USI shuts out SIUE to open OVC Tournament

0

PEORIA, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana Softball opened its 2024 Ohio Valley Conference Championship Tournament run in Peoria, Illinois, with a 4-0 victory over Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Wednesday evening.
 
The 8-seeded SIUE Cougars (19-34, 10-17 OVC) defeated no. 5 University of Tennessee at Martin earlier on Wednesday, 6-1, to earn the right to face the 4-seeded USI Screaming Eagles (23-20, 16-11).
 
Southern Indiana scored a big first run of the game in the bottom of the first inning. With two outs, USI put together an offensive run. After a walk and a single, freshman infielder Sydney Long (Haubstadt, Indiana) struck a pitch back up the middle to put USI on the scoreboard, 1-0.
 
Both sides went scoreless in the second and third innings. The Screaming Eagles grabbed a little more momentum in the fourth inning. Sophomore outfielder Caroline Stapleton (Shirley, Indiana) generated some energy with a highlight catch to end the top of the fourth inning, crashing into the fence in foul territory down the right-field line and reaching over to make the catch.
 
The excitement from Stapleton’s catch carried over into the bottom of the fourth inning at the plate for the Eagles. Long led off with a double and scored in the next at-bat on an RBI double by USI’s starting junior pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana), who helped her own cause. Later in the bottom of the fourth, USI scored again with two outs with an RBI single from junior outfielder Kennedy Nalley (Huntingburg, Indiana), giving Southern Indiana a 3-0 advantage through four innings.
 
Southern Indiana added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Following a double and a single to start the frame, Nalley picked up her second RBI of the night with a sac fly and pushed USI up 4-0.
 
From there, Newman and the Screaming Eagles finished out the shutout win to advance in the winner’s bracket.
 
Long finished 3-3 with a run and an RBI at the plate for USI. Nalley tallied a pair of RBIs in the game.
 
Newman was credited with her 20th win of the season, moving to 20-8 on the campaign. The right-hander struck out nine in the two-hit shutout.
 
SIUE senior pitcher Kelsey Ray tossed a complete game for the Cougars, dropping to 8-10 with the loss. Ray surrendered four runs off 10 hits.
 
The Screaming Eagles will next play Thursday at 12:30 p.m. against top-seeded Eastern Illinois University from Louisville Slugger Sports Complex in Peoria, Illinois.

AFTER THE PRIMARY WHAT’S NEXT?

AFTER THE PRIMARY WHAT’S NEXT?

MAY 9,2022

by Johnny Kincaid

The primary is over! and based on the Republican voting record, Mike Braun will likely win the general election and become our next governor. Mark Messmer will likely be our representative in Congress. Cheryl Musgrave is out, and Amy Canterbury is in as the Republican candidate for County Commissioner.

The important races happened at the precinct level. Thanks to some recruiting efforts from conservative Republicans, there would likely be a record number of candidates to fill those positions. Provisional ballots may change the outcome of some races where the margin was just one or two votes on election night. This sets up a struggle for power in the local party that may result in leadership changes next year when a caucus will be held to vote on the county chair. 

The GOP State Convention in June will allow those who won delegate races to elect the Attorney General and lieutenant governor candidates. Micah Beckwith has been traveling the state to recruit delegate candidates to vote for him for lieutenant governor, saying, “It’s to elect instead of select” for this office. 

There could be fireworks as the governor candidate usually selects the second-in-command, and the convention delegates confirm that decision. Braun has not announced whether he has a preferred candidate for lieutenant governor.

Attorney General Todd Rokita is currently unopposed in his bid for another term.

The delegates from Vanderburgh County will be a mix of establishment Republicans who will likely follow tradition and vote for Braun’s preferred candidate and new conservatives who have—an allegiance to Beckwith.

Local IU & Purdue Alumni Groups Vie for Evansville Oaken Bucket In 8th Annual Red & Black Give Back Food Drive Competition

Local IU & Purdue Alumni Groups Vie for Evansville Oaken Bucket In 8th Annual Red & Black Give Back Food Drive Competition

MAY 9, 2024

The Indiana University Alumni Association Chapter of Greater Evansville (IUAA) and the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville (PACE) are hosting their 8th annual Red & Black Give Back food drive competition this Saturday, May 11, between 8am-12 noon at the six Schnucks locations in Evansville and Newburgh. Donations for the competition can also be made now through noon this Saturday by texting RED-BLACK to 71777; then follow the instructions to support your favorite team.

The winner will be determined by which club can collect the most food and raise the most dollars to benefit Tri-State Food Bank. Over its 7-season history, Red & Black Give Back has raised over $35,000 and has collected over 12,000 pounds of food – a total equivalent of approximately 160,000 meals – to help our Tri-State neighbors in need.

The winner is not only competing for a worthy cause but for bragging rights and their own Old Oaken Bucket. “The Purdue vs. Indiana rivalry goes back over 100 years, with the original Oaken Bucket football game going back to the 1920s. This rivalry is more than a competition, it showcases the greatness of each school and their contributions to their communities, the state of Indiana, and beyond. While the Oaken Bucket we trade back and forth for our local food drive doesn’t have quite the history, we believe this food drive competition shows the greatness and commitment of our alumni, as well as their dedication to give back to our community” stated Eric Johnson with the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville. Purdue currently is in possession of the bucket after inching out IU in last year’s tiebreaker round, making the current ‘score’ Purdue 4, IU 3, for the history of the competition between the two teams.

“The IU Alumni Association of Greater Evansville is excited to once again battle with the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville for the benefit of Tri-State Food Bank. We look forward to taking back possession of the Old Oaken Bucket, but the real winners in this endeavor are all those who are served by Tri-State Food Bank. We’re Hoosiers Fighting Hunger. GO IU!” stated Kyle King, Indiana University Alumni Association of Greater Evansville Chapter Board Member.

The six Schnucks locations participating in the Red and Black Give Back event are as follows:

  • Darmstadt – 600 East Boonville-New Harmony Rd, Evansville, IN
  • Evansville West – 4500 West Lloyd Expwy, Evansville, IN
  • Evansville North – 3700 First Ave, Evansville, IN
  • Lawndale Commons – 5000 Washington Ave, Evansville, IN
  • Green River – 3501 North Green River Rd, Evansville, IN
  • Newburgh – 8301 Bell Oaks Drive, Newburgh, IN

All food and tax-deductible monetary donations will benefit Tri-State Food Bank. Now in its 42nd year, Tri-State Food Bank operates out of an 80,000-square-foot facility in Evansville and disburses over 15 million pounds of food each year to over 300 agencies and feeding programs in 33 counties throughout the Tri-State.

For anyone with questions, or looking to donate or volunteer at the event, please contact the alumni group for your team of choice (listed below). Both groups can be reached promptly by email.
