.

“With the technology advancements, jobs that are manually being done are being taken away by automation, more technical jobs are needed and not so much those types of jobs so i mean graphics, arts, and all those jobs definitely are out there but nobody goes into an engineering program worrying about getting a job when they get out.”

What works for some students, wont necessarily bear fruit for others, thats why a dose of creative thinking and ultimately a creative action plan is a must.

There an old adage that says “he who hesitates is lost.”

It’s a saying thats survived the test of time.

That’s why students like Michael Reed wanted to get a jump on the competition.

“I started applying in October, you know it gets a little stressful when you don’t hear anything back for a while.”

Here is a look at the numbers and what graduates may be up against.

You have to look ahead to understand.

The United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics projected 20 occupations with the highest possibility of employment between 2016-26.

The biggest bang for your buck will be in the areas of energy, health, and math, all at the top of the bureaus list.

If you are looking for a job where you are going to get a job straight out many students in the Tri-State say the technical field is your best bet.

“Engineering or computer science, both of those fields pay pretty well and there is a huge demand for those jobs.”

And education, “a lot of teachers are still being asked for out in the education field,” says Reed.

While research shows the medical field to be promising for graduates right after graduation, they are not convinced it’s as easy as it seems.

“I have a couple of family members who are on the medical side of things and they are looking more into continuing with grad school and that seems just as hard trying to find a good grad school than it is with trying to find a good job,” says Faith.

Other students are still trying to figure out their first big career move.

“A couple of the seniors that i am graduating with are still you know, don’t know what they are doing after graduation,” says Meyers.

While that’s certainly not what any parent wants to hear from their graduating student, the forecast for employment seems to be headed in a positive direction for college graduates.

Billboard campaign targets Brooks, Hollingsworth for tax vote

0

By Quinn Fitzgerald
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS–An advocacy group called Not One Penny has unveiled billboards in 30 congressional districts criticizing Republican lawmakers, including U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Carmel, and U.S. Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-Jeffersonville, for their support of tax cut legislation passed late last year.

“There are a lot of different moving pieces about the bill that we find really bad,” said Tim Hogan, spokesperson for Not One Penny.

For one, members of Congress who promoted and voted for President Donald Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act stand to benefit substantially from the pass-through tax break, according to a new analysis by the Center for American Progress Action Fund––an independent, nonpartisan policy institute and advocacy organization.

Additionally, the Tax Policy Center found that 92 million middle-income families across America will pay more in taxes, while the richest 0.1 percent will get a nearly $150,000 tax break from the law.

Hogan said that because the plan repeals a mandate in the Affordable Care Act, 13 million Americans will lose access to affordable health care. They will also see a 10 percent increase in health insurance premiums.

Not One Penny is a national coalition of 62 organizations––such as MoveOn.org and Citizens for Tax Justice––that fought against the Trump’s tax law as it was working its way through the legislative process last year. Now, they are campaigning against some Republicans who voted for the legislation.

The coalition’s billboard campaign aims to show how each member is benefitting from the new tax law at the expense of American families. The billboard targeting Brooks states that she “gave herself up to a $106,500 tax break.” Hollingsworth has been called out for receiving a $4,556,500 tax break. The numbers are based on a recently-released study by CAPAF.

“They’re lining their pockets while raising taxes on the middle class,” Hogan said. “They should be called out for putting themselves ahead of their constituents.”

Hogan said he hopes the billboards educate the public about the negative impact of the legislation.

Brooks and Hollingsworth were unavailable to comment.

USI Softball faces UIndy in GLVC Tourney

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Softball opens Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament play Thursday at noon when it takes on the No. 3 seed, University of Indianapolis, in the opening round at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois.

The Screaming Eagles (27-22) enter this week’s tournament as the No. 6 seed after finishing the regular-season in a three-way tie for fifth with Truman State University and William Jewell College.

Truman had the tie-breaker between the three teams to earn the fifth seed, while the Eagles held the tie-breaker over William Jewell.

USI’s next win also will be USI Head Coach Sue Kunkle’s 500th career victory at the helm of the Eagles program. She is currently 499-360-1 (.581) throughout her 17-year career at USI.

Live stats and GLVC Sports Network coverage for all of the games this weekend can be found at GoUSIEagles.com.

USI Softball Notes
• Recapping last week. USI Softball began the week with a doubleheader sweep of Missouri-St. Louis before suffering a doubleheader sweep to No. 25 McKendree.

• Last week’s leaders. Junior catcher Lindsey Barrled USI with a .417 batting average, a double, home run and four RBIs this past weekend, while senior outfielder Olivia Clark-Kittleson hit .364 with a run scored. Sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt went 1-1 in the circle with a 1.83 ERA, 18 strikeouts and a .186 opponent batting average.

• Season leaders (at the plate). Senior third baseman Mena Fulton leads the team with a .364 batting average and is second on the team with 10 doubles. Sophomore outfielder Allison Schubert is hitting .344 with a team-best 11 doubles, 11 home runs and 37 RBIs, while junior second baseman Clarie Johnson is hitting .317 with six doubles, seven triples, four home runs and 20 RBIs.

• Season leaders (in the circle). Leonhardt continues to lead the Eagles with a 14-11 overall record, a 2.80 ERA, a .214 opponent batting average and 181 strikeouts on the year. Junior pitcher Haylee Smith is 5-5 with a 3.28 ERA, while junior pitcher Courtney Atkisson is 7-5 with a 3.28 ERA and a .292 opponent batting average.

• USI vs. GLVC-only competition. Fulton is hitting a blistering .405 with seven doubles, four home runs and 15 RBIs in GLVC play this year; while Leonhardt is 10-5 with a 2.18 ERA, a GLVC-best 118 strikeouts and .195 opponent batting average.

• Senior Day. USI honored its four seniors—Fulton, Clark-Kittleson, first baseman Marleah Fossett and infielder Alex Logan—following Sunday’s doubleheader against McKendree.  The Eagles’ senior class has posted a 147-68 overall record and a 77-35 mark in GLVC play. USI’s senior class is five wins shy of becoming the all-time winningest class in program history–the 2001 senior class won 152 games, while the 2000 class won 146 games–and is trying to become the first class in program history to advance to four NCAA Division II Tournaments.

• USI in the regional rankings. The Eagles held their spot at No. 7 in the latest NCAA Division II Midwest Region Rankings. USI is one of seven GLVC teams in this week’s rankings, with No. 17 Illinois Springfield leading the way at No. 2. Grand Valley State is No. 1, followed by UIS, Indianapolis (3), McKendree (4), Missouri-St. Louis (5) and Saginaw Valley State (6). William Jewell (8) was behind USI, followed by Ashland (9) and Truman State (10).

• USI in the GLVC Tournament. The Eagles are making their fourth straight trip to the GLVC Tournament and fifth in the last six years. USI was third in the GLVC Tournament in 2016 and finished fifth a year ago. USI went 6-8 during the regular season against the GLVC Tournament Field this year.

• Kunkle closing in on milestone. Head Coach Sue Kunkle is just one win shy of becoming the first coach in USI history to reach the 500-win plateau. She is currently 499-360-1 (.581) all-time during her 17-year career at the helm of the Eagles.

• Leonhardt earns GLVC Pitcher of Week honors.Leonhardt claimed her fourth-career GLVC Pitcher of the Week award and first of the 2018 campaign following her efforts in USI’s wins over Rockhurst and William Jewell earlier this season. She was 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA, 19 strikeouts and a .163 opponent batting average in 13 2/3 innings of work.

• Schubert joins elite club. Schubert is the eighth player in program history to hit 10 or more home runs in a single season. Her 11 home runs in 2018 are currently tied for fifth on USI’s single-season list.
• Hitting streaks. Fulton saw her 10-game hitting streak come to an end in USI’s game-one loss to McKendree Sunday. She also had a nine-game hitting streak earlier in the year. Leonhardt and Johnson each have hit safely in the last three games, while Leonhardt is trying to become the ninth player this year to record a hitting streak of at least five games for the Eagles. Johnson’s 11-game hitting streak was the longest of the year.

• Record book watch. Several USI players are in the USI career record books:
–Caitlyn Bradley is fifth all-time in hit-by-pitches (16) and tied for 17th in home runs (12);
–Marleah Fossett is second all-time in hit-by-pitches (29), third in putouts (994), tied for 14th in home runs (13) and 15th in RBIs (85);
–Mena Fulton is first all-time in hit-by-pitches (32);

–Jennifer Leonhardt is fifth in strikeouts (372), tied for fifth in wins (43), is tied for sixth in shutouts (14) and is ninth in innings pitched (378.2);
–Allison Schubert is tied for 14th in home runs (13).
