Drake downs Valparaiso 38-13 behind Kraemer

Sports

September 23rd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Grant Kraemer threw for 445 yards and two touchdowns, ran for another score, and Drake pulled away in the second half to beat Valparaiso 38-13 in its Pioneer Conference opener on Saturday for its 14th straight win in the series. The Bulldogs (2-2) took a 17-13 halftime lead on Danny Donley’s short field goal after Valapraiso made a goal-line stand. Brock Reichardt’s 1-yard scoring run broke the game open in the third and Drake scored again on its next possession.

Drake had three interceptions and held Valapariso’s conference-leading offense to 294 yards, including 184 passing. The Bulldogs offense rolled up 567 total yards, including 122 on the ground. The Bulldogs hold a 22-3 series record against the Crusaders and its winning streak is the second longest active streak for most consecutive wins in an uninterrupted series. Penn has the longest active streak with 20 straight over Columbia.

Kyle Cartales ran for two touchdowns for Valapariso (1-3, 0-1). Jimmy Seewald was 17 of 31 for 173 yards and two interceptions.

Midwest Sports Headlines: 9/22/17

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — Dexter Fowler delivered again, getting three hits and driving in two runs as the St. Louis Cardinals overcame Scott Schebler’s two home runs to beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-5 for a three-game sweep. The Cardinals began the day 2 ½ games behind Colorado for the second NL wild-card spot and five games behind the Central-leading Chicago Cubs.

TORONTO (AP) — Jason Vargas and four relievers combined on a two-hitter, Melky Cabrera had three hits and the game’s only RBI, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0. Vargas struck out seven in 6 1/3 innings to win his third straight start. None of the three batters he walked advanced beyond first base. The Blue Jays did not have a runner reach scoring position.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is off to the best start of his career, making it harder on the organization to consider moving on from him next year. The 33-year-old Smith is near the top of the NFL in almost every statistical category, and most importantly, has Kansas City off to a 2-0 start.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has fired athletic director Shawn Eichorst, citing a failure to improve the “on-field performance” by the Cornhuskers. Chancellor Ronnie Green announced the move. Eichorst and football coach Mike Riley have been under increased scrutiny. Riley is just 16-13 at Nebraska, a school that has won five national championships but has not won a conference title since 1999. The Huskers are off to a second 1-2 start in three seasons.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The firing of Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst has turned up the pressure on coach Mike Riley as the Cornhuskers go into their Big Ten opener against Rutgers. Riley, whose team has opened with losses in two of the first three games, said he’s leaning on his decades of experience in dealing with the highs and lows of coaching to help his team get through this rough patch. Rutgers enters the game on a 14-game conference losing streak but with confidence after improved performances so far.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chargers have lost a slew of close games the past couple of years, including a heartbreaker in overtime to open last season in Kansas City. They hope to change their fortunes when the Chiefs travel to Los Angeles on Sunday. It won’t be easy with the Chiefs off to a roaring start following wins over New England and Philadelphia.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Big 12 boasts some of the nation’s top quarterbacks, whether it’s Baker Mayfield at Oklahoma, Mason Rudolph at Oklahoma State or Will Grier at West Virginia. And perhaps not surprisingly, the league’s best QBs have their teams off to the best starts. There are other quarterbacks tearing things up, too. The Horned Frogs’ Kenny Hill, Iowa State’s Jacob Park, Nic Shimonek at Texas Tech and Peyton Bender of Kansas are all playing well.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Things were supposed to be better this season for Missouri under second-year coach Barry Odom. After struggling to defeat an FCS opponent in the opener and then back-to-back blowout losses, it’s been more of the same for the woeful Tigers. Missouri hosts No. 15 Auburn on Saturday.
