Morgan Florey Earns Second Newcomer Of The Week Award
Florey Had Great Week For UE
 ST. LOUIS – For the second time in her freshman campaign, University of Evansville pitcher Morgan Florey has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week.
“Morgan did a great job this week both at the plate and in the circle,†head coach Mat Mundell said. “She is gaining more confidence at the plate which is giving our offense a boost.â€
Florey got the job done at the plate and in the circle as the Purple Aces went 2-2 this week. Pitching a total of 20 innings, Florey accumulated a 3.15 ERA. She picked up her 6th win of the season against UT Martin as she went 3 2/3 innings. She grabbed another win in the series opener at Bradley, going the full six innings, giving up just two runs and striking out seven.
She also pitched 10 1/3 innings in the final two games at BU. At the plate, she was 4-9, finishing the week batting .444. Against UT Martin, Florey went 1-2 with a 2-run home run, the first of her career. She was stellar at the plate against Bradley, opening the series going 3-4 with 2 RBI, 2 walks and 2 doubles. The second game of the DH saw her go 0-1, but she got on base via three walks and scored a run. She drew two walks once again in the series finale on Sunday.
Florey and the Purple Aces are at home for their next five contests. On Wednesday, UE takes on Austin Peay in a 3 p.m. doubleheader before welcoming Wichita State to Cooper Stadium on Saturday (12 p.m. DH) and Sunday (12 p.m. single game).

YESTERYEAR -209 SE Fourth Street
Since 1930, the building at 209 SE Fourth Street has serviced automobiles. In that year, Bayard Tire acquired the property, followed by Goodyear Tire (seen here) a couple of decades later; more recently, a collision repair shop has occupied the premises. The buildings have been altered since the photo was taken, but the name “Smith†is still visible today in the brickwork above the double garage doors. Originally, the building belonged to the Robert Smith Mortuary, which operated there from 1909 to 1930; it had been founded in 1864 and eventually evolved into the now defunct Greek-Shears Mortuary in 1967.
