Gobert named Academic All-District 4

0

University of Southern Indiana senior utility player Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) was named Google Cloud Academic All-District 4 as an infielder by the College Sports Information Directors of America. The award is the first of Gobert’s two-year career and the 11th Eagle baseball player to be honored with the academic award since 2004.

To be eligible for the Capital One Academic All-America program, the student athlete must be a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials and at least a 3.3 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). They must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at the institution (true freshmen, red-shirt freshmen and first-year athletic transfers are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at the institution.

Gobert, a USI master of science candidate in sport management and holder of a bachelor’s degree from the University in sport management, is third on the team with a .355 batting average and second on the squad with 45 RBIs. The All-GLVC East Division first baseman also leads the team and ranks second in the GLVC with 21 doubles.

On the mound, Gobert is tied for second on the team with four wins (4-2 overall) appearing 11 times this season on the bump. The senior, who has seen action this year at third base, first base, left field, and designated hitter, also struck out 30 batters in 33.1 innings of work.

The Eagles and Gobert continue action in the GLVC Tournament today when they play the University of Illinois Springfield, who is ranked second nationally and the top seed from the conference’s East Division. USI entered tournament play Thursday as the third seed from the East.

ENOUGH SUGGESTIONS, ALREADY By Jim Redwine

ENOUGH SUGGESTIONS, ALREADY

Those few of you who actually read this column on a regular basis will recall my completely justified response to Peg’s destruction of my weekend by sentencing me to help her haul, open and spread 120 fifty-pound bags of brown mulch at JPeg Ranch. You might say, “Well, Peg worked too”. But you see, Peg lives for such opportunities so to her it is not work. On the other hand, as for me, a ball game viewed from the couch is a more appropriate way to spend a Saturday.

I was quite astonished and even a little hurt when several readers of last week’s article weighed in with suggestions on what I should do with the mulch. It surprised me that everyone who responded so uncharitably sided with Peg. After all, she was the one responsible for the mulch being there in the first place. I will relate a few of the unkind, and even inappropriate, suggestions.

Neighbors, who need not be named as we only have two, came over during the mulching marathon last weekend and instead of offering sweat offered advice. “Why don’t you just put all the bags out while Peg is planting the garden and the new flowers?” I did not respond what I was thinking but chose to just pretend I heard nothing.

Then at Sara’s Harmony Way Coffee Shop on Sunday morning Barb Mc Connell who had been the initial instigator of the mulch acquisition from the New Harmony Garden Club asked Peg about the progress of the mulching program which gave Peg an opportunity in front of the entire round table crowd to point out my poor attitude.

Then I received an email from the Posey County Jail referencing the previous article and making a rather rude suggestion of what I could do with the mulch. How do those people access the Internet anyway?

But, as is often the case with my big sister who read the article from the safety of her home in Missouri, Janie took Peg’s side again. Janie, who was always allowed by our parents to lord it over her three brothers, first mentioned that Peg was just trying to beautify JPeg Ranch for our grandson’s upcoming wedding. Then she sarcastically suggested if I was too lazy to properly spread the mulch before the wedding I could just cover the piles with white satin.

USI’s Johnson earns Academic All-District

0

The University of Southern Indiana Softball junior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) was named to the Google Cloud Academic All-District IV team in a vote by the sports information directors in the NCAA Division II Midwest Region.

Johnson, who advances onto the Academic All-America ballot, is earning Academic All-District accolades for the first time in her career after compiling a 3.85 grade point average in exercise science and kinesiology.

On the field, Johnson is currently hitting .315 with six doubles, seven triples, four home runs and 21 RBIs. She has helped lead the Screaming Eagles to a 32-22 overall record and to their first Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament crown since 1998.

USI is scheduled to play Hillsdale College today in the second round of the NCAA Division II Midwest Region #1 Tournament Friday in Allendale, Michigan. The start of the game is currently delayed due to rain.
