UE Will Play In The Hilltopper Spring Fling In Bowling Green, Ky.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Another hard-fought contest saw the University of Evansville softball team fight to the finish, however, Chattanooga was able to grind out a 6-5 win over the Purple Aces in eight innings on Sunday at the Frost Classic.

Evansville (2-11) and Chattanooga battled for the duration of the contest, but the winning run scored for the Mocs in the eighth.  Brittany Hay picked up two of the Aces four hits on the day while Bailee Bostic hit a home run in the contest.  Hayleigh Weissenbach and Emma Sturdivant notched three hits apiece for the Mocs.

Evansville grabbed a 3-0 lead in the top of the first.  Elyse Hickey reached on a walk and would later score the first run of the game on a passed ball.   Lindsay Renneisen reached base on a fielder’s choice before Eryn Gould was walked.  Both would score on a Chattanooga error.

The Mocs got the three runs right back in the bottom half of the first with two scoring on an Amanda Beltran single and the final coming across the plate on a hit batter with the bases loaded.

Bailee Bostic broke the tie in the third with a 2-out home run to left to put the Aces back in front, but the bottom of the fourth saw UTC tie it right back up.  The back-and-forth action continued in the sixth when Brittany Hay gave UE a 5-4 lead on a single before Chattanooga hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the frame to knot the score once again.

In the bottom of the ninth, Kacie Lynch singled home Weissenbach for the game-winner.

UE will be closer to home next weekend, playing in the Hilltopper Spring Fling in Bowling Green, Ky.

                        Aces’ Women Finish Ninth In 10- Team Field, while Evansville Men Earn Ninth-Place Finish

 CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Evansville men’s and women’s track and field teams wrapped-up their indoor seasons on Sunday afternoon in the second and final day of the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Championships in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

At the championships, the Aces’ women’s team recorded one point, finishing in ninth-place of the 10-team field, while Evansville’s men’s team came in ninth.

The Aces’ women scored the first team points in an MVC Championship in program history in the women’s 4×400 meter relay. Freshmen Lizzy Walston and Lauren Meyer, junior Sienna Crews, and senior JBess Ruby led the Aces to an eighth-place finish in the nine-team field, breaking the program record by nearly 10 seconds in the process, earning a point for the Aces.

 


Following up a strong effort by the Aces’ women in the 4×400 meter relay, Evansville’s men also had success in the relay. The relay team of freshmen Stanley Chepchieng, Ethan Price, Ricky Hendrix, and Ian Alberts earned a ninth-place finish narrowly missing the program record set in 1983 by just seven one-thousandths of a second with a time of 3:34.42. The Aces’ time of 3:34.42 was less than 20 seconds out of third place.

In the women’s shot put, freshman Brittany Corley was the lone Aces to compete, finishing in 19th with a throw of 8.72 meters. On the men’s side, junior Ryan Freeman led the way for Evansville with a 16th-place finish with a throw of 12.72 meters, besting his own program record. Following Freeman was sophomore Chris Zapata with a throw of 11.62 meters, finishing in 17th.

Illinois State swept both the men’s and women’s MVC indoor track and field championships with Indiana State’s men’s and women’s teams both finishing second and UNI’s men and Southern Illinois’ women coming in second.

Both men’s and women’s track and field teams now shift their focus to the upcoming start of the outdoor season. The Aces open up their first outdoor track and field campaign in 33 seasons when they travel to Indianapolis to compete in the Stan Lyons Invitational on March 17 hosted by Butler.

Week After Argument, Justices Uphold Denial Of Continuance, Sentence

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalewyer.com

A Floyd County man convicted of attempted residential entry and resisting law enforcement lost the appeal of his sentence and the denial of his motion for a continuance. The Indiana Supreme Court upheld the trial court’s ruling only one week after hearing oral arguments in the case.

After fleeing police on foot and attempting to enter a stranger’s home without permission, Jacob Robinson was convicted pursuant to two plea agreements to attempted residential entry and resisting law enforcement, as Class D and Level 6 felonies, respectively, and he admitted to being a habitual substance offender. The Floyd Circuit Court scheduled Robinson’s case for a sentencing hearing and instructed him to meet with the probation department for a presentence investigation report, but Robinson missed two scheduled appointments.

Robinson then failed to appear at his sentencing hearing, with his attorney — who arrived at the hearing late — informing the court that Robinson had texted him and asked for the hearing to be moved so he could “get his ducks in line” for an upcoming real estate closing. The trial judge denied that request due to his belief that Robinson wasn’t taking the matter seriously, but he withheld entering a sentence on the habitual substance offender enhancement until Robinson appeared in court pursuant to a bench warrant.

After he was arrested and sentenced, Robinson appealed and challenged the denial of his motion for a continuance and his three-year sentence for his conviction of attempted residential entry. But the Indiana Court of Appeals chose to address neither of those issues and instead reversed after finding sua sponte that it was illegal for Robinson to receive a habitual substance offender enhancement on a non-substance conviction.

Robinson returned to the question of whether his continuance should have been granted during oral arguments before the Indiana Supreme Court last week, while the state maintained that offenders cannot challenge their plea agreements when they received a benefit, as Robinson did, even if the sentence is erroneous. The state also alleged Robinson’s appeal was not timely filed.Writing succinctly in a six-page per curiam opinion in Jacob O. Robinson v. State of Indiana, 18S-CR-33, on Friday, the Indiana Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s original ruling, finding first that the denial of a continuance was not an abuse of discretion.

“Robinson sought a last-minute continuance on grounds he had a real estate closing within the next few days and desired to ‘get his ducks in line,’” the court wrote. “He also failed to attend two appointments with the probation department.”

Then, turning to Robinson’s sentencing challenge, the justices determined his three-year sentence — the maximum for his Class D felony conviction — was not inappropriate under Appellate Rule 7(B) and, thus, did not warrant appellate revision.

In the women’s 60-meter hurdles, freshman Samantha Bittner improved on her own program record by nearly a full second, crossing the line in a time of 9.83 in 16th.
