Another Iowa prep offensive lineman for the class of 2018 committed to Iowa State on Wednesday. Dowling Catholic Guard Zach Ross announced that he will continue his football career as a Cyclone.

Ross is 6’3″, 290 pounds, and is rated as a two-star prospect by most recruiting services. Speculation is that Ross could play Center at Iowa State.

Ross is the second in-state lineman to commit to the Cyclones in as many weeks. Creston star Trevor Downing announced his decision to join the Cyclones last week.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mike Leake allowed four hits over eight innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 on Wednesday night. Jedd Gyorko had three hits and drew a walk in the two-run second inning that gave the Cardinals the lead for good.

Yadier Molina hit a solo home run in the seventh inning to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. Molina’s streak ties Kolten Wong for the Cardinals’ longest this season. Leake (5-2) struck out five and walked none. He maintained a National League-leading 1.91 ERA.

Dodgers starter Rich Hill walked seven and allowed five earned runs in 4-plus innings. He threw two more balls (42) than strikes (40). Hill (1-2) walked four in a two-run, 36-pitch second inning.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Former Nebraska forward Michael Jacobson is transferring to Iowa State. Jacobson, who grew up just down the road from Ames in Waukee, Iowa, is a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward. He made 56 starts in two seasons with the Cornhuskers, averaging 5.3 points and 5.2 rebounds a game.

Jacobson also pulled down 153 offensive rebounds for Nebraska, an area Iowa State struggled with last season. Jacobson will sit out next season per NCAA transfer rules. He’ll have two seasons left to play for the Cyclones.

Iowa junior Jake Adams is the Big Ten player of the year. Adams is a rare combination of average and power. He finished fourth in the conference with a .344 average and led the Big Ten in home runs and RBI. His 24 homers broke Iowa’s single season record. His numbers also show how far the Iowa program has progressed. Four years ago the Hawkeyes had two home runs, as a team.

Iowa coach Rick Heller says Adams is a complete hitter. He says Adams is a professional level hitter already. The Hawkeyes are 34-19 and open the Big Ten Tournament tonight (Wednesday night) in Bloomington, Indiana against fourth seeded Maryland.
