Otters fall in road trip finale
SAUGET, IL – The Evansville Otters (6-15) fell in a rubber match to the Gateway Grizzlies (14-7) 16-2 on Sunday at Grizzlies Ballpark. The Otters had leads on two separate occasions but could not hold on.
The game opened with a bright spot in the top of the first inning. With two outs, David Mendham hit his first home run of the season to get the Otters on the board.
In the bottom of the inning, Gateway matched scores with a home run of their own to tie the game.
In the fourth inning, runners were on second and third when Randy Bednar hit a sacrifice fly to plate Mike Peabody. The Otters took their final lead of the afternoon with the 2-1 score.
From then, the Grizzlies put up crooked numbers in the next three innings. They launched four home runs during the stretch, including two three-run bombs and a grand slam.
Zach Smith (0-4) was solid through the first three innings as the starter. The Grizzlies got to him in the fourth frame and chased him quickly in the fifth. The righty surrendered seven runs.
While the next two arms out of the bullpen for the Otters also yielded multiple runs, Tristan Harvin and Leoni De La Cruz combined for three scoreless innings to close the game.
The Otters will head home with an off day tomorrow. The Lake Erie Crushers come to town to kickoff a six-game home stand. Tuesday is a Fifth Third Bank Family Tuesday, with all GA tickets available for just $2. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM CT. Coverage is available on the Otters Digital Network and FloBaseball.

DESTINY WELLS RESPONDS TO TODD ROKITA: UPHOLDING RULE OF LAW AND EMBRACING COMMUNITY AUTONOMY
DESTINY WELLS RESPONDS TO TODD ROKITA: UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW AND EMBRACING COMMUNITY AUTONOMY
JUNE 3. 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today Destiny Wells, Democratic candidate for Indiana Attorney General, responded to Attorney General Todd Rokita’s recent press release threatening legal action against Indiana cities and counties that maintain policies he deems “sanctuary” for immigrants. Wells, currently in our nation’s capital engaging in discussions on immigration as a national security imperative, reaffirmed her commitment to uphold the rule of law while respecting the autonomy of local communities:
“Attorney General Rokita’s approach to immigration and sanctuary cities is both divisive and detrimental to the unity and safety of our communities,” Wells stated. “As Attorney General, I will not attack localities for making decisions best suited for their unique circumstances. Immigration policy is fundamentally a federal issue, and I will provide the latitude for federal authorities to address these matters appropriately. If the federal government asks for our assistance, we will assist within our duties. However, we will not go looking to use our statutory authorities to meddle in local affairs.”
Wells is attending a panel discussion titled “Immigration as a National Security Imperative: Enhancing National Security through Economic Growth, Strategic Competition, Human Rights, and Foreign Policy.” Wells emphasized the importance of viewing immigration policy through a broader, more comprehensive lens that includes economic and strategic considerations:
“The discussions I am part of today in DC underscore the potential for immigration policy to enhance our national security. By investing in economic growth, strategic competition, human rights, and foreign policy, we can create a more secure and prosperous nation,” Wells said. “This is a complex issue requiring thoughtful, multi-faceted solutions rather than fear-mongering and punitive measures against our own communities.”
Wells reiterated her commitment to upholding the rule of law while also ensuring that Indiana’s local governments can operate in ways that reflect their values and needs. “We must find a balance that respects the rule of law, supports our federal partners, and honors the autonomy of our local communities,” she said. “Hoosier taxpayers deserve policies that are both just and effective, not political grandstanding that jeopardizes our unity and safety.”
As Attorney General, Wells pledges to work collaboratively with local, state, and federal authorities to develop fair and effective immigration policies that protect the rights and security of all Indiana residents. “We welcome immigrants who contribute to our communities and share our values,” Wells concluded. “By working together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive Indiana.”
