USI BB advances with McNamara walk-off single

0

University of Southern Indiana sophomore leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) singled in the game-winning run in ninth-inning to defeat Angelo State University, 1-0, on the third day of the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Monday afternoon in Cary, North Carolina. USI, the NCAA II Midwest Regional representative, sees its record go to 38-20 overall, while Angelo State sees its season end with a 39-22 mark.

In the ninth inning, senior rightfielder Kyle Kempf (Evansville, Indiana) walked to lead off the frame and advanced to third when sophomore second baseman Sam Griggs (Evansville, Indiana) reached on an Angelo State fielding error. Senior catcher Ryan Bertram (Zionsville, Indiana) was walked intentionally to load the bases before McNamara singled up the middle to drive in Kempf with the game-winner and the game’s only tally.

The 1-0 victory capped off a dominating pitching performance by junior right-hander Lucas Barnett(Sellersburg, Indiana). Barnett (8-5) became the Screaming Eagles’ first eight-game winner of 2016 by throwing his team-best third shutout and sixth complete.

Barnett was dominating over the nine innings, scattering five hits and one walk versus 33 Angelo State hitters. The junior right-hander, who struck out two batters and threw 96 pitches in the win, allowed only three Rams to reach third base in the contest and stranded six base-runners.

The Eagles advance to play the loser of the Lander University-Nova Southeastern University Wednesday at 6 p.m. (CDT) in USI’s second straight elimination game. Lander (43-14) and Nova Southeastern (40-16) are scheduled to play in Tuesday’s second game at 6 p.m. (CDT).

Annual Honoring Women Veterans Conference at UE Set for June 18

The seventh annual Honoring Women Veterans Conference at the University of Evansville is Saturday, June 18, 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m., in Eykamp Hall in UE’s Ridgway University Center. This free event is a day of education, fun, and camaraderie for women who have served and currently serve in the United States military. The deadline for women veterans and current service members to register for the event is June 1.

The day’s activities include facials, manicures, massages, and more, as well as sessions on military benefits, networking, and career information. Participants can meet fellow veterans of all ages and from all branches of the service. In the past, attendees have ranged in age from 20 to 105 years old, and traveled from as far away as Oklahoma and Washington, DC, to attend.

Betty Moseley Brown, associate director for the Center for Women Veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs and Marine Corps veteran, will be the guest speaker. Brown is a dynamic speaker who has been instrumental in promoting awareness of the contributions made by women who served in the military through multiple department-wide efforts, such as VA’s Her Story campaign and the Face Behind the File: Women at War DVD.

Brown has held several positions at the VA, including veterans benefits counselor, women veterans coordinator, veterans benefits administration, compensation and pension service and later for the associate deputy under secretary for policy and program management. She was the VBS’s first outreach coordinator, coordinating outreach activities of five major programs and providing veterans and their dependents with information on benefits and services administered by VA. She serves as the national president of the Women Marines Association, a non-profit charitable organization composed of women who have served or are serving honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps regular or reserve components.

UE is proud to host this event and to celebrate the dedicated women who have served our country. The University has received numerous recognitions for being military and veteran friendly including U.S. News & World Report as a top Midwestern university and eighth for Best for Veterans. UE has also received recognition from Military Friendly Schools, Military Times, U.S. Veterans Magazine, and Military Advanced Education.

Women veterans and current service members may register online for the event at www.evansville.edu/veteransaffairs or by calling the Vet Center at 812-473-5993 or UE coordinator of veteran affairs Cherie Leonhardt at 812-488-2141.

Man Charged In Madison Bombings Targeting Police, Judge

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Federal authorities announced Friday a 37-year-old Madison man has been charged in connection with two pipe bombings that rattled the Ohio River city in March.

David Theiring was charged with two counts of possession of a pipe bomb and a count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler of the Southern District of Indiana announced. Theiring is suspected of playing a role in placing pipe bombs that exploded on the sidewalk in front of the Madison Police Department and outside the home of Jefferson Superior Judge Mike Hensley. No one was injured in either explosion.

“Striking fear into the heart of a community will not be tolerated,” Minkler said. “Those who use violence directed at the criminal justice system or any of its members will be held strictly accountable.”

According to a press release from Minkler’s office, federal, state and local law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Theiring’s residence on April 1 and found bomb-making materials, a .22 caliber rifle, and a 12 gauge shotgun. Theiring’s possession of the destructive devices on the dates was unlawful; a search of the records of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record failed to reveal any destructive devices Theiring registered. Moreover, Theiring, who has two prior felony convictions, could not legally possess a firearm.

This case was the result of an investigation by the Indiana State Police, the Madison City Police, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“ATF is committed to apprehending violent offenders and keeping the citizens of Indiana safe as we continue to work collaborative investigations with our state and local partners,” said ATF Group Supervisor Charley A. Scarber.

According to assistant U.S. attorney Lauren M. Wheatley, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Theiring faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. An initial hearing will be held in New Albany before a U.S. magistrate judge.
