Midweek DH at Murray State moved to Thursday

Aces and Racers to meet up on Thursday at 4/6 p.m.

  With Missouri Valley Conference play set to begin on Saturday, the University of Evansville softball team will have one last tune-up on Thursday as they head to Murray State for a doubleheader.

Originally set for Wednesday, the doubleheader has been pushed back a day in order to improve playing conditions.  Game one will begin at 4 p.m. on Thursday with the second starting at roughly 6 p.m.

Evansville played in the Indiana Classic over the weekend in Bloomington, falling just short in the finale against the Hoosiers.  IU posted two runs in the first inning, but the Aces pitching staff held them scoreless for the duration of the contest.  A solo shot by Chandra Parr brought the Aces within one, but IU held on for the 2-1 win.

In Evansville’s three games in the Indiana Classic, Parr batted .429 for the Purple Aces.  She drew a walk in the weekend opener against Indiana before starting Sunday off with a 1-for-3 performance against Ohio University.  Her best game of the weekend came in the finale versus the Hoosiers where she posted two of the Aces’ four hits, going 2/3 with a solo home run in a 2-1 loss.

One of the top pitchers in the Missouri Valley Conference kept it rolling over the weekend, throwing 8 2/3 scoreless innings.  Morgan Florey pitched in both games on Sunday for the Aces, including 2 2/3 innings against the Bobcats.  She struck out five batters and gave up two hits.  In six innings against Indiana University, she held the Hoosiers off the board while striking out six more batters in her time in the circle.

Murray State comes into the matchup with an 8-10 mark, splitting games over the weekend against Ball State and Jacksonville.  Jessica Twaddle is the top offensive threat for the Racers, batting .411 and slugging .625 for MSU.  She also reached base a team-best 48.4% of the time.  She also paces the Racers with 9 RBIs and 7 doubles.

In the circle, the 1-2 punch of Mason Robinson and Haven Campbell had recorded ERA’s of 2.12 and 2.30, respectively.

This weekend, the Purple Aces will play at home for the first time this season, opening conference play on Saturday with a 12 p.m. doubleheader against Drake.

 

ST. MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER RECEIVES  MAGNET® REDESIGNATION FROM  THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER 

0

St. Mary’s Medical Center is extremely proud to announce we have received our first Magnet® Redesignation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).  The official announcement was made via a conference call with the ANCC at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 in St. Mary’s Manor Auditorium.

Developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the Magnet® Recognition Program honors healthcare organizations that provide nursing excellence.  Magnet® designation is the gold standard for nursing care.

Our Journey to Nursing Excellence began in 2005, which resulted in our Magnet® designation in 2011. St. Mary’s Medical Center was the first hospital in Evansville to achieve this high honor. Years of continued hard work have led us to this point when we can all celebrate in the accomplishment of achieving our first Magnet® Redesignation.

“This has truly been a team effort, and I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has had a hand in our Magnet® Redesignation journey,” said Darcy Ellison, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Sr. Vice President of Clinical Operations and Chief Nursing Officer for St. Mary’s Health.  “I am very proud to work among such a high caliber family of nursing and healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the highest quality, personalized care.  Each and every one of them has made this possible once again.”

As a Magnet® Redesignated facility, St. Mary’s is among a very elite group.  Approximately 7% of all registered hospitals in the United States have achieved ANCC Magnet® Recognition status.  It is a clear testament to our community that St. Mary’s places the care of our patients at the center of what we do by creating an environment where our staff are empowered to provide the highest quality care.  St. Mary’s is part of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system.

According to the ANCC, “Recognizing quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice, the Magnet® Recognition Program provides consumers with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality care that they can expect to receive.”

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Black Legislative Caucus (IBLC) will conduct a series of upcoming statewide town hall meetings to give Hoosiers an opportunity to provide feedback about the 2016 legislative session.

“The town halls, a partnership between the IBLC and Indiana University, offer people the opportunity to learn about what happened during the past session, ask legislative members questions, and make suggestions on issues they would like to see the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus address during future sessions,” Randolph added.

Remember Our 2015 Fallen K9 Heroes T-Shirt Campaign Ends Soon

0
Only 60 Hours Left to get T-Shirts for Friends and Family to show Support of our Fallen K9s of 2015 and help get Protective Vests for K9s
Blue Alert Foundation and Blue Line Across America wish to purchase ballistic vests & heat alert systems for K9 Officers who currently serve as a tribute to the 26 K9’s who were lost in the line of duty during 2015.
In 2015, 26 K9 Officers gave their lives in the line of duty from across the country. Gunfire contributed to 4 of these losses; 1 as the result of stabbing. Eleven others were lost as the result of heat exhaustion. We wanted to create a ‘walking’ tribute to honor these fallen K9 heroes. We also want to take advantage of this opportunity to protect as may of our K9 Officers as resources will allow. Proceeds from your t-shirt memorial purchases will be used to outfit as many of our four-legged warriors as possible.
This design was created by Blue Line Across America, working in cooperation with the Blue Alert Foundation.
The t-shirt design contains the NAME, DEPARTMENT & DATE OF all 26 K9s lost in the line of duty during 2015.
Thank You for your Continued Support.

Baseball set to return home on Tuesday against Indiana  

0

 

EVANSVILLE – After sweeping through Northern Illinois earlier this month to open the 2016 home slate, the University of Evansville baseball team will return to Charles H. Braun Stadium on Tuesday with a showdown against Indiana at 6 p.m.

The game will mark the first of two midweek contests for the Aces this week as the team will hit the road for SIUE on Wednesday afternoon.

UE (8-7) is looking put an end to a three-game losing streak after seeing its seven-game run ended last week. The Aces line-up has been particularly potent at the plate all season, with junior Trey Hair leading the charge with a .413 batting average with 12 of his 26 hits going for extra bases. The Firth, Neb., native is slugging a team-best .667 and with nine walks, he also carries a .500 on-base mark into the week.

The Aces have homered 13 times over the opening 15 games of the season, with both Korbin Williams and Jonathan Ramon leaving the park three times. In all, four Aces boast of a .300-or-better average, and the team owns a .284 average.

Alex Weigand will get the nod on the mound for UE. The freshman southpaw is 1-0 on the year, posting a 6.08 earned run average over three appearances and two starts. He’s tossed 13.1 innings the year, striking out eight in the process.

Indiana, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back from a 5-8 start to the year. The Hoosiers have won four games over the past two weekends, beating both Butler and Illinois State earlier this month before taking two of three this past weekend against Western Carolina.

SIUE, on the other hand, is looking for its first win of the season after an 0-12 start. This past weekend, the Cougars dropped all three games to Jacksonville State in Edwardsville.

First pitch on Tuesday from Braun Stadium and Wednesday from Simmons Baseball Complex is slated for 6 p.m.

NOTES: UE has lost three consecutive games for the first time since the South Alabama series on opening weekend … Eric McKibban is riding a 15-game on-base streak … Since 1978, the Aces are 16-17 against Indiana and 274-204 vs. schools that hail from the state of Indiana … UE is 16-6 against SIUE … Against Illinois schools, UE owns a 220-196 record, including a 3-0 mark this year after the NIU sweep.
