U E Softball takes series with 6-4 win

0

In Saturday’s rubber match at Missouri State, the University of Evansville softball team was able to hang on for a 6-4 win to clinch the series against the Bears at Killian Stadium.

“This was a big road series win.  They are a really good team so for us to come here and get two out of three is a big deal,” Aces head coach Mat Mundell said.  “Hopefully we can carry this momentum into our homestand.”

Evansville (18-23, 9-6 MVC) earned its second MVC road series in a row with the win as the Aces recorded six runs on 11 hits.  Chandra Parr had three more hits in four at-bats while Hayli Scott, Brittany Hay and Ashlee Kawall notched two hits apiece.  Hay along with Tess Hupe each scored twice.

Following a scoreless first inning, Morgan Lambert got the Aces on the board in the second.  Her sixth long ball of the season led off the frame and gave UE a 1-0 lead.  The score remained that way until the top of the fourth.  That is when Brittany Hay homered to left center to extend the advantage to 3-0.

Missouri State (21-15, 9-6 MVC) scored their first run in the bottom of the frame as a Darian Frost single cut into their deficit but Evansville got the run right back in the sixth.  Ashlee Kawall hit a leadoff triple before scoring on a single by pinch hitter Bailee Bostic.

Hayli Scott added to the lead later in the inning as a 2-run double scored Hay and Tess Hupe to give UE its largest advantage of the day at 6-1.  The Bears were able to match UE’s 3-run top of the 6th with three of their own in the bottom of the inning, making it a 6-4 game going to the seventh.

After the Aces left a runner stranded at third in the top half of the seventh, Missouri State looked to take advantage in their final at-bat.  MSU put runners on first and second with no outs before advancing to second and third one out later.  Morgan Florey was able to end the threat as UE clinched the series with a 6-4 win.

Florey went all seven innings allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits.  She struck out six.

Starting on Wednesday, the Aces are home for eight of their next nine games as they take on Southern Illinois in a doubleheader slated to begin at 3 p.m.  Next weekend, UE welcomes Indiana State to Cooper Stadium for a 3-game set.

Hayden and Krob push Aces past ISU in series finale

0
Justin Hayden enjoyed a career outing on the mound, and a Brendan Krob eighth-inning blast made it count as the Aces secured their first Missouri Valley Conference sweep since 2014 with a 1-0 victory over Illinois State at Duffy Bass Field.

The sweep, which was the first for the Aces in a conference road series since 2006, saw the Aces improve to 13-22 on the year with a 4-5 league mark. ISU, on the other hand, dropped to 10-24 and 0-6, respectively.

Hayden, a junior out of Mayfield, Ky., went a career-best seven innings while allowing just three hits and striking out four. It was the first time the right-hander had put together a scoreless outing, and it started early as he began his day by setting down the first eight ISU batters in order. Only one Redbird ever moved beyond first base.

“It was a real competitive effort from Justin,” UE head coach Wes Carroll said. “I don’t think his numbers have shown how well he’s done for us this year. He’s been a tough luck pitcher, and today, he put together an outstanding performance.”

On the day, ISU was 0-for-13 at the plate with runners on base.

ISU starting pitcher Brent Headrick was similarly successful, tossing seven scoreless as well while allowing just four hits.

Craig Shepherd and ISU’s Joe Butler were the only players with multiple hits. Each finished with a pair.

In the eighth, Brendan Krob sent the fourth pitch from ISU reliever Trevor Cross over the wall in left center for his second career homer.

“We think Brendan has a really high ceiling, and we think he’s going to have a great career in a Purple Aces uniform,” Carroll said. “He got out to a really slow start and he had some mechanical adjustments. With him stepping up in a big way today, we’re hoping its confidence-booster going forward.”

Brandon Gomer came in to toss the final two innings for his fourth save of the season. The win saw Hayden improve to 3-5 on the season.

The Aces will return to action on Tuesday with a trip to UT Martin. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m.

NOTES: This weekend represents UE’s first conference series win since taking home two out of three at Missouri State in April of 2016 … UE’s last road sweep in league play came at Southern Illinois in May 2006 … Since 1978, the Aces are 55-59 against the Redbirds, which includes a 39-36 mark in MVC regular season contests … UE has now won 10 of 22 Valley series between UE and ISU … The Aces had previously registered only one sweep of the Redbirds, which came in 2014 … The Aces were involved in their 26th Easter Sunday game since 1987. UE is 15-11 on Easter, which includes a 3-2 mark against the Redbirds in Normal … UE is now 10-9 on April 16 since 1987 and 333-280 in the month of April … Since 1978, UE is 252-225 against schools from the state of Illinois, which includes a 3-5 mark this season.

IS IT TRUE APRIL 17, 2017

11

IS IT TRUE that today we shall examine the claim of “explosive growth” comment made by Mayor Winnecke in last weeks State of the City address ? …we believe after reading the information posted below you will agree that the City of Evansville is indeed experiencing “explosive growth” in the deficient spending area?

IS IT TRUE that an analysis of the General Fund of the City of Evansville as of December 31, 2016 has some interesting conclusions?…according to the Annual Financial Statement as published by the Winnecke Administration the beginning General Fund balance of the City of Evansville, on January 1, 2017, had a balance had $1.1 million dollars?…It must be noted that Mayor Winnecke got an advance payment of $12.5 million dollars from the Riverboat money account and deposited it into the City’s General Fund account?

IS IT TRUE If the $12.5 million dollars advancement were properly re-deposited back into the Riverboat accounts, the General Fund would be NEGATIVE by $11.4 million dollars?

IS IT TRUE when the gambling issue was voted on and approved by the voters of Evansville they were told that the Riverboat money will not be used for employee Healthcare Insurance payments or city employees salaries?  …they were told that the money from the Riverboat Fund would be used to help to fund capital equipment requests of city departments?

IS IT TRUE the Winnecke Administration went even further to the manipulation of  the General Fund when  they went to the City of Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Department and asked for and received an advancement of funds due to City in 2017 in the amount of $3.4 million dollars?…considering this additional $3.4 million the City of Evansville General Fund would have a $14.5 million shortage?

IS IT TRUE It gets better because the Winnecke Administration also failed to properly fund the City Employee Hospitalization fund ($7.5 million dollars) for past due medical bills?  …if the amount of $7.5 million dollars were property transferred from the General Fund to the Hospitalization Fund the General Fund would be negative by an additional amount of $7.5 million for a grand total of $22 million dollars negative in the City budget?

IS IT TRUE its alleged that the Winnecke Administration had additional unpaid City Employee Healthcare bills as of January 1, 2017 in the amount of $8.1 million dollars associated with the General Fund accounts?  … if the City had properly paid those unpaid invoices, the General Fund would be negative by an additional $7.1 million or a total of $30.1 million dollars?

IS IT TRUE its been alleged by creditable sources that over 150 city employees were sued by healthcare providers because the city didn’t pay their medical bills in a timely manner?

IS IT TRUE if you consider the invoices not paid at the beginning of this year which were around $7.1 million dollars consequently it should be no surprise that #strongcity is also a #brokecity and is truly a city in financial distress?…the downtown only people however continue to blind themselves into the delusion of “explosive economic growth”?

IS IT TRUE we wonder how the City of Evansville will find the additional tax money to repay the advancements they gave themselves to pay for past unpaid bills?  …we can’t wait to hear how City Council Finance Chairman Dan McGinn will answer this question?
IS IT TRUE that Evansville was out under a flood advisory on Sunday due to the expectation of a deluge of rain in the forecast?…that we have all come to know what it means for the south and southeast sides of Evansville when it rains more than one inch an hour?…that is the condition for having raw sewage back up in the streets in that part of town followed by stink and mosquitos for a while afterward?…now that is one place where Evansville does seem to have “explosive growth”?…there has been an explosion of disease and filth because the powers that be over the last 50 years have failed to satisfy the requirement of the EPA to make the now Billion Dollars of improvements to prevent spreading raw sewage when it rains over an inch an hour?…there are those in the Tri-State who use the word “hockey” as a polite substitute for raw sewage?…we assume that former Mayor Weinzapfel and his Ford Center minions must have thought a “hockey rink” was similar to a retention basin and that Ford Center would help with the sewer discharge problem?

Todays “READERS POLL” question is: Do you feel that City Council Finance Chairman Dan McGinn needs to  sit the record straight concerning the true financial status of the City?
