The University of Southern Indiana baseball team split a doubleheader with Bellarmine University and finished the first Great Lakes Valley Conference weekend of 2017 with a series split Saturday morning in Louisville, Kentucky. The Screaming Eagles took the opener, 10-1, but lost the nightcap, 4-3.

Sophomore catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) rounded out the multi-hit Eagles with a two-for-four performance on a pair of doubles, adding an RBI. Junior designated hitter Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) also matched Johnson’s two RBIs to help lead the Eagles in the 10-1 win.

In the second game, Bellarmine broke a 3-3 tie in the bottom ninth to defeat USI, 4-3. USI had a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth and battled back to tie the game 3-3 in the top of the eighth inning before falling short.

Freshman right-hander Tyler Hagedorn (Evansville, Indiana) took the loss in relief for the Eagles. Hagedorn (0-2) allowed one run on one hit and four walks (two intentional), while striking out two in 2.1 innings of work.

The Eagles started sophomore right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) on the mound in the nightcap. Krizan got the no-decision after allowing three runs, one earned, on seven hits and a walk. The sophomore also tied a career-high with six strikeouts in 6.1 innings on the bump.

Offensively, Brown had a pair of hits and two RBIs to lead the Eagles in the nightcap. Brown also led the Eagles for the day with three RBIs in the two games, while tying Johnson with four hits each in the two games on Saturday.

3-on-3 Tourney Dates Set For Police, Recovering Addicts  

Indiana Conservation Officers have finalized plans for a 3-on-3 basketball tournament aimed at forging a better understanding between police agencies and participants in the Road to Redemption Addiction Recovery program in Muncie.

The tournament will be May 13 at Tabernacle of Praise Church, 2200 E. Fuson Road, Muncie, IN, 47302.  The tournament will begin at 9:00 a.m.

Law enforcement departments from Albany, Eaton, Gaston, Muncie, Yorktown, Delaware County Sheriff’s Department, Ball State University, I.U. Health, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources will be taking part.

Teams will consist of three police officers and one Road to Redemption member in the half-court, double-elimination tournament.

“This is a time of healing, togetherness and strength for our communities,” said John Tyner, chaplain for Indiana Conservation Officers. “Drug addiction is an epidemic that has affected many families across our state. This tournament is about much more than basketball.”

A fellowship and introduction dinner is scheduled for April 28 at Tabernacle of Praise Church. The chiefs from each participating agency also will attend to show support for the effort. The dinner will begin at 5:00 p.m.

Neither event is open to the public because of limited space.  Media is invited and encouraged to attend both events.

Her most recent album, 2014 Grammy Country Album of the Year nominee The Way I’m Livin’ – produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies) – is an unvarnished distillation of Womack’s clear-eyed take on the real world. Drawing on songs from Julie Miller, Bruce Robison, Hayes Carll, Mindy Smith and Neil Young, USA Today called it “irresistibly teasing” with The New York Times adding “[Womack] is entrancing.”
