Eagles split fourth day at PFX Spring Games

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball earned a 5-2 win over LIU Post to salvage a split to its fourth day of competition at the PFX Spring Games.

USI (11-6), which slipped to No. 14 in the latest NFCA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, began the day with a 5-1 setback to defending national champion and previously No. 1 ranked Minnesota State University Mankato, which slipped to No. 9 in the latest NFCA Top 25 Wednesday.

The Screaming Eagles conclude the PFX Spring Games Thursday when they take on Midwest Region foes University of Findlay and Grand Valley State University at 8 a.m. (CST) and 10:30 a.m., respectively.

#9 Minnesota State Mankato 5, #14 USI 1 (Box Score)
The Mavericks (14-2) got a run in the second inning and four in the fourth to build a commanding 5-0 lead.

USI got an RBI-single from senior third baseman Mena Fulton (Bloomington, Indiana) in the top of the sixth inning, but missed opportunities plagued the Eagles throughout the contest.

The Eagles, who had an error lead to all four of Minnesota State Mankato’s runs in the fourth, left the bases loaded in both the first and sixth frames and stranded a total of 12 runners on base throughout the contest.

Sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) was charged with the loss after giving up five runs, one earned, off five hits in 3 2/3 innings of work. Leonhardt (4-4) struck out three batters, but four walks, including two with the bases loaded, doomed the reigning GLVC Freshman of the Year.

Rennie signs contract extension with Evansville

0

The Evansville Otters have signed right-handed pitcher Luc Rennie to a contract extension.

Rennie, a San Diego, Calif. native, joined the Otters before the 2016 season after spending time in the Baltimore Orioles’ organization.

“I’m looking forward to having Luc back,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said. “He’s coming off a great season for us and hopefully he’ll continue to improve.”

Rennie made 13 appearances on the mound for Evansville last season with 12 starts. In 77.1 innings, he struck out 66 batters while finishing with a 2.91 ERA and 7-5 record.

“He was able to pound strikes last year with exceptional movement on his fastball,” McCauley said. “Luc will be in our starting rotation.”

In 32 career appearances with the Otters, Rennie has struck out 112 in 130.2 innings with a 4.75 ERA.

He was drafted in the 16th round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego by the Orioles and split time between Frederick, Delmarva and Aberdeen from 2012-15.

He pitched 221.1 innings in affiliated baseball, winning 11 games and striking out 188 in four seasons.

Evansville will celebrate Bosse Field’s Opening Night May 11 against the Washington Wild Things at 6:35 p.m. The Otters are hosting a job fair Saturday at Bosse Field from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Eagles hurt by big inning, fall 12-7

0

The University of Southern Indiana baseball team allowed eight runs in the fourth and fell to the University of West Florida, 12-7, Wednesday afternoon in Pensacola, Florida. USI, which has lost its last four, watched its record go to 5-6, while West Florida went to 12-8.

The Screaming Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead after an inning-and-a-half. Senior right-handed starter Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead with an RBI-single to score senior first baseman Nick McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana), who had tripled with two down.

USI freshman shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) extended the lead to 2-0 with an RBI-single to score junior catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana). The 2-0 lead would stand until the bottom of the second when the Argonauts plated pair to knot the game at 2-2 and take the lead in the third, 4-2.

Hunter struck again in the top of the fourth with an RBI-ground out to cut the deficit to 4-3. West Florida responded in the bottom half of the fourth with an eight-spot off of four Eagle hurlers to take command of the contest 12-3.

The Eagles would try to rally, scoring two in the sixth on a two-run single by senior centerfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Kentucky) and one in the seventh when Gobert scored on a wild pitch to make the score 12-6. USI inched closer again in the ninth when Gobert scored on a ground out by senior third baseman Sam Griggs (Evansville, Indiana), but 12-7 would be a close as the Eagles would come in the final frame.

At the plate, Gobert led the way with three hits and three runs scored, while Hunter and Johnson led the way with two RBIs each. Gobert (0-2) took the loss for the Eagles, allowing five runs on seven hits in three-plus innings of work.

Junior right-hander Ryan Gulledge (Evansville, Indiana) had the best day on the mound for the Eagles, throwing four scoreless innings and struck out a career-high five batters.

USI stays on the road for a visit to Louisville, Kentucky. The Eagles are slated to play Friday against Alderson Broaddus University in a noon (CST) match-up and Bellarmine University at 3 p.m. in a non-conference contest.

The Eagles will be facing off with Alderson Broaddus for the first time in the history of the program, but has an all-time record of 79-70 versus Bellarmine. Last season, USI took three of four from the Knights last season in Louisville during GLVC play.

Summary judgment for Steak ‘n Shake in patron’s shooting reversed

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

In a case watched closely by both the plaintiffs and defense bar, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed summary judgment for Steak ‘n Shake after determining the chain owed a duty to a customer at an Indianapolis restaurant who was shot in the face during an escalating conflict with another patron.

In December 2012, Amber Hamilton and her brother Dustyn were at an Indianapolis Steak ‘n Shake when another group of people, including Ricky Jackson, entered the restaurant. Jackson began harassing the siblings because of Dustyn’s sexual orientation and tried to goad Dustyn into fighting him.

A server and a cook working that evening were aware of ongoing argument, but did not call for help until 30 minutes later when it seemed the argument would turn physical. The cook, who was acting as the manager, asked both groups to leave, but they ignored her and a fight ensued between the feuding men.

Hamilton also joined the fray until Jackson shot her point blank in the face, causing serious injuries. She survived, but filed a negligence suit against Steak ‘n Shake, alleging the restaurant failed “to take affirmative action to control the wrongful act of third parties.”

Steak ‘n Shake filed a motion for summary judgment, which was initially denied, but granted more than a year later on a motion to reconsider.

In an appeal that drew amicus petitions from both the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association and Defense Trial Counsel of Indiana, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed in Amber Hamilton v. Steak ‘n Shake Operations Inc., 49A02-1704-CT-776, in light of recent Indiana Supreme Court caselaw.

Specifically, Judge Robert Altice wrote Wednesday that the cases of Goodwin v. Yeakle’s Sports Bar & Grill, Inc., 62 N.E.3d 384 (Ind. 2016) and Rogers v. Martin, 63 N.E.3d 316 (Ind. 2016), establish the analytical framework for deciding the instant case. Those cases evaluated foreseeability as it relates to the duty a landowner owes an invitee in negligence actions and determined that a “foreseeability analysis should focus on the general class of persons of which the plaintiff was a member and whether the harm suffered was of a kind normally to be expected — without addressing the specific facts of the occurrence.”

Applying that framework here, the Court of Appeals defined the “broad type of plaintiff” as a restaurant patron who, like Hamilton, was subject to taunts and threats, while the “broad type of harm” was resulting injuries. Under those definitions, the court found Steak ‘n Shake had a duty to provide for Hamilton’s safety considering the 30-minute conflict that led up to Jackson shooting Hamilton.

“Steak ‘n Shake did not have to know the precise harm that would befall its customer, only that there was some probability or likelihood that one of its patrons could be harmed and that the potential harm was serious enough that a reasonable person would have been induced to take precautions to avoid it,” Altice wrote. “An escalating thirty-minute encounter that included verbal threats and taunts, blocking of the exit, and pounding on windows in an effort to incite a physical altercation, all of which Steak ‘n Shake had knowledge, clearly created some likelihood that one of Steak ‘n Shake’s patrons could be harmed and that the potential harm could be serious.”

Thus, the grant of summary judgment was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings on Hamilton’s negligence allegations.
