USI Softball’s season ends just short of OVC championship-round appearance

0

PEORIA, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana Softball avoided elimination in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament early Friday with a 4-1 victory against Tennessee State University, but the Screaming Eagles’ deepest-ever run in the OVC Tournament came up a game short of a championship round appearance late Friday after a 3-2 loss in eight innings against Eastern Illinois University.
 
In the morning matinee against no. 3 Tennessee State (26-25), Southern Indiana’s bats were working from the first pitch in the top of the first inning. Back-to-back singles by the top of the order got things rolling. A few batters later, freshman infielder Sydney Long (Haubstadt, Indiana) drove in the first run before a productive RBI out by junior infielder Hailey Gotshall (Lucerne, Indiana) put USI up 2-0. Then junior Whitley Hunter (Nashville, Illinois), hitting in the designated player spot, brought home two more runs on a hit to the opposite field. The 4-seeded Screaming Eagles tallied four runs on four hits in the top of the first.
 
The game turned into a defensive pitching duel. Both starting pitchers, junior Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) for USI and senior Cailtyn Manus for Tennessee State, settled into a groove. The two hurlers posted zeroes on the scoreboard until the seventh inning when the Tigers tallied a solo home run, but Newman closed the door on Tennessee State after that.
 
USI scored its four runs on nine hits with Long leading the way with three hits and Hunter with two RBIs.
 
Newman earned her 22nd win of the season, allowing one run off three hits with a pair of strikeouts in the complete game. Tennessee State’s Manus dropped to 12-13 after also going the distance.
 
After defeating Tennessee State, Southern Indiana had to wait and find out who its afternoon opponent would be. USI eventually drew a rematch from Thursday’s contest against top-seeded Eastern Illinois (40-16), who fell in the middle of the day against no. 2 Southeast Missouri State University.
 
The win-or-go-home contest against Eastern Illinois started with three shutout innings. The Panthers broke through first with a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning. However, Southern Indiana equalized the home run in the bottom of the fourth when Newman provided her own run support with a solo home run to left field to tie the game at one.
 
Newman and Eastern Illinois senior pitcher Olivia Price pitched three more consecutive scoreless innings. Although USI put the potential go-ahead run on base in the sixth and seventh innings, the game carried on into extra innings still tied 1-1.
 
In the top of the eighth inning, the Panthers quickly generated momentum by getting the first three batters on base to load the bases. A sac fly gave EIU a 2-1 advantage and an RBI single made it a 3-1 deficit for the Screaming Eagles to come back from.
 
Southern Indiana did not go quietly, getting the first two batters on base and advancing both into scoring position with a sacrifice. Newman recorded her second RBI with a single to bring USI within one, but that was all USI scored as Eastern Illinois halted the comeback bid to end the Screaming Eagles’ 2024 season.
 
USI had two runs on six hits against EIU. Senior first baseman Lexi Fair (Greenwood, Indiana) had two hits while Newman finished with three and two RBIs.
 
On the pitching side, Newman went all eight innings and struck out four. Newman finished the season with a 22-10 record. Eastern Illinois’ Price moved to 12-9 with the win after surrendering two runs – one earned – in eight innings of work.
 
Southern Indiana ended the season with a 25-22 overall record. The Screaming Eagles went 16-11 to finish fourth in the Ohio Valley Conference regular season. Both win totals surpassed USI’s marks in 2023. Plus, the Screaming Eagles went deeper into the Ohio Valley Conference Softball Championship Tournament compared to last season, as USI fell just short of an appearance in the championship round. Now the program will turn its attention to preparing for 2025 and taking another step forward.

Errors plague Otters in series opener

0

JOLIET, IL – The Evansville Otters dropped the series opener to the Joliet Slammers on Friday, May 10 at Duly Health and Care Field. Errors plagued the club early as the Otters (0-2) allowed six unearned runs to the Slammers (1-0) before eventually falling 10-3.

First blood was struck in the bottom of the second frame. With one out, shortstop Riley Delgado made a throwing error to allow a baserunner. Three batters later, with two on and two outs, the Slammers ignited a rally of four hits in a row, scoring four runs.

The Otters sprung onto the board in the fourth with their first home run of the season, courtesy of Mason House who blasted a solo shot over the right-center wall.

In the bottom of the frame, Joliet responded with another run.

In the fifth, their second of three multi-run innings came on another defensive mistake from left fielder Donivan Williams. The ball kicked off his glove on a fly ball, elevating Joliet’s lead to six.

Each team scored one run in the sixth inning. Jake Green picked up his first hit of the season with an RBI single to left field, scoring Joe Burke who walked earlier in the frame.

Evansville plated its final run in the eighth inning. After a leadoff walk from House, David Menham brought him home with an RBI double to right field. Their third run was not enough, trailing 8-3. Joliet padded the scoring with two more men touching the plate in the bottom frame, finalizing the scoring with a 10-3 finish.

Despite the errors, the Otters had two incredible defensive highlights.

In the third inning, Austin Bost robbed Jake Marti of a line drive hit on a jumping dive toward the second base bag. House also flashed the leather in the bottom of the seventh inning, crashing into the right field wall while making a running catch to end the frame. Both men saved more Slammers’ runs.

House scored two of the three Otters’ runs, also nabbing an RBI. Jomar Reyes and Mendham each had two hits, with Mendham grabbing an RBI as well. Green was the only other Evansville hitter to drive a man in.

Braden Scott had a tough 2024 debut. The southpaw tossed 4.0 innings, allowing five runs (one earned) on seven hits with a pair of walks and three strikeouts. He took the loss, while Zac Westcott earned the win for Joliet, throwing 6.0 innings of two-run ball in the quality start.

Tyler Driver, Pat Miner, Tristan Harvin and Grif Hughs all made their 2024 debuts out of the bullpen. Harvin tossed a scoreless inning and Driver did not allow an earned run.

The Otters’ middle contest of their three-game set versus Joliet will resume tomorrow. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. CT. Coverage available on FloSports and the Otters Digital Network.

USI struck first in the opening game of the series, taking a 1-0 lead in the first frame. USI junior second baseman Thomas Emerich (Ava, Missouri) laced a double to right field to score senior first baseman Tucker Ebest (Austin, Texas) from second base.
 
The lead would remain 1-0 until the fourth inning when the Trojans pushed a pair across the plate for a 2-1 lead. USI responded to regain the lead, 4-2, with three runs in the top of the fifth.
 
USI junior centerfielder Terrick Thompson-Allen (Sioux, Iowa) scored from second and senior rightfielder Ren Tachioka (Japan) raced around the diamond from first when junior third baseman Ricardo Van Grieken (Venezuela) reached on a sacrifice bunt and throwing error. Van Grieken would come home to roost for the fourth run of the game and third of the frame on a sacrifice fly Emerich.
 
Little Rock would take its turn at the lead, 8-4, after posting a run in the bottom of the fifth and five in the bottom of the sixth. The Trojans scored all five of their runs in the sixth with two outs.
 
The Eagles flew back into the lead in the top of the seventh, 9-8, with a five-run frame of their own. Ebest started the rally with an RBI-single before sophomore second baseman Caleb Niehaus (Newburgh, Indiana) and junior leftfielder Adam Euler (Evansville, Indiana) forced in a run each with bases-loaded walks. Junior catcher Logan Mock (Livermore, California) finished the scored in the frame with a two-run single to right.
 
Little Rock bounced back once again to get the lead, 10-9, with a pair of tallies in the bottom of the seventh. The Trojans added to the lead with another run in the eighth to seal the 11-9 decision.
 
USI junior right-hander Peyton Brown (Clemmons, North Carolina) took the loss in relief. Brown (1-2) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk, while striking out three in two innings of work.
 
The Eagles started with junior right-hander Gavin Morris (Brazil, Indiana) on the bump. Morris threw the first 5.2 innings, allowing seven runs on 11 hits and a walk.
 

VU baseball season ends after pair of tough losses in Region tournament

0

NORMAL, Ill. – The Vincennes University baseball season came to an abrupt end Friday evening as the Trailblazers fell in their two games to start the 2024 NJCAA Division II Region 24 Pod A Tournament hosted by Heartland Community College in Normal, Ill.

The Blazers fell to host and defending National Champion Heartland C.C. 10-9 on a walk-off sac fly, before falling to Spoon River 11-8 in the very next game.

VU got off to a great start to the day in game one against Heartland Community College, opening up the scoring in the fourth with four big runs.

Vincennes got the rally going with a double by sophomore Blake Heyerly (Monroe, Ind.), followed by three straight singles by sophomore Trevor Newman (Fort Wayne, Ind.), freshman Nate Montgomery (Lexington, Ind.) and sophomore Kade Hinton (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Montgomery’s and Hinton’s singles driving in runs.

VU would add on with a run scoring groundout put in play by redshirt freshman Holden Clifton (Louisville, Ill.) before capping off the inning with an RBI double by sophomore Jace Parnin (Fort Wayne, Ind.) to put the Blazers on top 4-0.

Heartland immediately answered back on the home turf, scoring five runs in the bottom of the inning to take their first lead of the game at 5-4.

The Trailblazers would get back on top in the sixth with the help of three straight doubles by Hinton, Clifton and Parnin and an RBI single by sophomore Carter Whitehead (Huntingburg, Ind.) to regain the lead for VU at 7-5.

Vincennes would tack on two more runs in the seventh after a leadoff double by freshman Bradyn Douglas (Frankton, Ind.) and Blake Heyerly being hit by pitch for the second time in the game.

Douglas would come around to score on a sacrifice fly by Nate Montgomery, while Heyerly would be driven in on an RBI single by Kade Hinton to put the Blazers ahead 9-5.

Heartland again struck back with a big inning of their own in the bottom of the seventh, rallying back to even the score at 9-9 heading into the late innings of the game.

VU continued to battle, including getting a leadoff double by Blake Heyerly in the ninth, his fifth time reaching base safely in the game, but the Blazers were unable to capitalize and retake the lead.

Heartland found a way in the end, coming away with the game one victory in walk-off fashion with a sacrifice fly to give the Hawks the 10-9 victory and send the Blazers immediately into an elimination game against Spoon River College.

Sophomore Max Lines (Indianapolis, Ind.) got the start for the Blazers in game one and did his job, pitching two shutout innings, allowing just one hit and striking out one.

Freshman Bryce Gross (Bridgeport, Ill.) gave the Blazers some big momentum innings in the middle of the game, going two and two-thirds innings without allowing a hit and striking out two.

Sophomore Josh McCormick (Indianapolis, Ind.) was called on to get the Blazers out of a jam in the seventh and held on to pitch the final two and two-thirds innings of the game, allowing one run on four hits and striking out three.

NATIONALLY-RANKED SYCAMORES RALLY FOR 5-4 WIN OVER BASEBALL ACES

0
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. –  The nationally-ranked Indiana State Sycamores rallied for three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning on Friday afternoon to rally past the visiting University of Evansville baseball team, 5-4, at Bob Warn Field in Terre Haute, Indiana.
“I thought that we had a great effort from our club today in a nationally-televised game,” said UE head coach Wes Carroll.  “We had a lead with six outs to go, but just couldn’t close the door.
“I thought that we got an outstanding performance from Kenton Deverman today.  He really battled against a very good Indiana State lineup.  Now, we need to bounce back tomorrow to get back in the series.”
Indiana State struck first with a solo home run to left field by catcher Grant McGill in the third inning, but, after that, UE starter Kenton Deverman buckled down and got out of the frame and worked a perfect fourth inning.
His teammates would give him the lead in the fifth inning thanks to wildness by the Indiana State pitching staff.  Five walks by Indiana State pitching, including bases-loaded walks to UE junior outfielder Harrison Taubert and graduate outfielder Mark Shallenberger gave UE a 2-1 advantage.  A sacrifice fly by senior designated hitter Kip Fougerousse pushed the UE lead to 3-1 halfway through the contest.
Indiana State would answer back with single run in the bottom of the fifth inning, but UE would take a 3-2 lead to the eighth inning, as Deverman retired seven of the final eight men he faced on the mound.  Overall, Deverman limited Indiana State to two runs on seven hits and a walk in 7.0 innings of work, while striking out six.
UE would tack on a run in the top of the eighth inning on a double by graduate third baseman Brent Widder and an RBI single by junior infielder Cal McGinnis to take a 4-2 lead.  But, that lead would be short-lived, as a lead-off walk by Indiana State and a two-run home run by outfielder Dominic Listi would tie the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the eighth.  The Sycamores would add on an unearned run to grab a 5-4 lead, and ISU reliever Jacob Pruitt (3-2) would make the lead stand up by working a scoreless ninth inning to seal the victory.
Shallenberger was the only Purple Ace with a multi-hit day, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.  Shortstop Randal Diaz went 3-for-3 with a run scored and RBI to lead Indiana State, while McGill went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
With the victory, Indiana State improved to 35-10 overall and 18-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference.  Evansville, meanwhile, dropped to 28-21 overall and 14-8 in the MVC with the loss.  The series will continue on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. central time.  Graduate LHP Donovan Schultz (3-1, 6.01 ERA) will get the start for UE.  Saturday’s game can be heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS and seen live on-line on ESPN+.

Commission on Homelessness Issues RFP for Strategic Plan Consultant

Media inquiries may be directed to Joe Atkinson, Communications Director for Mayor Stephanie Terry, at 812-436-4965 or jatkinson@evansville.in.gov.

OK, that’s done.  Can we talk now?

Freedom, IndianaAuthor Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

Our nation is in big trouble; for the first time in decades, and in more ways, and far worse, than ever.  The way we’ve been voting is not working.  What we’ve been told about critical things, is not true.  Our nation, and much of the world, is now led by a consortium of Malthusian eugenicist psychopathic elites, who make anti-USA agreements in foreign nations, strengthen our enemies.  They own and operate this inherently tribal and so-called “Two-Party System” as a puppet show, to divide us against ourselves, and divert our attention from what’s really going on.  I wish I was making that up.  But I’m not.

Yes, it is a puppet show.  The first opportunity to weed out the disobedient and attach the strings to candidates who’ll dance, is Primary Elections, which, as implemented in Indiana and most other states, are an unconstitutional, costly and taxpayer-supported, year-long promotion scheme for only the status quo crony parties, and the corrupting organizations that own and operate them.  Worse still, it’s during primaries that many voters decide their votes for the General Election. 

Alternative party candidates like me, who earn their place on the General Election ballot without taxpayer money, are not only excluded from the primary election ballot, we’re also denied the free media, and political advertising rates granted to only Democrats and Republicans…not to mention all the dirty corporate, NGO, INGO and elite money that attaches those puppet strings to the self-styled “Major Party Candidates,” who end up becoming incumbents until they die of mildew.  We shouldn’t keep re-electing this destructive corruption.  We should in fact be very suspicious of the candidates who make it through the costly and corrupting degradation.  But the media rarely even mention alternative candidates, and there are rarely any public debates or forums, until early voting has already started, when over a quarter of us vote, without ever hearing there’s easy opportunity for change.

That said, 2024’s damnable primary election is now done, and we need to talk, and there’s not much time.  We The People really do need to talk…about our collapsing money, economy and culture, on the eve of WWIII, that is by easily available facts, the result of our collective compliance, inaction, and votes. 

This is much simpler than we’ve been led to believe.  We The People have all the power, because we have the numbers, the voices, and even the money and working hands that make, buy, sell, and empower, everything.  And every Election Day, we still have the Power of Peaceful Revolution.  Yes, election fraud is a thing, but we could fix that, too, if we really wanted to.  We have no excuses.  You know the saying, “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me?”  Are we still fooled?  Are we hurting enough yet to change our choices, and thus change the world? 

The most timely, actionable words of our once-precious Declaration of Independence are, “…that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

We’ve been repeatedly warned about that “same Object,” by heroes like General Smedley Butler, Presidents like Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy, and all the wise people in between and after; yet we did not heed.  So now, many of us are needlessly suffering.  We’re told it’s our duty to vote, but too few of us know what our vote is for.  (Hint: it’s not to hire politicians).  Too few voters are even looking for alternatives, though most now say they want them.  Most people say they’re sick of the so-called “Two Party System.”  But alternatives have always existed in and around every one of us.  Alternatives have always been on the ballot.  We’ve never actually had a Two-Party System.  That’s been yet another of many lies that we should never have believed.  You can see that the primaries have innumerable candidates of highly varied ideology and beliefs, and can win with less than a quarter of the vote; yet we’re told we must have only two choices on the day that really counts?

Our constitutional design for a republic is still the newest and best thing in politics.  It’s a design for self-government; which cannot be delegated away.  Only We The People can fix this, and only by changing our choices and actions.  More simply, nothing gets better until we fire the crony network ruling class, and elect new guards for our future security.

We’ve seen that with more than two choices on the ballot, winners don’t need 51%, so blaming “the masses” is no excuse to keep re-electing what we’ve got.  Enough of us want more freedom, prosperity, security and justice, with less spying, lying, war and cultural collapse, that Libertarians should have won even more than the 12 races won in Indiana elections in 2022.  We would win many, many more in 2024, if people would just vote the way they talk.

Do you want the kind of politicians with a plan that most say they want from their party?  I’m here.  There are lots of us, ready and waiting.  Let’s talk, please.

Liberty or Bust!
Andy Horning
