“We love Bosse High School and are so excited to be helping in every way we can,” says Leadership Everyone CEO, Lynn Miller Pease. “We are thrilled to hold our Annual Meeting at Bosse so that even more people can see how great this school is, and more importantly, how they can help make it even better!”

Game one set for 5 p.m. Friday

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After two weekends on the road, the University of Evansville softball team returns home for its final two weekend series of the season, beginning on Friday with the series opener against Murray State. ESPN+ will have the live coverage of all three games.

Last Time Out

– Southern Illinois earned a 3-game series sweep last weekend in Carbondale but the Purple Aces put their best foot forward in Sunday’s finale

– Brooke Voss’ sacrifice fly gave UE a 1-0 lead in the first before single runs by the Salukis in the second and third gave them a 2-1 lead and two late insurance runs made it the final of 4-1

Power Play

– Freshman Brooke Voss batted in all four runs by the Purple Aces in last weekend’s series at SIU

– Her 3-run home run in the first inning of the second game tied her for the team lead with five on the season

– Voss finished the Drake series with a 4-for-4 performance, marking her career high in hits; in the final two game of the series, she went 5-for-6

– Over her last 20 games, Voss is batting .357 with 20 hits in 56 at-bats while seeing her batting average rise from .146 to its current mark of .269

Another Strong Weekend

– Recording two hits in six at-bats during the SIU series, Taylor Howe led the team with a .333 average in the 3-game set

– That came on the heels of a strong finish to the Drake series that saw her go 2-3 with a home run and a career-high four RBI

– Entering that game, Howe had just one RBI in her first 23 games of the season

Scouting the Opponent

– Murray State opens the weekend with a 19-23 mark and sit at 7-10 in MVC contests

BASEBALL ACES HEAD TO BRADLEY THIS WEEKEND

04/19/2024

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team returns to Missouri Valley Conference play this weekend, as the Purple Aces head to Peoria, Illinois for a three-game series against the Bradley Braves. The series kicks off on Friday night at 6 p.m. in a game that can be heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS and can be seen live on ESPN+.

Evansville will bring a 19-17 overall record and 7-5 MVC mark into this weekend’s series after knocking off Indiana, 5-4, on Tuesday night. The Purple Aces will bring a five-game winning streak into this weekend’s series, and UE has won nine of its last 10 games overall. Evansville is currently in a four-team tie for second-place in the MVC standings entering the weekend, three games back of league-leading Indiana State.

This weekend’s series will mark the return to Peoria for UE junior infielder Cal McGinnis. McGinnis began his collegiate career at Bradley, and was a career .262 hitter for the Braves over 78 games the past two seasons. McGinnis transferred to Evansville in the off-season, and he has taken off while at UE, as he will bring a .321 average, eight doubles, two triples, two home runs and 20 RBI into this weekend’s series. McGinnis has already posted single-season career-highs for hits, doubles, triples and RBI this year at UE.

McGinnis is part of a UE offense which will bring a .295 team batting average into this weekend’s series. The Purple Aces rank seventh in NCAA Division I baseball this year with 94 doubles, and UE is just one double shy of last year’s season total of 95, which was set in 61 games.

Bradley will bring a 10-24 overall record and 4-8 MVC mark into this weekend’s series. The Braves will be trying to snap a six-game losing streak in Friday’s series opener, after dropping mid-week contests at Eastern Illinois and Iowa this week. The Bradley offense is led by one of the league’s top newcomers in sophomore infielder Beau Durbin. Durbin currently ranks fourth in the Valley with a .376 batting average, nine doubles, a triple, two home runs and 16 RBI. Senior catcher Logan Delgado is not far behind in average at .333.

All-time, Evansville leads the series with Bradley, 63-45. Last year, UE won two out of three games from the Braves, and since 2019, UE leads the all-time series over Bradley, 10-2.

Evansville will send freshman LHP Kenton Deverman (4-1, 3.98 ERA) to the mound for Friday’s opener. Bradley has not yet officially announced a Friday starter, but right-hander Noah Edders (4-4, 5.30 ERA) has been the typical Friday starter for Bradley this year.

THUNDERBOLTS DOWN BUT NOT OUT AFTER 7-2 LOSS TO PEORIA

04/18/2024

0

Evansville, In.: The Thunderbolts were able to rally in the first round after dropping the first game of the series and will now look to do so again in this second round series following a 7-2 loss to the Peoria Rivermen at Ford Center on Wednesday night, with do-or-die game two on Friday night in Peoria.

Although Peoria opened the scoring with a Jordan Ernst goal at 7:32 of the first period, the Thunderbolts played well in long stretches and were only outshot 10-8. The second period proved to be the big difference, beginning with an early Cale List goal at 1:41 to make it 2-0, and the Thunderbolts could not recover after coming up short on several power play chances to shorten the deficit. Seconds after Evansville’s final power play of the second period ended, Tristan Trudel scored at 18:03 to make it a 3-0 game. Just after that, Jacob Kamps was ejected following a major penalty for charging, with another goal being scored at 19:33 on the ensuing power play, as Mitchell McPherson made it 4-0 Peoria.

The Thunderbolts had a much more solid third period, holding even in shots at eight-apiece, and broke the Rivermen shutout on a power play goal from Chays Ruddy at 7:37, assisted by Scott Kirton and Brendan Harrogate. Peoria responded with a power play goal of their own as Alec Hagaman made it 5-1 at 10:47 and scored again at 12:23 to make it 6-1. Lincoln Hatten got Evansville a second goal on the power play at 15:48 from Kirton and Ruddy, but the Rivermen finalized the scoring with a power play goal from Ernst at 19:37, ending the score at 7-2 Peoria.

Ruddy finished with a goal and assist, Hatten scored one goal, and Kirton tallied two assists. In goal, Ceci finished with 28 saves on 35 shots. Game two will be in Peoria on Friday, April 19^th at 7:15pm CT, and if Evansville can rally to win game two, game three in Peoria will be on Sunday, April 21^st at 3:15pm CT.
