Lambert’s Grand Slam Helps Softball Earn Split

1

Aces And Shockers To Decide Series On Sunday

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Morgan Lambert hit a game-tying grand slam before Hayli Scott knocked in the go-ahead run as the University of Evansville softball team split Saturday’s Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader against Wichita State.

“We showed great fight today, we had some long at-bats where we worked the pitch count and got what we wanted,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said. “I am proud of how we played today. We had our chances in the first game, but were able to convert on those opportunities in the second.”

Wichita State (21-15, 7-4 MVC) took game one by a 2-1 final before the Purple Aces (15-19, 3-8 MVC) clinched the second game, 5-4.

Four scoreless innings opened up play in game one before the Shockers saw two runs cross the plate in the top of the fifth. With two outs, Brittany Fortner and Liz Broyles each had RBI singles.

Evansville got its first two runners on in the sixth inning, but was unable to convert. The Aces had that chance once again in the bottom of the seventh. Susan Norris drew a walk to lead off the inning before Hayli Scott doubled to right to put runners on second and third to begin the frame.

Morgan Lambert brought in the first run with a sacrifice fly to center, but the Shockers were able to get out of the jam and clinch the 1-0 win. The Aces finished with four hits. Courtney Land and Susan Norris each recorded a hit and a walk. Jenni Brooks took the win for the Shockers, going six innings giving up one run on three hits. Morgan Florey went the distance, allowing just two runs on five hits.

After a pitcher’s duel in the opening game, Wichita State got on the board fast in game two. Five singles in a row in the top of the first inning saw them take a 2-0 lead. They struck again in the top of the fourth as Paige Luellen hit a home run to right-center to make it a 4-0 game.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Aces were able to get the first two runners on base. Courtney Land hit a single before Morgan Florey drew a walk. Between the two, they forced WSU starter Katie Malone to throw over 20 pitches. The Aces were able to load the bases up with two outs for first baseman Morgan Lambert, who took the first pitch from Malone over the right-center for a grand slam that tied the game up at 4-4.

It remained that way until the bottom of the 6th when Susan Norris drew a leadoff walk. Ashlee Kawall came in to pinch run and scored as Hayli Scott doubled to center. That was the game-winner as Florey earned her fourth save of the year, closing the door in the top of the seventh. Emily Lockhart earned the win, throwing two scoreless frames.

The Shockers outhit the Aces, 10-5, in game two, but Evansville’s timely hitting was the difference. On Sunday, the squads will settle the series with a noon game.

Statehouse rally set to oppose new abortion law

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Opponents of a new Indiana abortion law will rally Saturday at the Statehouse against new restrictions they claim are unprecedented.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is sponsoring the Rally for Women’s Rights at 1 p.m. Saturday in opposition to House Enrolled Act 1337, which was signed into law last month by Gov. Mike Pence. ACLU filed a federal suit seeking an injunction against the law Thursday on behalf of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky.

The law that would take effect July 1 prohibits abortions if the fetus has or may have a disability or on the basis of race or gender. It also requires cremation or burial of fetal tissue. The suit claims the law is unconstitutional because it places an undue burden on the right of a woman to choose to terminate a pregnancy.

“The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly stressed that a woman, not the state, is to determine whether or not to obtain an abortion. Indiana’s attempt to invade a woman’s privacy and to control her decision in this regard is unprecedented and unconstitutional,” ACLU of Indiana Executive Director Jane Henegar said in a statement Friday announcing the rally.

Henegar said the restrictions demean women and threaten the quality of their health care. “The ACLU of Indiana will continue to work to ensure that every woman can make the best decision for herself and her family about whether and when to continue a pregnancy without undue political interference,” she said.

Pence has defended the law as a “comprehensive pro-life measure.” His press secretary, Stephanie Hodgin, said in an emailed statement Thursday that the Republican governor “has every confidence this law is constitutional.”

“We will work with the Attorney General to defend the law that enhances information expectant mothers receive and enhances protection for the unborn,” Hodgin said.

A statement from the Office of the Attorney General Greg Zoeller said challenges to passed laws are a part of the legislative process. “It is important to recognize that all laws passed by the elected legislators and signed by the Governor are presumed constitutional until a court determines otherwise, and I would ask that everyone respect this legal process,” the statement said.

State Sen. Travis Holdman, the Markle Republican who sponsored the bill, declined to comment on the lawsuit. But Indiana Right to Life, an anti-abortion group that backed the measure, said Planned Parenthood has fiscal motives.

“This is the same song and dance we have seen from the abortion provider anytime they feel their lucrative abortion business is threatened,” group president Mike Fichter said in a statement. “They oppose any common-sense law that protects women and children because they want to protect their bottom line.”

Planned Parenthood says the bill also violates privacy rights. The organization does not ask patients why they are seeking an abortion, but the new law would require physicians to report if a fetal anomaly had been present prior to the abortion, which the groups say puts doctors at risk of being reprimanded.

The suit will go to U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, who in 2011 ruled against a law that would have prohibited entities who perform abortions from getting state funding.

North Dakota’s Republican-led Legislature passed a measure in March 2013 that blocks abortions based on unwanted gender or a genetic defect. The state’s sole abortion clinic, the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo, has said the ban doesn’t affect it in part because most genetic abnormalities are not detected until after 16 weeks into a pregnancy, when the clinic ceases providing abortions.

Minnesota, Oklahoma and Arizona require women to receive counseling on perinatal hospice services if they are seeking abortions because of a lethal fetal abnormality, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports legal access to abortion. Kansas requires counseling on perinatal hospice services before all abortions.

ALLEN, TX – The Evansville IceMen were not ready to put an end to an era in 60 minutes Saturday in the team’s final game. Trailing 2-1 with under a minute left in the third period, the IceMen scrambled to tie the game to force overtime, ultimately falling 3-2 in a shootout to the Allen Americans at the Allen Event Center.

The IceMen struck first, when Alex Wideman circled the Allen net and snuck a wrist shot from the right circle past the left shoulder of Allen goaltender Jake Hildebrand 3:24 into the game. The Americans tied the game when Spencer Asuchak buried a rebound in front of Evansville goalie Christoffer Bengtsberg. Allen took the lead 1:04 later when David Makowski blasted a shot from the point through a screen. The Americans led 2-1 after one period.

Allen outshot Evansville 12-5 in the second period, as both teams failed to convert on two second period power plays. Bengtsberg stopped all 12 shots to keep the IceMen within a goal heading into the third.

Evansville desperately tried to keep the season alive a few minutes longer in the third period, and with Bengtsberg pulled for an extra attacker,Tyson Fawcett tipped a Troy Rutkowski shot past Hildebrand with 48 seconds left to force overtime.

After a scoreless overtime, Gary Steffes recorded the only goal in a shootout to pick up the extra point for the Americans. Bengtsberg stopped 36 shots in the overtime loss. Hildebrand made 26 saves in the win.

The IceMen finish the regular season 29-33-7-3 and will sit out the 2016-17 season in preparations for the organization’s move to Owensboro, KY in 2017-18.
