UE’S DEVERMAN NAMED NCBWA FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICAN

0
EVANSVILLE, Ind. –  University of Evansville freshman pitcher Kenton Deverman (Dardenne Prairie, Mo./Fort Zumwalt West) captured another individual honor on Monday afternoon, as he earned second-team Freshman All-America honors in a vote by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).  It is the 14th time in which a Purple Ace has earned Freshman All-America honors, and Deverman is UE’s first Freshman All-American since outfielder Kevin Kaczmarski in 2012.
Deverman captured Freshman All-America honors after leading all NCAA freshmen in both victories (nine) and innings pitched (111.0).  He set UE freshman records in both categories this year, going 9-2 with a 4.22 ERA in 18 appearances, including 16 starts.  Deverman struck out 83 men against just 23 walks in 111.0 innings of work, and he left the mound with the lead in 11 of his final 13 starts for the Purple Aces.
Deverman was a first-team all-Missouri Valley Conference selection at starting pitcher, while earning the MVC’s Freshman of the Year award.  Deverman was also named to the Greenville (N.C.) Regional All-Tournament team after holding #16 East Carolina to just a single run on three base hits in 8.0 innings of work in UE’s 4-1 victory in the first game of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Deverman is one of 22 UE players who are scheduled to return next season from Evansville’s 39-26 squad which won the program’s first-ever NCAA Regional Tournament title this season, and advanced to UE’s first-ever Super Regional before falling to national #1 seed Tennessee in the final game of the best-of-three Super Regional series.

BASEBALL ACES’ MAGICAL POST-SEASON RUN ENDS IN SUPER REGIONAL FINAL AT #1 TENNESEEE

0
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. –  The magical post-season run for the University of Evansville baseball team came to an end on Sunday night at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, as the overall #1 national seed, Tennessee, played like the nation’s top team with a 12-1 win in game three of the best-of-three Super Regional series.
“I want to congratulate Tennessee, Coach (Tony) Vitello, his staff and his team on a tremendous accomplishment of going to Omaha once again,” said UE head coach Wes Carroll.  “This was a hard-fought series, and they definitely earned the right to go to Omaha today with the way that they played.
“It has been an incredible run by our team in this post-season.  We made some history along the way, and yes, the outcome didn’t go our way today, but I couldn’t be more proud of our seniors and our team of really setting the standard at the University of Evansville for many years to come.”
Evansville struck first on Sunday night, as graduate third baseman Brent Widder came through with a two-out RBI single in the top of the first inning to score senior shortstop Simon Scherry and give UE a 1-0 lead.  The lead would be short-lived, however, as Tennessee lead-off man Christian Moore belted a solo home run four pitches into the bottom of the first inning to tie the game at 1-1.
Tennessee would break things open in the second inning with four runs, including back-to-back solo home runs by shortstop Dean Curley and designated hitter Dalton Bargo, to grab a 5-1 lead.
The game would remain 5-1 until the fourth inning, when Evansville threatened to answer back, loading the bases with two outs, thanks to singles from junior second baseman Cal McGinnis and junior outfielder Ty Rumsey, and an infield error by Tennessee.  But, UT starter Zander Sechrist (4-1) got out of the jam with a ground out to second base on a pay-off pitch to keep UE off the scoreboard.  The Volunteers then quickly launched three home runs in the fourth inning, and another home run in the fifth inning to provide the final margin of victory.  Overall, Tennessee hit seven home runs in the contest.
McGinnis and Rumsey had two hits each to lead the Purple Aces.
With the victory, Tennessee improves to 55-12 overall and advances on to the 2024 Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.  Evansville, meanwhile, sees its 2024 season conclude with a 39-26 overall record.  The 39 victories are the sixth-most in UE program history.  With the close of the season, Evansville will say good bye to 11 Purple Aces, as graduate players Brendan Hord, Chase Hug, Jace Kressin, Mark Shallenberger and Brent Widder, along with seniors Kip Fougerousse, Shane Harris, Jakob Meyer, Simon Scherry, Donovan Schultz and Nick Smith wrapped up their collegiate careers on Sunday.  That group has combined to win 141 games over the last five years at UE, including winning UE’s second-ever Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title this season, and the program’s first-ever NCAA Regional Tournament title as well.

Scott’s big night not enough in series finale

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters dropped the final game of the series to the Florence Y’alls 7-1 at Bosse Field on Sunday.

The Otters (9-18) and Y’alls (8-17) were all square late in the game, but one error from Evansville’s defense cost them the game.

In the third, Mason White slashed a double to right-center field with two outs. Riley Delgado followed suit with an RBI base-hit to put the Otters up 1-0.

Florence tied the game in the fourth with a solo home run.

The bats fell silent for both sides through the next several innings. Shadows on the field split home plate and the mound, proving difficult for hitters to adjust.

Later in the eighth inning, after a leadoff hit–by-pitch, an error from the infield put two runners on for the Y’alls. The starter Braden Scott (0-4), recorded the next two men out, which would have ended the inning without the error. Instead, the next four batters picked up hits, including a home run and two doubles to break the game open and make it 7-1.

Scott was magnificent on the mound, but he ultimately gave up the lead in one of his best starts of the year and took a hard-luck loss. Logan Campbell (1-0) earned the win after pitching scoreless seventh and eighth innings.

Evansville takes off tomorrow toward Troy, NY, where on Tuesday the club will battle the Tri-City ValleyCats. The series opens with a 5:30 PM CT first pitch. Coverage is available on the Otters Digital Network and FloBaseball.

As Summer Gets Underway, Celebrate Don’t Fry Day and Learn How to Be Sun Safe

0

WASHINGTON – Today, May 24, the Friday before the Memorial Day weekend, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, along with the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention, is recognizing the 16th annual “Don’t Fry Day” to encourage Americans to take a few simple steps to protect their skin and eye health while outdoors. Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can increase the risk of developing skin cancer and cataracts, so it is important to be aware of the strength of the sun’s UV rays and take simple steps to protect your skin and eyes while outdoors.

“Remember to protect your skin and eyes from UV rays before you go outdoors,” said Joseph Goffman, Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. “Don’t Fry Day is a great annual reminder of the importance of sun safety, and you can use the EPA’s UV Index app to get the UV forecast for your location and tips on how to be sun safe.”

Almost 20% of Americans will develop skin cancer. Since many skin cancer cases are caused by overexposure to UV radiation, protecting your skin outdoors is an important step to reducing your skin cancer risk. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2024, more than 100,600 new cases of invasive melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, will be diagnosed in the United States. This is approximately 3,000 more cases than were estimated in 2023.

All people are equally at risk of eye damage and developing cataracts, but some people may be at greater risk of contracting skin cancer depending on the color of their skin, a history of blistering sunburns in early childhood, the presence of many moles, or a family history of skin cancer. Also, although sun safety is especially important in summer when we spend more time outdoors, UV can be high throughout the year depending on factors such as location, elevation, and reflective surfaces like sand and snow.

The EPA, the National Weather Service, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention work together to make the UV Index forecast available in the United States. The EPA’s UV Index app (search for the EPA’s UV Index in the App Store and on Google Play) is a convenient tool to let you know the strength of the sun’s skin cancer-causing UV rays. The app gives daily and hourly UV intensity forecasts for your location, provides recommendations on sun safety, and is also available in Spanish. Reduce your risk of skin cancer and eye damage by remembering to:

  • SLIP! – Slip on a long-sleeved shirt or other clothing that covers your skin.
  • SLOP! – Slop on a handful of sunscreen with sun protection factor 15 or higher, and re-apply every two hours, or sooner if in the water.
  • SLAP! – Slap on a broad-brimmed hat to cover the back of your neck and the tips of your ears.
  • WRAP! – Wrap on a pair of sunglasses. The kind that wrap around the sides of your face provide more sun protection.
  • Avoid tanning beds and minimize sunbathing.
  • Check the UV Index before spending time outdoors and dress appropriately.

Download Don’t Fry Day and sun safety posters, sign up for a daily UV Index forecast via email, or check the UV Index online daily on the EPA’s sun safety webpage.
