USI ADVANCES TO REGIONAL FINALS
The University of Southern Indiana baseball team advanced to the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional finals for the second time in three seasons after defeating sixth-seeded Ashland University in a slugfest, 13-8, Saturday evening in Quincy, Illinois. USI, the fourth seed, sees its record go to 36-19 overall, while Ashland watches its mark go to 33-21.
With the victory, the unbeaten Screaming Eagles earn the day off on Sunday as top-seeded Quincy University, fifth-seeded Missouri University of Science & Technology, and Ashland battle for the right to play USI for the regional crown on Monday. The first regional final game Monday is slated for noon. Should the Eagles lose the noon contest, an “if necessary game” would follow at 3:30 p.m.
USI senior rightfielder Kyle Kempf (Evansville, Indiana) got the offense going in the first inning, hitting his fifth home run of the season and his second of the regional to put Eagles up, 1-0. The Eagles increased the early lead to 2-0 on senior third baseman Trent Gunn‘s (Tell City, Indiana) sacrifice fly in the second inning.
Ashland, however, was not about to go quietly and rallied to take a lead of its own, 3-2, in the bottom of the second.
The Eagles bounced back with a 4-run spurt in the third, highlighted by five-straight two-out hits, to retake the advantage, 6-3. Ashland responded in the bottom half of the inning to cut USI’s margin to 6-5.
USI extended the lead to three, 8-5, in the top of the fourth when Kempf doubled in a run and senior catcher Ryan Bertram (Zionsville, Indiana) singled in Kempf. One inning later, USI gave up the lead for the second time when Ashland knotted the game up, 8-8, with a three-run fifth.
Senior first baseman Andrew Cope (Evansville, Indiana) provided the offense in the final three innings to get USI the victory. Cope drove in the eventual game-winning run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh to make the score 9-8 before highlighting a four-run ninth with a two-run blast to right field as the Eagles closed out the 13-8 victory.
On the mound, senior right-hander Alex Holder (Princeton, Indiana) gave the Eagles five strong innings in relief to earn his fourth win of the year. Holder (4-5) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out three.
Senior right-hander T.J. Decker (Brazil, Indiana) was clutch once again in the final innings as he earned his third save of the regional. Decker pitched two innings, allowing two walks and striking out three in picking up his team-best ninth save of 2016.
The Eagles started freshman right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana). Krizan earned a no decision after going two innings and allowing five runs, two earned.
OTTERS COME UP SHORT ON STAR WARS NIGHT
EVANSVILLE, IN, May 21, 2016 – The Evansville Otters were defeated 4-2 in front of their largest crowd of the season against the Florence Freedom on Star Wars Night at Bosse Field. Florence jumped on the board early and never looked back when in the first inning the team was able to score a run following a groundout with runners at second and third base. The Freedom would go on to score two additional runs the very next inning after a pair of doubles and a pair of stolen bases. Evansville’s first run of the game was delivered in the bottom of the second when Kurt Wertz Jr. grounded into a force-out with runners at second and third. Nik Balog crushed a double off of the left-center field fence to help set the table for Wertz. The Otters would score again in the fourth, but couldn’t muster another run for the rest of the contest. It appeared that Evansville had a chance to make a comeback in the eighth with the score 3-2 and runners at first and second, however, a shallow hit fly ball gave the Freedom centerfielder a perfect opportunity to make a nifty catch and then double off the lead Otter runner. Florence would smack a solo homerun in the ninth to help seal their victory.
Evansville will look to bounce back tomorrow as they play the series finale against the Florence Freedom at Bosse Field, with first pitch slated for 5:05 pm CDT. Tickets are on sale and may be obtained online by calling (812) 435-8686.

Man loses “Home Damage Appeal” That Blamed Neighbor’s Watering
Man loses “Home Damage Appeal” That blamed Neighbor’s Watering
Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com
A man whose Monroe County home was lost to mold contamination lost his appeal of a jury verdict in favor of his neighbor. The homeowner had claimed his neighbor’s excessive watering of her lawn caused water damage to the basement of his home.
David Kimbrough sued Ramona Anderson in August 2012, alleging that her watering habits caused mass amounts of water to flow from her yard into the lower level of his home over a period of years. But by that time, the home had fallen into such disrepair that the Monroe County Assessor removed the residence form the tax roll due to “severe black mold damage.â€Â Kimbrough also lost an art collection that an appraiser valued as worthless due to mold contamination.
The jury returned a verdict for Anderson after hearing testimony that included witnesses who testified there were numerous maintenance issues with Kimbrough’s residence that could allow water to infiltrate into the wall and then into the foundation. Another of Anderson’s witnesses, a hydrogeologist, attributed the cause of damage to poorly installed drains around the foundation, lack of a sump pump, poor grading, or poorly maintained gutters.
Kimbrough argued much of that evidence should not have been admitted, nor should the jury have known about an insurance claim he filed for water damage at the house in 2006, before Anderson moved there. Mold problems at the home were first detected then. He also said the jury was improperly instructed on Anderson’s affirmative defense arguments of Kimbrough’s comparative fault and failure to mitigate.
In David L. Kimbrough v. Ramona F. Anderson, 53A05-1507-PL-883, the panel affirmed the jury verdict. “(W)e conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in precluding testimony from Anderson’s insurance company regarding instructions given to Kimbrough, in admitting Kimbrough’s prior home insurance claim file, and in admitting one of Anderson’s expert reports into evidence,” Judge Paul Mathias wrote for the court. “Further, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kimbrough’s motion for judgment on the evidence on two of Anderson’s affirmative defenses or in instructing the jury.”
