OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of pulling a gun on Iowa tight end Noah Fant. Fant, a graduate of Omaha South High School, told police he was threatened Tuesday night while he was in a northwest Omaha park near his home. Fant says a man he recognized came up to his car window, pointed a gun at him and told him to leave.

Police say they saw Matthew Trimble run into a garage and that he later admitted to confronting Fant. Trimble has been charged with making terroristic threats.

Fant played in six games last season as a freshman for the Hawkeyes, making nine catches for 70 yards and one touchdown.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kenta Maeda fell into a 3-0 hole in the first inning of his first start for the Dodgers in two weeks coming off the disabled list. Then, the Japanese right-hander rallied Los Angeles to a 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night in the series finale.

Maeda (4-2) drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a two-out single in the fourth off Michael Wacha and turned an inning-ending double play in the fifth to help the Dodgers take two of three from the Cardinals.

Maeda allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings, struck out four and walked two. He missed 13 games with a tight left hamstring while on the DL since May 11. Maeda got off to a rocky start in his return, giving up Jedd Gyorko’s two-run double and Yadier Molina’s RBI single in the first. The Dodgers took over from there.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state audit is detailing misspending and potential fraud by the former information technology director of the University of Iowa athletics department. State auditors reported Thursday that Patrick Delin made personal purchases using a university credit card, then “intentionally submitted” false invoices that showed legitimate work items had been purchased.

They say Delin spent thousands traveling to a conference in Colorado that wasn’t related to his work and registering for a Miami conference he didn’t attend. He also gave his wife, a department employee, a university cell phone even though she didn’t need one. The Associated Press first reported this month that Delin resigned in February amid the investigation. A separate internal audit found other weaknesses in the athletic department’s handling of IT equipment.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Matt Hoeg hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning and Iowa beat Maryland 9-8 on Thursday in their Big Ten Tournament baseball opener. Iowa (35-19) was ahead 6-1 before Maryland scored six in a row to take the lead. Solo home runs by Robert Neustrom and Chris Whelan put Iowa up 8-7 in the top of the sixth.

Maryland’s Marty Costes then tied it on a homer, but the Terrapins (34-20) left the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth. Josh Martsching (4-0) got the win for Iowa, which will face Nebraska in the winner’s bracket on Friday.

The Hawkeyes and Terrapins were forced to play Thursday instead of Wednesday because of a rule stating that games can’t start after 10 p.m. EDT.

The Atlantic Boys Tennis Doubles team of Grant Podhajsky and Cooper McDermott get started with play at the state meet on Friday at Byrne’s Park Tennis Complex in Waterloo. The duo qualified for state with a district championship over a squad from Ballard on May 11th. The coaches meeting is set for 8:00am Friday with a seeding meeting immediately to follow. Play will start as soon as the seeding meeting is complete.

This is the second straight season that Podhajsky and McDermott have made it to State and Head Coach Mike McDermott said the guys will need to be at the top of their game to try to advance in the winners bracket this year.

They lost their first round match to a team from Glenwood last year and then were bumped out of the consolation bracket in the first round by a duo from Waverly-Shell Rock. Coach McDermott said they have shown they have what it takes to have success and a big key will be if their serves are strong early on.

The Atlantic Boys Golf Team begins their quest for a state title on Thursday at the Class 3A State Golf Tournament.  The tourney begins on Friday morning at 10:30am at Spring Valley Golf Course in Livermore.  The Trojans earned their way to state by winning their district meet at Atlantic Golf and Country Club on Friday, May 19th.  Atlantic has seen strong play from each of their golfers throughout the season and Head Coach Ed DenBeste said that is definitely a strength of the squad.

Coach DenBeste said it’s tough to compare your team to others in the state but feels like they have played some tough competition throughout the season to prepare them for State.

This is the second year in a row that the Trojans have played in the 3A State Tourney at Spring Valley. Coach DenBeste said most of the guys are fairly familiar with the course but he knows they will need to shoot a lower score this year if they want a shot at a state crown.
