Baseball secures series win over No. 16 Missouri State

0

The best-hitting lineup in the Missouri Valley Conference proved no match for the University of Evansville pitching staff on Sunday afternoon as the Purple Aces shut down 16th-ranked Missouri State for a 7-1 victory at Hammons Field.

“That was a statement game for our players,” UE head coach Wes Carroll said. “I think they have the confidence to know that if they play good baseball like they did this weekend, they’ll be in position to win games. I’m really proud of the effort from our guys to go on the road and win a series against an opponent like Missouri State.”

The Aces (23-15, 6-3 MVC) scored in each of the first three innings on Sunday, but aside from a single run in the bottom of the third, the Bears (28-10, 3-5 MVC) were unable to get much else going as the trio of Alex Weigand, Brent Jurceka and Ryan Brady combined  to help UE to a third consecutive series victory.

“Alex made some confident pitches out there for us against a good lineup, and then Brent just put the whole team on his back,” Carroll said. “That was one of those senior moments for him. He made all the big pitches when needed, and he did it consistently. Our pitchers were outstanding today.”

For the third time this weekend, the Aces drew first blood as a Stewart Nelson walk and an error by Bear shortstop Jeremy Eierman put a pair of runners on in the top of the first inning. Boomer Synek followed up with a single to cash in the opening score, and Korbin Williams would triple the advantage an inning later with a two-run blast over the wall in left field.

Back-to-back doubles from Trey Hair and Synek in the third pushed the Aces lead to four before the Bears reclaimed a score with a Blake Graham single in the bottom half of the frame.

Hair and Synek led the rest of the Aces lineup on the day, combining to go 5-for-10 with a pair of runs batted in.

The Bears would also challenge in the fifth inning as MSU put runners on second and third with no outs, but Brent Jurceka would make the jog from the bullpen to shut things down, inducing three straight groundouts to end the threat.

“When I came in, I was just trying to make my pitches,” Jurceka said of the jam. “I try to take it one pitch at a time and not think ahead. I had all the confidence in the world, and I knew the guys behind me would make the plays.”

Jurceka was lights-out over the course of the next four innings, giving up just one hit while striking out four, and Ryan Brady officially closed the door with a 1-2-3 ninth.

A pair of two-out rallies added some insurance for the Aces as hits from Shain Showers and Nelson brought home a score in the sixth, and consecutive eighth-inning hits from Eric McKibban and Hair made it 7-1.

UE will return to action on Wednesday with a trip to Austin Peay.

NOTES: The Aces played in a Missouri Valley Conference rubber game for the third successive week … Since 1978, the first season that UE competed at the NCAA Division I level, UE is 38-49 vs. MSU … The Aces are 871-67 all-time against Missouri schools … Last season, the Aces were swept by Missouri State at Charles H. Braun Stadium.

COA: Time expired in bringing criminal trial

0

Scott Roberts for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals reversed a man’s felony and misdemeanor charges after it found the state did not bring him to trial within a 365-day time period.

Byron Tinker was arrested on July 16, 2012, and later charged with Class D felony maintaining a common nuisance and three Class A misdemeanors: possession of marijuana, dealing in marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.

On Feb. 19, 2015, Tinker filed a motion to dismiss charges against him because the state had not brought him to trial within the 365 days required by Indiana Criminal Rule 4(C). The trial court denied his motion, but Tinker filed an interlocutory appeal.

There were several time periods in dispute as to what time should be assigned to whom. The first 167 days were assigned to Tinker as he admitted. The second 69 were assigned to the state as the state did not specifically say the time should be assigned to Tinker. Tinker accepted a plea agreement during that time, but it remained outstanding.

A 203-day stretch that was originally assigned to Tinker by the trial court was reassigned to the state at the appellate level. The state never mentioned why the days should be assigned to Tinker, only suggesting the COA remand the case for the trial court to explain why it assigned the dates to Tinker. The COA declined, and the 203 days were assigned to the state.

The COA said the trial court also erred when it said Tinker had an obligation to object to his trial date being more than a year after his charges. Tinker only needed to object if a trial date was set outside of the one year period, which it never was. The judges noted 357 days had passed before the state took action again, and those days were also assigned to the state.

That pushed the state well past the 365 day limit, and the COA said because of that his charges should be dismissed with prejudice.

The case is Byron Tinker and Travis Kelley v. State of Indiana, 10A01-1507-CR-999

WHAT TRUMP PEOPLE DON’T GET .post-header

4

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

Trump people kill me.

They’ve been whining for weeks about how the Republican Party primary system works.

They say it’s rigged because their hero is pulling in the most votes and the most delegates but still might not win the nomination.

They say it’s all very simple: Trump’s getting the most votes and therefore it’s only fair that the person with the most votes from the people should win the nomination.

As I tweeted earlier this week, if that’s the way Trump’s followers think, then they should all be supporters of Al Gore.

In the 2000 election Gore got 540,000 more votes than George W. Bush, but Bush ended up in the White House because he accumulated the most Electoral College votes.

The Founding Founders & Framers knew what they were doing when they set up the Electoral College to indirectly choose the president.

They didn’t want a popular vote and they didn’t want Congress to pick the chief executive.

And they sure didn’t want a candidate for president to be able to just campaign in three or four big states and rack up huge vote totals and win that way.

The Founders deliberately set it up so each state got its electoral votes in proportion to its representatives and senators.

They wanted every part of the country to be part of the process of choosing a president, not just one heavily populated region or one strong faction of nut balls or extremists. (Not that Trump people are nutballs or extremists.)

It’s the same representative principle at work in the Republican Party’s primary system.

The GOP doesn’t want some guy to be able to win the nomination by flying a 757 into a handful of big states like California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Ohio and Florida, holding campaign events for 20,000 people at the airport and then flying home to Upper Upper Manhattan.

They want a nominee who gets on the ground, walks the neighborhoods, shakes hands and does the hard retail work at the grass roots.

That’s what Ted Cruz has been doing to win his delegates while Trump has been doing TV interviews and zooming back and forth over Flyover Country.

Trump people might not like the primary process because their hero is not winning, or think there is cheating and rigging going on.

But they have to understand there is a process and it’s not about vote counts, it’s about the delegate count. It’s not that tough to get.

Meanwhile, what really concerns me lately is how Trump is wrecking his ability to unify the GOP around his candidacy in the fall if he does win the nomination.

He spends parts of every speech and press conference announcing that he hopes that his supporters don’t make trouble if he doesn’t win. He hopes they don’t riot in the streets.

I’m getting tired of his veiled threats, because that is what they really are.

It’s time for Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, to stand up at a press conference and tell Trump to cut it out.

Maybe threats and intimidation are part of the Donald’s winning strategy in business. But it’s not how it’s supposed to work when you’re trying to win the presidential nomination of the Republican Party.
