ST. LOUIS, Mo.- The University of Southern Indiana roared back in comeback fashion showing incredible resilience to beat Eastern Illinois University on Friday afternoon at the Ohio Valley Conference Championship Tournament Quarterfinals in an incredible match, 4-2. The victory makes USI history as the Screaming Eagles earned their first OVC Tournament victory in program history.

The Eagles continue to defy odds after they were picked to finish dead last in seventh place in the preseason coaches poll. USI now owns an impressive 11-10 overall record along with a 5-2 record in the OVC. The record is a seven-game improvement from last season and gives the Eagles a winning record in only their second season of Division I competition.

“Our program has made tremendous strides the whole season,” says head coach Chris Crawford. “This win today was just another example of where our program is going. It’s history-making! The process is going in the right direction and I’m so proud of how we have competed this season.”

USI also got revenge on a tough Eastern Illinois team after the Panthers eliminated the Eagles last season in the OVC tournament. This is the second time USI took down EIU this season.

Doubles
The Eagles dug themselves a hole Friday afternoon losing two of the three doubles matches. The lone victory was freshman Anais Negrail (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) and senior Rachel McCorkle (Tulsa, Oklahoma) who won in dominant fashion firing on all cylinders, 6-0.

Singles
USI showed incredible character not letting their doubles results carry over to the singles matches. The Eagles clinched the match winning four of five competitions as freshman Antonia Ferrarini (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) beat her opponent 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 to send USI to the semifinals. The OVC second-team member earned her eleventh singles victory of the season.

Freshman Sofia Davidoff (Lagny-sur-Marne, France) also brushed off her doubles defeat, taking down her opponent 6-2, 6-3. Junior Madison Windham (Clarksville, Tennessee) gutted out a win moving her OVC singles record to 4-3.

Newly awarded OVC Freshman of the Year Negrail, lived up to her honor on Friday winning her doubles and singles matches. She outslugged her singles number four opponent 6-3, 6-4.

What’s Next
USI lives to fight another day in the OVC tournament taking on Southern Illinois University Edwardsville tomorrow at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center at 2 p.m. The Eagles look for revenge after SIUE beat the Eagles in the regular season.

The Aces men also competed in the hammer throw as Dove threw for a team-best 49.60 meters. Freshman Cole Johnson (Salem, Ill. / Salem Community HS) threw a personal record 33.81 meters.

UE’s final event of the day was the women’s javelin where Bryan set a PR at 28.62 meters. Junior Kaitlyn Sansone (Fairfield, Ohio / Mercy McAuley HS) had the best finish in the event with a throw of 29.82 meters for 18th.

Eagles outlasted by Skyhawks, 15-10

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball was outlasted by the University of Tennessee at Martin, 15-10, in the opening game of a three-game series Friday evening at the USI Baseball Field. USI is 15-23 and 5-8 in the OVC, while UTM goes to 14-23, 6-7 OVC.

The Screaming Eagles found themselves in a hole early as the Skyhawks scored five times in the first two innings to lead 5-0. USI would rally to cut the deficit to 5-4 with a pair runs in the third and fourth frames.

USI sophomore shortstop Caleb Niehaus (Newburgh, Indiana) pushed the first Eagle run across with a two-out double, while senior first baseman Tucker Ebest (Austin, Texas) drove in the second run with a two-out single in the third. The USI fourth inning runs featured RBI-singles by junior second baseman Lane Crowden (Jackson, Missouri) and senior rightfielder Ren Tachioka (Japan).

UTM re-extended the lead to 11-4 with five runs in the sixth and one run in the seventh. USI rallied to close the gap to one run, 11-10, for a second time in the contest by scoring once in the seventh and five times in the eighth.

The five-run eighth featured a two-run bomb by Ebest, his fifth home run of the season. Senior third baseman Nolan Cook (Evansville, Indiana) opened the scoring in the frame with a RBI-single and was followed by a RBI-ground out by Niehaus before the Ebest round tripper. The Eagles final run of the frame was a RBI-single by junior catcher Logan Mock (Livermore, California), who also had the RBI-single in the seventh.

The Skyhawks rebounded to take command with a four-run ninth and close out the 15-10 final.

Ebest led the Eagles at the plate in the loss, going three-for-five with a run scored, three RBIs, and the eighth inning home run.

On the bump, freshman right-hander Grant Parson (Owensboro, Kentucky) started and took the loss. Parson (3-2) allowed five runs in the first two innings, four earned, on six hits and two walks, while striking out six in five innings of work.

Up Next for the Eagles:

The Eagles continues the five-game homestand and the series with the Skyhawks Saturday for a 3 p.m. contest. The series is set to conclude Sunday at 1 p.m., while the homestand ends Tuesday with a 6 p.m. game versus Belmont University.

BASEBALL ACES OUTLAST BRADLEY, 9-7

BASEBALL ACES OUTLAST BRADLEY, 9-7

PEORIA, Ill. –  The University of Evansville baseball team exploded for nine runs in the first three innings on Friday night, and then held off a late charge by the home-standing Bradley Braves for a 9-7 series-opening victory at Dozier Park in Peoria, Illinois.

The Purple Aces opened the game with three runs in the first inning to grab a lead it would never lose.  Senior outfielder Kip Fougerousse and graduate designated hitter Chase Hug hit back-to-back RBI doubles into the left-center field gap to open the scoring, before a run-scoring error added UE’s third run in the first inning.

Bradley would get a run back in the bottom of the first inning on a solo home run by first baseman Timmy O’Brien, but UE starter Kenton Deverman would hold the Braves scoreless through the next four innings while his teammates would explode for six runs in the third inning.

After a pair of walks to open the inning, graduate third baseman Brent Widder produced an RBI single through the left side of the infield to open the six-run frame.  Another Bradley error on a hard-hit ball by UE junior first baseman Cal McGinnis scored another run before graduate catcher Brendan Hord followed two batters later with an RBI single to right field to give UE a 6-1 lead.  Senior shortstop Simon Scherry then blasted a three-run home run to left field to give UE a 9-1 advantage and end the night for Bradley starter Noah Edders (4-5).

Deverman (5-1) would cruise through the first five innings with a 9-1 lead, before the Braves would rally for four runs in the sixth inning to cut UE’s lead to 9-5.  O’Brien would launch his second home run of the game as part of a two-run seventh inning for Bradley to get back within two runs at 9-7.  But, that would be as close as the Braves would get, as junior reliever Drew Fieger worked a scoreless eighth inning, and senior Jakob Meyer recorded a pair of strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for his second save of the year.

Hug led Evansville’s offense by going 2-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI.  Scherry added three RBI, as he homered in his second-straight game.

Case # 24-04589

Neglect of a Dependent Causing Death Arrest

SUMMARY

On March 12th, 2024, at approximately 9:20 a.m. Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to 100 South Greenriver Road about an unresponsive one-month-old. 25-year-old Samuel C. Womack, the infant’s father, called 911 to report that the baby was not breathing. Womack reported that when he woke up that morning, he discovered the victim lying face down in the bassinet with blood coming from the infant’s mouth and nose.

Multiple agencies responded and lifesaving measures were performed but the infant was pronounced deceased a short time later at a local hospital.

At the time this medical emergency was reported the infant was in the father’s care while the mother was at work. Womack initially told officers that the infant was positioned on their back when put to sleep, but Womack later stated that he placed the infant on their stomach.

Womack’s statements throughout the incident and investigation have been inconsistent.

A thorough investigation has been conducted and on today’s date, April 19th,  Samuel C. Womack was arrested and charged with the neglect of a dependent causing death.
