CHICAGO (AP) – Jake Arrieta struck out 10 in seven innings and the Chicago Cubs beat the sloppy St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 on Friday for their 98th victory, the most since they last played in the World Series in 1945.

Arrieta (18-7) allowed five hits and walked one, Anthony Rizzo had three hits and Ben Zobrist drove in two runs as the Cubs tied a team record with their 56th home win. They moved within one victory or one Washington loss of clinching home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs.

Chicago scored four runs in the first inning off Mike Leake (9-11) and dropped the Cardinals a game behind the Mets and Giants for the two NL wild-card berths.

Pedro Strop came off the disabled list to work the eighth, and Travis Wood and Carl Edwards Jr. finished the five-hitter.

Officials in the Postville School District are forfeiting tonight’s (Friday’s) football game, due to health concerns. Postville superintendent Tim Dugger. “We’ve had several cases of confirmed impetigo this week,” Dugger says. “In order to protect our students and protect the students of the North Linn School District, we have offered to cancel the game.”

Impetigo is a highly-contagious skin condition. It usually occurs in children under the age of five and is rarely found in adults. The superintendent says there is NO health threat to the general student population in his district. “The issue is with a few of the football players and the close quarters when it comes to athletics,” Dugger says, “so it is particularly confined to that group of students.”

Dugger says students who’ve contracted impetigo are undergoing the standard treatment. “They are on antibiotics and then we are requiring potential cases to be reviewed by a doctor,” Dugger says, “to be cleared by them.”

Health officials say the recovery time for impetigo is usually three days, so Dugger is confident all cases will be cleared by next week. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, someone with impetigo is no longer contagious about 24 hours after they start taking antibiotics. The rash from impetigo typically heals without scarring. Postville’s homecoming game is NEXT Friday.

The Atlantic Trojans Football team will go on the road Friday night to face the Creston Orient-Macksburg Panthers in a Class 3A District 7 game.  The Trojans come into the contest with a 1-3 record, coming up short in 3 close games after a season opening win against Clarinda.  A big reason the Trojans haven’t been able to get back into the win column has been a sluggish offense and Head Coach Mike McDermott says his team has been working on finding a way to get the run game going.

While Atlantic works to get the run game going the Trojan defense knows they will be facing a powerful rushing attack from Creston led by star Running Back Chase Shiltz.  Schiltz has rushed for nearly 700 yards on the season already and is averaging over 9 yards per carry for the Panthers. Coach McDermott knows the Trojans will need to try to slow him down first and foremost.

Creston Head Coach Brian Morrison knows the talent he has with Shiltz in the backfield to establish the run and he gives a lot of credit to the guys paving the way along the offensive line.

With their strong 4-0 start to the season the Panthers are eyeing one of the top two spots in the district to get into the playoffs.  Coach Morrison said his players have been focused on trying to take it one week at a time and putting their best effort on the field every Friday.

We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and the Panthers on Friday night.  Join Chris Parks and Mike Smith for the broadcast.  Catch our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm, followed by the Dvorak Tire and Service Pre-Game show at 6:30pm, and Kickoff is set for 7:30pm. You can tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at kjan.com, or on the KJAN mobile app.  You can also watch the game with live streaming video on KJANTV.
