Otters drop series middle game
Schaumburg, Ill. – The Evansville Otters (21-28) lost to the Schaumburg Boomers (30-20) in the series middle game Saturday night, 18-5.
The offense got going quickly for Evansville. In the first, David Mendham led off the game with a single, he was then driven in by a JT Benson double. Pavin Parks scorched an RBI hit of his own to make it 2-0.
The Boomers would fight back scoring one of their own in the first but that did not deter the Otters. In the second, Justin Felix and Mendham hit back-to-back home runs to extend the lead to 4-1. This is the first time that Evansville has hit back-to-back homers this year.
Schaumburg would score in each of the next two innings, making it 4-3 heading into the bottom of the fourth. In the fourth, the Boomers extended their lead to 7-4.
Evansville did fight back in the fifth, getting one back on a wild pitch to make it 7-5.
The Boomers did not let up. They would score three or more in the next three innings and won by a score of 18-5.
Colin Murphy pitched a clean eighth inning, collecting his first professional strikeout in his first outing.
The Otters play Sunday afternoon baseball tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. at Wintrust Field in the season series finale against the Boomers.
In The Word 120, Follow God’s Word, by Jerome Stewart
Follow God’s Word by Jerome Stewart
Proverbs 14 vs. 34 says; “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” The words in the book of Judges chapter 21 vs. 25 comes to mind which says; “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Psalms 14 vs. 1 says; “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” Mankind has been given free will. We can choose to be a fool, but there are consequences for our actions, which will be judged according to the Scriptures. The bible is our roadmap for righteous living in this life. The Apostle Paul said to the brethren in Romans chapter 12 vss. 1 and 2; “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” So what renews our minds? The Scriptures! Everything Jesus did on earth as God in the flesh was according to the Scriptures. In Matthew chapter 26 when it was getting close to the crucifixion of Jesus, Peter had cut off the ear of Malchus the servant of the high priest. Vss. 52 and 53 the bible says; “But Jesus said to Him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father in heaven, and He will provide Me with more than 12 legions of angels?” A legion of angels would total 6,000. Vs. 54 Jesus says; “How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” Had Jesus wanted to He could have requested the Father to send Him one angel. Do not underestimate the power of the living God! The prophet Isaiah made reference to the defeat and death of Sennacherib king of Assyria in chapter 37 vs. 36. The bible says; “Then the angel of the LORD went out, and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when people arose early in the morning, there were the corpses-all dead.” Sin; will be punished! 2nd. Timothy chapter 4 vs. 2 Paul said to Timothy; “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort will all longsuffering and teaching.” So what would Jesus say about what is being preached today? The word of God cannot be held hostage by anyone rich, poor, or in-between.

INDIANA FAMILIES UNITED FOR CARE STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF HOUSE RESOLUTION 1
INDIANAPOLIS— Indiana Families United for Care issues deep concern about Congress’s passage of House Resolution 1, the budget reconciliation effort that is now headed to President Trump for his signature or veto.
The following statement may be attributed to Indiana Families United for Care Spokesperson Jennifer Dewitt:
“Hoosiers will die and Hoosiers will starve thanks to the heartless decision by Congress to upend decades of human services policy that has allowed Americans to thrive in their communities with their families,” stated spokesperson Jennifer Dewitt. “Our poor, our seniors, and disabled will bear the brunt of this decision. Blood is on Congress’ hands.”
