Weaver, Nicasio pitch Cardinals past Pirates 4-1

Sports

September 9th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Luke Weaver pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and also drove in a run Friday night, helping the St. Louis Cardinals improve their postseason hopes with a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cardinals have won seven of nine, pulling within four games of the NL Central-leading Cubs. St. Louis is even closer in the chase for the second wild-card spot. The Pirates have lost three in a row.

Waver (5-1) has won four straight decisions, not allowing more than two runs in any of them. He gave up seven hits, walked none and struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings. Weaver drove in the Cardinals’ first run with a broken-bat groundout and scored a run. Juan Nicasio made his St. Louis debut and got four outs for his third. The Cardinals got him from Philadelphia for a minor leaguer earlier in the week.

Nicasio pitched most of the season with Pittsburgh before being plucked off waivers by the Phillies in late August. He spent just six days with the Phillies, appearing in two games. Trevor Williams (6-8) allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Atlantic drops heart-breaker at Denison

Sports

September 9th, 2017 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans came out on the short end of a nail-biter on Friday night at Denison-Schleswig 31-28. The game was a methodical back and forth battle for about two and a half quarters before big plays took over down the stretch.

After a 14-all halftime score the Monarchs would score on their first possession of the second half to grab a 20-14 after a botched extra point attempt. The Trojans took a while to get the offense going in the second half but took a 1 point lead on a Chase Mullenix touchdown grab from Jaxson Eden with 11;53 left in the game. Trey Cappel’s extra point put Atlantic up 21-20.  Erik Jaime popped in a 22-yard field goal to give Denison the lead back 23-21 on the next possession. The teams would then trade three straight interceptions before a Denison punt gave the ball back to Atlantic with 3:02 to go on their own 7-yard line.

The Trojans mounted an improbable six play drive that traveled 93 yards and scored with 1:47 left in the game to lead 28-23. The drive was capped off by a 52-yard hook up between Jaxson Eden and Tyler Moen as he broke a tackle down the home sideline and scampered to paydirt.

But the Monarchs would answer right back.  Jaden Langenfeld had a terrific kick return that came out to midfield and set Denison up for the would be winning drive. Monarch quarterback Drew Polzin would hit Evan Wiebers for a 36-yard pick up on the first play of the drive. Three plays later the Monarchs scored on a Polzin lob to Cesar Rodriguez in the corner of the end zone. Rodriguez was right along the sideline but managed to make the catch on a jump and get his feet down in-bounds before falling over outside the boundary. Denison then lead 31-28. On Atlantic’s ensuing drive Rodriguez got his third interception of the quarter to seal the win.

Drew Polzin finished 11-16 for 182 yards and 2 touchdowns. Luke Staley led the ground game for the Monarchs with 81 yards on 17 carries and two scores.  Evan Wiebers led the Monarchs with 129 yards receiving and 1 TD.  Denison-Schleswig improves to 2-1 on the season and 1-0 in the district.

In the loss Atlantic’s Jaxson Eden threw for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns. Chase Mullenix caught 5 balls for 104 yards and one score.  Atlantic falls to 2-1 on the season and 0-1 in Class 3A District 7 play.

The Trojans return home to the Trojan Bowl next week to face Winterset.

Chiefs’ Berry out for season with ruptured Achilles’ tendon

Sports

September 8th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs safety Eric Berry ruptured his left Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s victory in New England and the three-time All-Pro will miss the remainder of the season. Berry was hurt while covering Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski on a passing route. He hobbled at the end of the play and sat on the turf, and it took a cart to remove him from the field.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid suspected after the game that it was an Achilles injury, and he said Friday that an MRI exam confirmed the diagnosis. Berry has overcome plenty of hurdles in his career. He missed most of the 2011 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee, then missed much of the 2014 season after he was diagnosed with lymphoma.

He signed a $78 million, six-year contract this past offseason.
