  Banks of the Wabash Festival kicks off

  The 2013 Banks of the Wabash Festival, scheduled May 23 through June 1 in Fairbanks Park, celebrates 40 years along the banks of the Wabash River, 30 under the sponsorship of the Terre Haute Parks and Recreation Department.

  Banks of the Wabash Festival is more than just yearly entertainment

  Pioneers think counterintuitively. Where others see widespread apathy, they focus on the possibility for progress. In a way, the 2013 Year of the River celebration began in the 1970s.

  North baseball pulls away from South in sectional opener

  In high school baseball little things mean a lot, and the crack in the door doesn’t have to be open very wide.
  Terre Haute North burst through that crack in the bottom of the second inning Wednesday evening at Terre Haute South, scoring seven two-out runs and going on to a surprisingly easy 12-2 victory over the host Braves.

Eitel goes six solid innings in first start at Triple-A

Craig Pearson The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sun Jul 24, 2011, 04:59 AM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — Derek Eitel made his first start for the Triple-A Reno Aces on Friday night, tossing six innings in a losing effort at Sacramento, Calif.

The Marshall, Ill., native and former baseball and football standout for Rose-Hulman is in his second year in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.

Eitel allowed a second-inning, two-run home run to Andy LaRoche and one more earned run in the third against the Sacramento River Cats.

The Aces lost 4-2. Eitel scattered six hits in six innings, walking none and striking out five.

“I was real happy with it,” Eitel said Saturday. “There’s a lot of big league talent on that team so it’s a pretty good gauge of where I’m at. I know a lot of their guys have been in the big leagues and they’re one of the better-hitting teams in Triple-A.”

Eitel filled in for an injured starter at the last minute. Reno manager Brett Butler requested Eitel, who spent a few days in Reno to provide some help to the bullpen earlier this summer.

Eitel got the news from his pitching coach Doug Drabek after Thursday night’s game for Single-A Visalia.

“I was up there a few weeks ago. I impressed them enough to bring me back. They asked come back to have a start. That’s a pretty big compliment coming from a guy like that,” Eitel said.

Eitel threw 80 pitches, 49 of them for strikes.

“I went right at them. Pretty much all fastball slider, had a really good sinker. I had a 9 to 1 ground ball to fly ball ratio so I was doing what I like to do, letting my fielders work behind me,” he said.
