Indianapolis Indians bring family-friendly events to Victory Field

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Indians are bringing a packed lineup of family-friendly events to Victory Field this week as they continue a seven-game homestand against the Nashville Sounds, Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

After kicking off the series with a Memorial Day win on Monday that extended their home winning streak to eight games and raised over $8,000 for INvets, the Indians resume play on Wednesday evening with a slate of themed nights through Sunday.

The week starts with Youth Clinic Night on Wednesday, where children 14 and younger can learn baseball and softball fundamentals directly from Indians players and coaches. Gates open at 5 p.m. for the clinic, which precedes a 6:35 p.m. first pitch. Fans can also take advantage of Half-Off Wednesday Night ticket prices, presented by AAA Insurance and Best-One of Indy.

On Thursday, fans are invited to bring their furry friends for Bark in the Park, presented by Pacifico, PetSuites and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Dog tickets are $7, with proceeds supporting local pet charities. The popular Thirsty Thursday promotion also returns, offering $3 Busch Light cans, $3 draft beers and $2 Pepsi fountain drinks. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with the game beginning at 6:35 p.m.

Friday features Friday Fireworks and Chick-fil-A Night, with postgame fireworks lighting up the skyline following the 7:05 p.m. game. Fans who purchase a Chick-fil-A Family Pack can receive special surprises at the ballpark.

The weekend wraps up with two fan-favorite theme nights: “Star Wars” Night on Saturday, and Sunday Characters on Sunday, which will feature appearances from Peppa and George Pig.

All games will be at Victory Field in downtown Indianapolis.

Police investigating shooting on south side of Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating a shooting that occurred on the south side of Indianapolis on Saturday.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers were called to the 1500 block of Luke Lane — which is located just off of Madison Avenue near Interstate 465 — to investigate a shooting. When police arrived at the scene, they located a person who appeared to have sustained injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.

IMPD indicated that the shooting victim was “awake and breathing” when officers found him. Police did not specify the exact age of the shooting victim.

A public police report on the incident indicates that, though officers were called to Luke Lane to begin their investigation, the shooting actually happened in the 8900 block of Country Walk Drive, which is located about five miles south of Luke Lane near County Line Road.

IMPD’s report on the incident also suggests that the shooting actually happened around 3:20 p.m. but was not reported until 10:57 p.m. Police’s report also lists a 17-year-old male as a potential shooting suspect.

As of this article’s publication, no additional information on the shooting had been made available.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl each scored 22 points and the Toronto Raptors wrapped up a successful five-game road trip with a 129-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.

Barrett made 9 of 17 shots with three 3-pointers for the Raptors, who won four games on the trip and improved to 6-3 on the road, 8-5 overall. Poeltl made eight of nine shots and had nine rebounds, but was just 6 of 14 at the line.

Toronto had seven double-digit scorers. Brandon Ingram added 19. Scottie Barnes had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.

The Raptors built a nine-point halftime lead and gradually pulled away, the margin reaching 26.

Pascal Siakam scored 30 points with five 3-pointers for the Pacers, who had just two regular starters in the lineup due to injuries. The other healthy regular, point guard Andrew Nembhard, had 22 points and five assists.

The NBA finalists from a year ago are 1-12 and missing seven players. The latest loss is guard Aaron Nesmith, who will miss at least one month with a left knee injury, coach Rick Carlisle said before the game.

Raptors: Host Charlotte on Monday night.
