Purple Aces Club Golf Classic set for May 16

0

Event to take place at Oak Meadow Country Club

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Oak Meadow Country Club will serve as host to the 2016 Purple Aces Club Golf Classic on Monday, May 16th.

One of the most important and entertaining fundraisers of the year, the golf classic is open to all.  Individuals can sign up to play for $150 while foursome’s are available for $600.  The entry fee includes your golf, a boxed lunch, drinks, a polo shirt and post-golf hors d’oeuvres.

On-site registration and lunch begin at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start commencing the action at noon.  A post-golf reception will begin at approximately 5 p.m. with the awards ceremony taking place 30 minutes later.

A registration link will be posted very soon, but to reserve your spot immediately, contact Amy Davidson at 812-488-2199 orad204@evansville.edu.

The format is a four person scramble where everyone hits off the tee.  Teams start on the regular tee and move back after a birdie, up for a bogie and up after two consecutive pars.  All players putt and there is a maximum of two putts on each green.  Mulligans will not be available.  In their place, a length of string will be provided to make a putt without an additional stroke being added.  Once a length is used, it cannot be reused.  Additional lengths may be purchased.

This format should allow for normal pace of play as it adds no additional strokes and actually eliminates strokes as a team from the fairway.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available and include a hole sponsor, longest drive, closest to the pin, carts, reception and event title.  For more information on those opportunities, please contact John Rodgers at 812-488-2488.

Built in 1906 as the new home of Bitterman Brothers, the store was designed by Shopbell & Company and featured the latest ‘Chicago School’ style windows. Street parking is available in the immediate area, including a few 5 minute spaces directly across the street on Main. “We’ll be happy to help you to your car with your bags,” adds Kruse. Plans are also in the works to provide curbside pick-up.

The building has most recently served as the home of the Bitterman Mini Shoppes. “There is so much retail history in this building. It’s warm and rich, and I believe people will appreciate that I have added to the building, not on top of it” said Kruse. She further adds, “There is such great vision for Downtown Evansville. We are fortunate to have plans in place to support the revitalization of our Downtown area.”

Kruse is pleased to be a part of the continuing resurgence of Downtown Evansville. “There are over one-hundred-thirty units of housing under construction within just of few blocks of the store, this feels like a great time to offer these items to the residents, workers, and visitors of downtown.”

Aces fall short in finale against Drake

0

Evansville travels to Kansas this week

Another hard-fought game saw the University of Evansville softball team come up just one run short as they fell to Drake by a final of 3-2 on Sunday afternoon in the series finale.

Evansville (11-12, 0-3 MVC) fell behind by a 2-0 score in the third inning, but tied it up behind a Morgan Florey double in the bottom half of the frame.  The Bulldogs (12-10, 3-0 MVC) came right back with what would be the winning run in the top of the fourth inning, taking the 3-2 win.

Florey and Danielle Freeman notched the Aces two hits on the day.  Amanda Blankenship made the start, throwing the first two innings, giving up just two hits.  Florey went the rest of the way, allowing three runs in five innings of work.  She took the loss.  Nicole Newman picked up her third win of the weekend for DU.  She went the distance, giving up two runs on two hits.

Drake pushed the first two runs of the game across the plate in the top of the third inning before Evansville had its first chance in the bottom of the frame.  Chandra Parr was hit by a pitch and advanced to third as Danielle Freeman hit one through the left side.  The duo advanced to second and third on the throw.

With two outs, Courtney Land drew a walk to bring Morgan Florey up to the plate.  Florey hit a high pop to left field that was dropped, allowing the tying runs to score.  The Bulldogs had a response of their own, posting a single run in the top of the next frame to retake the lead at 3-2.

Newman took care of business from there as she threw all seven innings on her way to her third victory of the weekend.

A trip to Lawrence, Kan. is up next for UE as they will play Kansas in a doubleheader on Tuesday.  Game one is set for 11 a.m. with the second to follow.

The 17th-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team could not salvage a victory this weekend, losing 8-4 to eighth-ranked Quincy University Sunday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI sees its record go to 11-7 overall with Quincy going to 12-3.

The Screaming Eagles saw the Hawks plate a pair of runs in the first and second innings in falling behind 4-0 for the second-straight game. USI rallied in the fourth inning to make a game of it with a three-run frame that was highlight by a two-run blast off the bat of sophomore leftfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Kentucky). The home run was the first collegiate round-tripper by the sophomore outfielder.

Quincy sealed the victory with single tallies in the fifth and sixth innings to re-extend the lead to 6-3. USI closed the gap to a two-run deficit, 6-4, with a tally in the bottom of the sixth on back-to-back doubles by senior third baseman Trent Gunn (Tell City, Indiana) and freshman catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana).

The Hawks put the game out of reach in the ninth when they plated a pair of unearned runs for the 8-4 final.

On the mound, junior right-hander Devin Williams (Evansville, Indiana) started and took the loss for the Eagles. Williams (2-2) allowed five runs, three earned, on nine hits while striking three in 4.2 innings of work.

USI freshman right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) finished the game for the Eagles, pitching the final 4.1 innings. Krizan allowed three unearned runs on five hits and walk, while striking out one.

The Eagles open the 2016 Great Lakes Valley Conference schedule March 25-26 when they host Bellarmine University for a pair of doubleheaders. Friday’s doubleheader is slated for a 2 p.m. first pitch, while Saturday is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.

F’s Steak House

F’s Steak House

The building at 125 Southeast Fourth has housed many restaurants since it was built in 1912. One of the most memorable was F’s Steak House, seen here in the 1960s, which opened in 1948 when the neighborhood was in decline. Over time, what began as a café serving sandwiches evolved into a popular, more sophisticated eatery that offered steaks, seafood, and possibly the first Cantonese cuisine in town. F’s closed in the early 1990s, but the site is now occupied by another restaurant.
