Eagles win Midwest Region title with 5-0 win over Wayne State

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball captured its first-ever NCAA Division II Midwest Region title Friday as the No. 9 Screaming Eagles defeated visiting Wayne State University, 5-0, to complete a two-game sweep of the Warriors in the NCAA II Midwest Super Regional at the USI Softball Field.

 

USI (46-12) scored five runs in the top of the second inning to take a commanding lead. The Eagles capitalized on a passed ball on a third strike on what would have been the final out of the inning before scoring their five runs.

 

Following the passed ball, the Eagles got a two-run double to left-centerfield off the bat of sophomore designated player Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) to take a 2-0 lead. Senior shortstop Lexi Reese (Lebanon, Indiana) followed with an RBI-double to leftfield, while junior first baseman Marleah Fossett (Brownsburg, Indiana) and senior outfielder Grace Clark (Indianapolis, Indiana) had RBI singles in the next three at-bats to give the Eagles the commanding five-run cushion.

 

Wayne State (40-16) threatened with runners at first and third with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, but USI freshman pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) induced a pair of fly-ball outs to get out of the jam unscathed.

 

Leonhardt (29-2), who is 5-0 with a 0.80 ERA in 35 innings of work during the NCAA II Tournament, earned the victory after blanking the Warriors on five hits, none of which were of the extra-base variety. Leonhardt, who earned her 11th shutout of the year and first since April 9, had five strikeouts and issued just one walk in the victory.

 

USI will await word on who its first-round opponent will be at the NCAA II Softball Championship, which is May 25-29 in Salem, Virginia. The eight-team tournament field will be reseeded following the conclusion of all eight NCAA II Super Regionals.

Breaking News: Vectren, Utility Consumer Counselor Reach Agreement On Energy Grid Modernization Plan

 Vectren, Utility Consumer Counselor Reach Agreement On Energy Grid Modernization Plan

 Evansville, Ind. – Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana – South (Vectren), Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and a coalition of industrial customers have reached a settlement agreement regarding Vectren’s seven-year improvement plan to  enhance reliability and modernize its electric infrastructure, which was filed in February of 2017. The settlement agreement was filed yesterday with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) and completes a collaborative effort among Vectren, the industrial group and the OUCC. The IURC is expected to rule on the settlement no later than September.

The electric system improvement plan includes upgrades to portions of Vectren’s network of substations, transmission and distribution networks that serve seven counties in southwestern Indiana. The original plan featured more than 800 projects and was estimated to cost $514 million over the plan’s seven-year period.

The settlement agreement reduces the plan spend to $446 million. The majority of the $68 million reduction relates to the removal of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI or digital meters) from this plan. However, deferral of the costs for AMI was agreed upon in the settlement whereby the company can move forward with deployment in the near-term. In removing it from the plan, the request for cost recovery for the project will not occur until the next base rate review proceeding, which will begin in 2023.

“This settlement is an important step in our efforts to ensure our energy grid is resilient and more capable of meeting the energy demands of our customers for years to come, including maintaining the reliability our customers have come to expect,” said Carl Chapman, Vectren chairman, president and CEO. “Although we agreed to remove some projects from the final plan, we will phase in advanced digital meters, likely beginning next year, as this technology provides many benefits to our customers, including the elimination of estimated meter reads and detailed insight into daily energy usage. This will help customers manage their energy consumption and help Vectren manage the energy grid.”

If the settlement is approved as filed, electric bills will be gradually adjusted likely beginning in early 2018, and adjustments will continue with modest increases in subsequent years as the improvement projects are completed. In 2018, the typical residential electric customer would pay $1 to $2 more per month. The bill impact at the end of the seven-year period will now be $16 to $17 per month compared to $18 to $20 per month in the original filing.

Under the settlement terms, the company has also agreed that as bills increase during the seven years to recover the cost of the plan, fixed monthly charges related to the plan for residential and other small customers will not exceed $7 per month by the end of the period – about half of the fixed charge it had proposed in February. That means that by year seven, up to only $7 of the expected $16 to $17 monthly increase will be recovered in a fixed monthly service charge while the remaining portion will be recovered volumetrically (based on usage).

Eagles lose heartbreaker to start regional

0

The 19th-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team lost a heartbreaker in the ninth inning versus Saint Joseph’s College, 5-4, during the first day of the 2017 NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Thursday evening in Midland, Michigan. USI, the second seed in the regional, watched its record go to 32-20 overall, while Saint Joseph’s, the seven-seed, goes to 35-20.

The Screaming Eagles continue NCAA II Midwest Regional action Friday at 12:30 p.m. (CDT) when they play an elimination game versus the loser of Quincy University (32-20), the third seed, and Wayne State University (31-19), the sixth-seed.

For live coverage and information about USI in the 2017 NCAA post-season, visit GoUSIEagles.com.

After the Pumas struck first with a tally in the top of the third, the Eagles rallied to tie the game, 1-1, in the bottom of the fifth. USI junior third baseman Angel Torres (Puerto Rico) drove in the tying run with an RBI single, scoring junior first baseman Nathan Kuester (Rockport, Indiana).

Saint Joseph’s regained the lead in the top of the sixth, 3-1, with a pair of tallies with two outs. USI cut the two-run deficit in half, 3-2, during the bottom half of the frame when Kuester drove in junior rightfielder Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) with a sacrifice fly after the Eagles had loaded the bases with no one out.

The Eagles rallied once again in the eighth, scoring twice to take a 4-3 advantage. Junior shortstop Sam Griggs (Evansville, Indiana) started the scoring with an RBI-double before Kuester gave the Eagles’ their only the lead with his second RBI sacrifice fly of the game.

The Pumas, however, were not about to surrender in the ninth. They regained the upper-hand with a game-winning two-run blast off the bat of second baseman Joe Kenney.

Senior right-hander Justin Watts (Bryan, Ohio) took the loss for the Eagles. Watts (5-3) worked 1.2 innings and allowed two runs on the ninth inning home run.

USI junior right-hander Kyle Griffin (Morganfield, Kentucky) started and picked up the no-decision. Griffin allowed a tally on five hits during the first four innings. Senior right-hander Lucas Barnett (Sellersburg, Indiana) followed Griffin to the mound, allowing two runs on five hits and striking out three in 3.1 innings of work.

IS IT TRUE MAY 19, 2017

11

IS IT TRUE we have been told re-branding never ever solves a physical problem and is sometimes is more associated with deception than betterment?…we must remind our readers that re-branding does not and never will repair a decrepit sewer system?…a catchy phrase never has and never will get the EPA off of Evansville’s back, nor will words keep raw sewage out of the streets and waterways?…that clever words will not fill the pot holes, repair the water distribution system, rebuild the sidewalks,  improve the poor performance of the public school system,  or stop the Mayor from spending our hard earned tax dollars on his expensive feel good projects, or never lowered our taxes or increase wages?

IS IT TRUE speaking of the EVSC, they have tried to re-brand their way out of poor performance by renaming failing schools as academies and other nonsensical concoctions of hollow words?…propaganda without substance is often where some educated people go to avoid the hard work of real improvement?

IS IT TRUE that perhaps it is time for the City of Evansville to find a way to hire some National Merit Finalists because apparently the City does not have the will or ability to read a utility bill or the willingness to be honest about who pays it?

 IS IT TRUE  each year there are around 7,500 National Merit Finalists named across the country and this year seven (7) of them are from Vanderburgh County?…that constitutes 0.05% of the National Merit Finalists in the nation and Vanderburgh County has 0.05% of the nation’s population putting our portion of National Merit Finalists at exactly the average for our population?…what is really interesting is what schools are producing these high achievers?…Mater Dei High School produced one (1) finalist, Memorial produced three (3) finalists, and the Charter Signature School produced three (3) National Merit Finalists?…no other high school in Vanderburgh County produced a single one?…the larger enrollment EVSC High Schools called North, Bosse, Central, Harrison, and Reitz produced exactly zero National Merit Finalists between them?…the Evansville Day School that has in the past been a big producer also had zero?
 
IS IT TRUE there is one high school in Bowling Green, Kentucky that had a senior class of only 59 students that produced 15 National Merit Finalists or 0.1% of the honorees in the entire nation?…between Vanderburgh County and the Gatton Academy, every student to be named a National Merit Finalists was either attending a private school or a charter school?…that really begs the question about why public education cannot apparently produce students who are ready for college the way these private schools and charter schools are?  … it is no wonder that many in elected offices are supporting private or charter schools and school vouchers that give parents a choice?
 
IS IT TRUE by the conclusion of the 2017 competition, about 7,500 Finalists will have been selected to receive National Merit Scholarships totaling over $32 million. Winners are the Finalist candidates judged to have the strongest combination of academic skills and achievements, extracurricular accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
IS IT TRUE that County Commissioner Ben Shoulders recently told the Rotarians to keep in mind. “that we should  approach each day with a can-do spirit, with optimism.”?  …Shoulders also said. ” If we as a county can focus on these productive things by listening to one another then in a year from now we’ll have even more success stories to share”?  …all we can say is that Commissioner Shoulders  comments are “track on”?
IS IT TRUE since Pastor Steve Ary forced the manager of the Ford Center to publicly admit that the City of Evansville (taxpayers) are totally responsible for all the debts incurred by the Evansville Thunderbolts we can’t wait to see a detailed breakdown of their debts?  …word in the street has it that we shouldn’t be surprised if the Thunderbolt loses for the 2016-17 hockey season will be well over $500,000?
IS IT TRUE we hear that 2nd Ward resident and pastor Steve Ary will have a couple of pointed questions to ask City Council members at their next meeting?  …we hope his questions won’t force council members Mosby and Mercer to go over the edge again?
IS IT TRUE we are being told that the ACLU are closely monitoring the treatment that 2nd Ward pastor and part-time newspaper editor Steve Ary receives from select members of the Evansville City Council?

IS IT TRUE we have been told that several local CPA”s shall be monitoring how the City Controller will be presenting the 2018 budget reports and requests to members of the Evansville City Council?  …we hear that they will be paying special attention to the figures in the “YELLOW BOOK” that the City Controller gives to council members?

FOOTNOTE: todays “READERS POLL” question is:  Do you feel that long time City Council members Mosby, Weaver, McGinn, Adams and Robinson have been “Good Stewards Of The Public Trust”?
