0

For the second week in a row, the University of Southern Indiana baseball team will move up its Great Lakes Valley Conference schedule to avoid the forecast of rain. USI’s four-game series at the University of Illinois Springfield, which was originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, has been moved to Friday at 3 p.m. and Saturday at noon.

In addition to moving up the start of the series, the venue for Friday’s doubleheader has been changed to Lenz Field in Jacksonville, Illinois. The series concludes Saturday at the UIS Baseball Field in Springfield, Illinois, as originally scheduled.

IU’s King Nominated for Honda Award

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University sophomore swimmer Lilly King, who won her third and fourth career NCAA titles earlier in March, has been nominated for the Honda Sport Award for women’s swimming & diving, Chris Voelz, Executive Director of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA), announced Thursday

At the NCAA Championships this season, King successfully defended her crowns in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke, becoming the first woman in Big Ten history to accomplish the feat. King’s four career individual titles are the most for any swimmer or diver in league history.

The sophomore set the American, NCAA, NCAA Meet, U.S. Open, IU Natatorium and IU school record in the 200 breast with the best time in the history of the event – 2:03.18. Overall, she is an eight-time All-American and captured two Olympic gold medals in the 2016 games, including the 100 breaststroke.

The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 41 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.”  The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2017 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 26, 2017, in Los, Angeles.

In addition to King, the other nominees are Kathleen Baker of California Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel from Stanford.

The nominees were chosen by a panel of coaches representing the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of American (CSCAA). The Honda Sport Award winner for swimming & diving will be announced next week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.

Aces Softball drops doubleheader versus KSU

0

 

Aces trek to Iowa this weekend

 Kent State erupted for 17 runs as they swept a doubleheader against the University of Evansville softball team on Wednesday night at Cooper Stadium.

The Golden Flashes (12-16) picked up a 9-1 win over Evansville (12-16) in game one before taking the second end of the doubleheader by a final of 8-2.

In the top of the second inning of game one, the Golden Flashes struck first.  Three walks loaded up the bases before the first run scored on a wild pitch.  Two more crossed the plate on a Jen Cader double as KSU took a 3-0 advantage before another run scored on an error.

UE got one of the runs back in the bottom of the second.  Morgan Lambert led the frame off with a triple and came home when Tess Hupe singled up the middle.  KSU got the run back in the third and added their sixth one on a Maddy Grimm home run to left in the fifth.  The Golden Flashes cruised from there to take the 9-1 win.

The Aces notched six hits in the game with Courtney Land notching two of them.  Bailey Brownfield had three of KSU’s 10 hits while Jen Cader had three RBI.  Janel Hayes picked up the win for the Golden Flashes, going the distance allowing one run.  Emily Lockhart took the loss for UE, going 1 1/3 innings, giving up four runs and four walks.

Game two saw Kent State pick up right where they left off in game one, scoring four times in the first.  They did their damage on one hit and three walks.

UE loads bases in the second inning, but were unable to capitalize.  In the fourth, the Golden Flashes plated two more runs as Maddy Grimm hit a homer to left, her second of the doubleheader.  Evansville got on the board in the bottom of the sixth as Bailee Bostic hit a 2-run double, but KSU grabbed the 8-2 triumph.  They recorded seven hits while holding UE to six.

A trip to Iowa is on tap for the Aces this weekend as they travel to Cedar Falls for a 3-game set against UNI.  Next Wednesday, UE is back at Cooper Stadium for a doubleheader against Austin Peay.  It is set to begin at 2 p.m.

University of Southern Indiana Softball swept a Midwest Region doubleheader from former Great Lakes Valley Conference foe Kentucky Wesleyan College Wednesday night at the USI Softball Field. The No. 10 Screaming Eagles earned an 8-0 win in six innings in game one before defeating the Panthers, 2-1, in the night cap.

USI (26-6), which jumped four spots to No. 10 in the latest NFCA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, returns to GLVC action Saturday when it visits McKendree University for a noon doubleheader in Lebanon, Illinois.

Southern Indiana (26-6): 8, Kentucky Wesleyan (18-12): 0

–Box Score (6 inn.)

USI scored three runs in each of the first two innings as it cruised to a 6-0 lead over Kentucky Wesleyan. Senior catcher Haley Hodges(Portage, Indiana) had an RBI-double to put the Eagles on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning, while senior outfielder Grace Clark (Indianapolis, Indiana) had a two-run double two batters later to put USI in front, 3-0.

Sophomore utility player Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) led the second inning off with a solo home run, while junior first baseman Marleah Fossett (Brownsburg, Indiana) had a two-run home run later in the frame to give USI a commanding 6-0 advantage.

Junior designated player Alex Logan (Carleton, Michigan) had an RBI-double in the third inning to give USI a 7-0 lead, while freshman outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) drove in the game-ending run with an RBI-groundout in the sixth frame.

Freshman pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) earned her sixth complete-game shutout of the season. Leonhardt (14-1) struck out a pair of batters while allowing just two hits in six innings of work.

–Box Score

The Eagles got an RBI from Hodges in the bottom of the first inning and an RBI from junior outfielder Olivia Clark-Kittleson (Carbondale, Illinois) in the fourth frame to build a 2-0 lead they would not relinquish.

Kentucky Wesleyan (18-12) got a run in the sixth inning to cut the deficit in half. The Panthers had the tying run on first in the top of the seventh inning, but a game-ending double-play ended the threat and gave USI sophomore pitcher Courtney Atkisson (Bringhurst, Indiana) the complete-game victory.

Atkisson (9-3) allowed just one unearned run off five hits in seven innings of work to earn her ninth win of the year. She recorded three strikeouts and did not issue a walk.

JUNE 30, 2017 “IS IT TRUE”

0

IS IT TRUE because we experienced some technical problems concerning the launching of our newly resigned paper we decided to repeat yesterdays IS IT TRUE column? …thanks for your support and reading the new City County Observer newspaper?

IS IT TRUE that it is no secret that the newspaper industry has been falling on hard times for at least a decade?…from the New York Times to every daily news based paper in the country the struggle to survive has meant cuts to staff and the associated lowering the bar when it comes to quality?…it seems as though any small to medium sized daily paper that once captured a reader’s attention for a half hour a day is now only capable of keeping one’s attention for less than 5 minutes?…the Evansville Courier and Press is no exception to what is happening to newspapers all over the country?…a court ruling regarding the taxable value of a piece of expensive equipment was published yesterday by the IndianaaLawyer.com and it included some interesting facts entered into the public record about the financial health of the Courier and Press?…the City County Observer publishes the following without bias or editing and in many ways feels remorse for the challenges facing print media of all types?  …attached below is the recap of the court ruling for your review: Evansville Courier Company, Inc. v. Vanderburgh County Assessor?

IS IT TRUE that the Evansville Courier and Press has lost approximately 60% of its circulation since the 1990s according to the official court document?…during the 7 year period from 2004 to 2011 the Courier and Press saw both daily and Sunday circulation decline by nearly 20%?…in 2011 the daily circulation of the Courier had fallen to under 40,000 and the Sunday circulation to 57,111?…this is in a market that has approximately 350,000 people?…if national trends have been followed those numbers are likely to be down by another 15% to 20% today?…In 2004 the Courier and Press employed over 500 people and today that number is closer to 200 and shrinking?…it actually states in the court document signed by Judge John J. Baker that “the Courier and Press anticipates that within 10 years they will not be publishing a printed paper?  …some of the reasons for the declines given by the Courier and Press in the legal document are competition for ads with Craigslist which is a free online sales portal, competition for news against Facebook, Twitter, and online publications?…the City County Observer was not mentioned?

IS IT TRUE the legal dust up is all about a flexographic printer that was bought by the Courier and Press in 1989 as a state of the art printing press that would last for many years?…when the printing press became obsolete to the point that spare parts were not even available the Courier management petitioned the Vanderburgh County Assessor’s Office to decrease the value of the obsolete equipment for taxation purposes?…the amount in question is on the order of $3 Million so the taxes on such a thing per year are significant?…the courts have decided that a write down of value on the basis of abnormal obsolescence is not approved leaving the Courier and Press on the hook to pay taxes on a printing press that they can’t find parts for or even repair?…this is the sort of thing that makes practical human beings look upon government actions as out of touch with reality?…continuing to tax this worthless asset even after being shown an appraisal is a prime example of government making war on business?…the day will come that there will be no daily written paper in the City of Evansville and the Vanderburgh County Assessor’s Office will bear partial responsibility for taxing a struggling business to death?

IS IT TRUE this is truly a case of oppression of a free press through irrational and indefensible taxation?…these taxes are a real world example of SNEGAL running wild?  …since the Courier and Press sub-contracts the printing of their paper in Louisville, Ky the obvious solution for the owners of this printing press is to move it somewhere that doesn’t do this and let it rust to the ground?…the City County Observer states a position of support for a free and honest press that does not fear the lash of taxation putting it out of business?…today the CCO is a brother publication that has felt the lash of oppression ourselves for publishing the brutal truth about the shenanigans the local power brokers pull on the taxpayers of Evansville?  …we pledge to continue to strive for truth and honestly in government and shall continue to force our elected officials to practice “good public policy”?

IS IT TRUE we are being told by friends from the main stream media if the once mighty Courier and Press don’t pay strict attention to the business at hand they may become a fledgling blog?  …the City County Observer has been there and done that?

Today “Readers Poll” question is: Are you pleased with the new layout and design of the City County Observer?
