BREAKING NEWS: EVANSVILLE BAR ASSOCIATION PRESENTS JAMES BETHEL AWARD TO JUDGE DAVID KIELY
EVANSVILLE BAR ASSOCIATION PRESENTS JAMES BETHEL GRESHAM FREEDOM AWARD TO THE HONORABLE VANDERBURGH CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE DAVID KIELY
Evansville IN – The Evansville Bar Association recognized Hon. David D. Kiely by presenting the James Bethel Gresham Award to him on Friday, April 29, 2016, at the annual Law Day dinner hosted by the organization.
Judge Kiely began his legal career in 1989 entering private practice with his father at the firm of Kiely & Kiely. He was in private practice for approximately 9 years prior to being appointed as Circuit Court Magistrate. He was subsequently being elected Vanderburgh Superior Court Judge and elected Vanderburgh Circuit Court Judge in 2012, where he continues to serve.
Judge Kiely created the very first Veterans Treatment Court in the state of Indiana and has worked diligently to expand into other counties. He also co-manages, with Judge Trockman, the Vanderburgh County Day Reporting Drug Court, Re-entry Court Program and Forensic Diversion Program.
The James Bethel Gresham Freedom Award was established by the Evansville Bar Association to recognize and honor individuals who have distinguished themselves in activities or careers which have elevated respect for the law, promoted freedom, or otherwise furthered the ideals for which Law Day is recognized and celebrated. The purpose of Law Day is to remind people throughout the country of the importance of the law and the role that it plays in our lives and in the basic freedoms which we all cherish and enjoy. This award is named in honor of James Bethel Gresham who lived in Evansville from 1901 to 1914 and is believed to have been the first American soldier to have given his life in combat during World War I.
Baseball Splits Doubleheader With Illinois State
U OF E Splits Doubleheader With Illinois State
EVANSVILLE – An errant throw in the 11th inning created the opening that the University of Evansville baseball team was looking for as the Aces salvaged a split with visiting Illinois State at Charles H. Braun Stadium on Friday night.
The Aces, who dropped the first game 4-0 before rebounding with the 4-3 victory in the nightcap, improved to 24-16 on the season with a 7-4 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. Meanwhile, the Redbirds will head into Saturday’s rubber game at 13-28 on the year with a 3-7 record in league play.
After dropping the first contest of the day, UE jumped on the visiting Redbirds in the opening stanza. Singles from Eric McKibban and Boomer Synek as well as a Korbin Williams walk loaded the bases for Josh Jyawook with two outs, and the senior out of Hoffman Estates, Ill., delivered, singling to center to score a pair. Jonathan Ramon followed up with a single of his own to cash in the third.
Both Synek and Jyawook would be the only Aces with multiple hits in the contest as each finished 2-for-6 at the plate.
Brandon Gomer, who got the nod on the mound for UE, was able to hold the visitors from Normal, Ill., scoreless in each of the first two innings, but the Redbirds mounted a two-out rally of their own in the third. Sean Beesley cut the deficit to one with a double to right center, but Gomer was able to ultimately negate the threat, getting Ryan Hutchinson to swing at strike three to end the inning.
Brent Jurceka, who proved effective for most of the night, was ultimately on the hook for allowing the tying score in the eighth as Jean Ramirez followed up a failed pickoff attempt from Synek with a single up the middle to level the game, and it would stay that way until the bottom of the 11th.
In that final inning, Trey Hair led off with a single to center, and he moved into scoring position after Korbin Williams was hit by a pitch. In the ensuing at-bat, Jyawook flied out to left, and in an attempt to catch Williams off the bag at first base, ISU shortstop Owen Miller overthrew his intended target, allowing Hair to touch home and bring the game to an end.
UE, which has yet to lose an MVC series this season, will play in a fourth consecutive series-deciding game three on Saturday, and first pitch is slated for 2 p.m.
NOTES: Friday marked the fourth walk-off victory of the season for the Aces … The team is now 2-1 this season in extra-innings games … UE will be aiming to win a fourth consecutive league series for the first time since the 2014 campaign … Since 1978, the Aces are 52-58 all-time against Illinois State … The first meeting between the two schools was a 1-1 tie in 1948 … Last season, the Aces took home two out of three in a series that was staged in Normal … UE won all three meetings by a combined 27-6 score in 2014, which was the previous trip to Evansville for the Redbirds.
USI Softball Rallies Past Bellarmine In GLVC Tourney Opener
USI Softball Rallies Past Bellarmine In GLVC Tourney Opener
Southern Indiana (34-17): 9
Bellarmine (32-25): 7
-Box Score | Highlights
EAST PEORIA, Ill.—University of Southern Indiana Softball junior catcher Haley Hodges (Portage, Indiana) hit two bombs as the Screaming Eagles scored nine unanswered runs to defeat Bellarmine University, 9-7, in the opening round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament Friday afternoon.
USI (34-17) trailed 7-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth inning when sophomore first baseman Marleah Fossett (Brownsburg, Indiana) put the Eagles on the scoreboard with a two-run shot over the leftfield fence.
Hodge’s home run over the leftfield fence in the fifth inning cut the Eagles’ deficit to four runs, while a solo home run by junior shortstop Lexi Reese (Lebanon, Indiana) to lead off the sixth frame cut USI’s deficit to three runs.
After seeing the Knights (32-25) score six times in the top of the third inning, the Eagles returned the favor in the sixth frame as they plated six runs to take the 9-7 advantage.
USI followed Reese’s home run in the sixth inning with RBI-singles by sophomore third baseman Mena Fulton (Bloomington, Indiana) and senior centerfielder Janna Green (Glenwood, Indiana).
With USI trailing 7-6 and runners at second and third and two outs, Bellarmine elected to intentionally walk Hodges, who was named the GLVC Player of the Year Thursday night. However, with a 1-0 count, Bellarmine pitcher Ally Foster hung the ball over the middle of the plate.
Hodges made Foster pay for the mistake as she unloaded on the pitch, sending the ball over the centerfield fence for her GLVC-best 21st home run of the season and RBIs 67, 68, and 69.
Freshman Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) entered the circle in a relief appearance to earn her sixth win of the year. Bradley (6-2) allowed just two runs, one earned, while striking out six in 4.1 innings of work.
USI takes on No. 6 University of Missouri-St. Louis in the second round of the GLVC Tournament Friday at 4 p.m. The Tritons, who swept the Eagles in a doubleheader to end the regular season, defeated McKendree University, 5-0, to open GLVC play Friday morning.
