Legendary Harlan sportscaster Ron Novotny passes away

Sports

May 7th, 2022 by admin

Longtime KNOD sportscaster Ron Novotny has passed away recently at his home in Harlan. Ron was long known as the voice of the Harlan Community Cyclones, calling games for the station’s hometown team along with other area schools.

Ron broadcasted sports for 53 years on the radio. He had scaled back his work the past year or so and just recently fully stepped away from the mic with a retirement party earlier this year.

Ron was known for his unique broadcast style and catchphrases. Such as “The sow is out of the barn” when a game was in control by a team late in the contest.

We send our thoughts to all associated with Ron and our colleagues at our sister station KNOD. Rest in Peace Rockin’ Ron.

Coach Ed Den Beste: “Carroll Country Club was in great shape today. Best we have seen this year. Hoping our boys could play well today. Temps were good but wind come up once again. Garrett is hitting the ball much better. Probably should have scored better then he did but good score of 84. Lane had trouble is several spots. His putting was great though. Need to work on getting off tee better and chipping. Good to see Tristan play well on a course he had never seen before. Continued his bogey golf. Cruz struggled at times. Puting was better. Needs to work on his driver and not getting in trouble. Roth had two holes that he was 12 over. Played well on many holes to keep it below 100. Tate struggled as well but kept is close to 100. We all know we can shoot better and need to on Monday at Conference.”

Cardinals get a run in the 9th to edge past Giants

Sports

May 7th, 2022 by admin

St. Louis Cardinals rookie Juan Yepez hit a double down the third base line in the 9th inning and Dylan Carlson drove in that run with a single to center, lifting the Cardinals to a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

The game was tied virtually the whole night with both teams scoring two runs in the 5th before the go ahead run by St. Louis in the 9th. Harrison Bader drove in the other two runs for the Cardinals with a two-run homer, his second of the season.

Ryan Helsley was credited with the win on the mound going just one inning. Giovanny Gallegos came on in the ninth for his sixth save of the year.

The Cardinals improved to 16-10 and will face the Giants again on Saturday at 6:15 p.m. CT. We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame at 5:20 p.m.

Hawkeyes win series opener over Purdue, 5-2

Sports

May 7th, 2022 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Redshirt sophomore Adam Mazur flirted with his second straight complete game shutout and the University of Iowa baseball team’s offense put up a five spot in the third inning en route to a 5-2 series-opening victory over Purdue on Friday at Duane Banks Field.

The win moves the Hawkeyes to 27-15 overall and 11-5 in Big Ten play.  Iowa has won seven straight series openers dating back to March 25.

Mazur tossed 8 2/3 shutout innings before giving up two runs with two outs in the top of the ninth.  The righthander retired 11 straight Boilermakers from the third through the sixth innings before surrendering a leadoff single in the seventh.

“I was pitching into the zone and letting them hit it,” said Mazur, who improves to 6-2 this season. “I know I have a lot of good help behind me.”

Iowa’s offense scored five runs – all in the third inning – and finished with 10 hits in the game.

Seven different Hawkeyes tallied a hit with Fullard leading the way with a 3-for-4 day with one RB

UP NEXT

Game two of the series will begin at 11:02 a.m. (CT) on Saturday.  We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame starting at 10:30 a.m.
