USI BB wins GLVC East with the sweep!

0

The 26th-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team won the 2016 Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division crown with a doubleheader sweep of the University of Indianapolis, 7-3 and 3-1, Friday afternoon in Indianapolis. USI saw its record go to 32-16 overall and 19-7 in the GLVC, while UIndy finishes the first day of the series, 31-17 overall, 16-10 GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles have won a GLVC divisional title four times in the last seven seasons, taking the East Division three times (2011, 2014, 2016) and the West Division once (2010). USI has gone on to win an NCAA Division II national title in 2010 and 2014.

USI junior right-hander Colin Nowak (Carol Stream, Illinois) struck out a season-high nine batters, while sophomore second baseman Sam Griggs(Evansville, Indiana) and sophomore leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) homered to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 7-3 game one win.

Nowak (6-2) won his sixth game of the year by going eight innings, tying his longest outing of the year. He allowed three runs on six hits and a walk, while striking out nine Greyhounds. USI senior right-hander T.J. Decker (Brazil, Indiana) finished the game for Nowak, pitching a scoreless ninth inning.

The Eagles scored all of the runs Nowak would need in the third and fourth innings. Senior rightfielder Kyle Kempf (Evansville, Indiana) doubled in USI’s first run before Griggs made it 3-0 with a two-run blast.

McNamara upped the Eagles’ lead to 4-0 with a home run in the fourth. Griggs and McNamara have hit a team-best six home runs each this year.

Senior catcher Ryan Bertram (Zionsville, Indiana), who had a team-high three hits in the opener, gave the Eagles some insurance in the fifth and seventh by driving in a run in both innings, while senior centerfielder Hamilton Carr (Evansville, Indiana) sealed the victory with an RBI-single in the eighth.

In the nightcap, junior right-hander Lucas Barnett (Sellersburg, Indiana) won his sixth game of the year with his fifth complete game of the season. Barnett (6-4) allowed one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out four in seven innings of work.

Nowak and Barnett are tied for the team lead with six victories each this spring.

Trailing 1-0, USI’s offense came to life in the final three innings of the victory after being no-hit through the first four frames. Bertram jumped started the USI bats with a double and scored on a wild pitch to knot the game up 1-1.

Kempf put the Eagles out in front, 2-1, with a solo blast in the sixth inning. The home run was the senior rightfielder’s third of the season.

The Eagles picked up an insurance run in the seventh when senior third baseman Trent Gunn (Tell City, Indiana) singled in a run for the 3-1 final.

The Eagles and the Greyhounds concluded the regular season Saturday at 11 a.m. (CDT) with final doubleheader moving from the UIndy campus to Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana. Grand Park also will be the setting for the GLVC Tournament next week.

YESTERYEAR-Evansville Braves

Legendary baseball coach Bob Coleman stands in the back row (center) with his triumphant Evansville Braves team after capturing the Three-I League pennant in September 1957. The minor league organized in 1901 and was composed of teams from the “I” states: Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. When the Braves capped a sensational comeback late in the season to defeat the Peoria Chiefs in 1957, they earned their first consecutive pennant and the seventh overall. Coleman was one of only two baseball managers who achieved more than 2,000 minor league wins during his long career.

LOTS OF LUCK, DONALD TRUMP

1

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

Now comes the hard part.

Now comes the part where Donald Trump has to appeal to everyone in the U.S.

Trump will rack up lots of easy votes in the fall with his rabid fan base — older grumpy white males and their spouses who want change but don’t really know or care if Trump is a Republican or a Democrat.

But voters who want to make America great again by being mean to Latinos or by putting tariffs on air-conditioners and iPhones won’t add up to a majority.

If he wants to become president, Trump has to mend a lot of fences, say a lot of mea culpas and learn a bunch of important political and economic things.

Like manners. Like humility. Like gravitas.

And like making nice with the Bush/Cruz/Kasich conservatives he’s been insulting and demeaning with sophomoric cheap shots for the last year.

The presumptive Republican nominee should start his political fence-repair work by trying to win over a few million women voters.

It won’t be easy. Three-fourths of women think he’s a piece of dirt and wouldn’t vote for him if he was married to Hillary.

I don’t know what it’ll take, or even if it’s possible, but somehow Trump has to prove that deep down he is not the sexist boor he’s been playing on TV.

I know one thing he should not do — attack Hillary for enabling her lecherous husband Bill and attacking the women who say they were accosted by him.

That didn’t work in the 1990s. All it did was make independent women vote for Hillary or stay home.

Trump’s long march to victory over the Republican political establishment has been an amazing thing to watch — kind of like a TV miniseries where the bad guy never gets taken down in the end by the good guys.

For a year he’s made fools of the media pundits and mincemeat of the professional politicians of his party.

He’s the un-politician who broke all the rules of the primary game and won. That’s a big reason he got so many votes in so many states.

We wanted a Washington outsider. What we got was a salesman. He did and said whatever he had to do to make the sale to the Republican electorate.

As I tweeted earlier this week, the GOP is no longer the Party of Reagan, it’s the Party of Trump.

Where he takes Republicans from here is anyone’s guess, but it’s probably going to be one of the wilder political rides in modern American history.

If America gets lucky, Trump will hit his head on a tree limb and when he wakes up he’ll be a real conservative who runs on a platform of slashing government spending and abolishing the IRS.

Or maybe he’ll hire some economists who can teach him why tariffs are bad for America because they punish consumers and not corporations.

Or maybe someone will explain to him why building a 300-foot wall on the Mexican border and rounding up 11 million illegal immigrants is not how a free — and great — country should do immigration reform.

Trump will need everybody he can get to defeat Hillary.

Who he picks for vice president will be interesting, but it won’t really matter because we know people don’t vote for a president because they like the VP choice.

It could be Rubio or Kasich, because that would help him in Florida and Ohio. It could be a Latina woman like Nevada Governor Susana Martinez.

Or, knowing Trump, he might go outside the box and name one of his business partners we’ve never heard of. No one knows where he’s going to go until he goes there.

There is one thing I know for sure. If Trump becomes president he won’t be able to treat the members of the G-7 or the G-20 the same way he treated the GOP 17.

Softball set for regular-season finale this weekend

Aces head to Loyola for final three games

Hoping to clinch a spot in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament this weekend, the University of Evansville softball team heads to Loyola for its final three games of the regular season.

Entering the weekend, the Purple Aces are 22-24 overall and 10-13 in conference play.  They stand sixth in the MVC and hold a cushion of two games over Missouri State and Indiana State, who are tied for 8th place in the league.  The Bears and Sycamores square off this weekend in Springfield.

Saturday’s action begins with a noon doubleheader with Sunday’s regular-season finale also set for a noon first pitch.

UE is coming off of a tough 3-2 loss on Wednesday against Southern Illinois.  With the score tied up at 2-2 following the first seven innings, the game went nine frames before the Salukis scored the deciding run.  Morgan Florey pitched the entire game, striking out eight SIU batters.  The freshman now has 200 strikeouts on the season and is just the second in program history to reach that mark in a single season.

Chandra Parr and Michal Luckett each had 2-hit days for the Aces.  Parr, along with Florey, knocked in the Aces’ runs, both of which crossed the plate in the third inning.

Parr bumped her team-leading batting average to .328 on the season and is tied with Florey for the team high in home runs (6) and RBIs (23).  Luckett boosted her batting average to .308 with her 2/3 performance against SIU, ranking second on the squad.  She is tied with Parr for the team lead with 45 hits and has logged in 146 at-bats, the most for an Evansville player this season.

Loyola begins the weekend with a 20-26 record and 4-17 in the MVC.  The Ramblers have dropped their last four games, each of which were on the road, but took wins in their last two home games.  They defeated Illinois State by a 5-4 final on April 24 before taking a 1-0 decision over Indiana State two days later.

Erica Nagel is the top hitter in the Valley as she starts the weekend hitting .447.  She has recorded 67 hits in 150 plate appearances.  Brooke Wyderski has also been strong, hitting .433.  Wyderski leads Loyola in home runs (9), RBI (33) and doubles (10).
