Atlantic is halfway to defending their Class 3-A state girls golf championship.  Atlantic shot a team score of 356 on Monday and lead second place Beckman Catholic, who shot 363.  It is a fairly tight race, as the rest of the field includes Clarion-Goldfield-Dows at 368, New Hampton at 369, MOC-Floyd Valley and Monticello both at 375 and Nevade and Williamsburg each with 385.  Brooke Klostermann of Beckman Catholic leads the tourney with a first day score of 75.  That puts her two strokes ahead of Atlantic’s Brooke Newell who shot 77.  Also for Atlantic, Erin Olsen shot 86, Sarah Fixmer 94, McKenna Den Beste shot 99 and Mary Hayes carded a 117.  Kuemper Catholic’s Courtney Snyder is tied for 10th after posting an 85.

In Class 4-A, Madison Hance of Creston is tied for 11th place after shooting a 90, and Sara Sweeney of Carroll carded a 92.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Fiers and four relievers combined on an eight-hitter and Carlos Gomez had a first-inning RBI single in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Fiers (2-5) allowed four hits in six innings, one shy of his season high, and won for the first time in six starts since May 2 at Chicago.

Johnathan Broxton, Neal Cotts, James Jeffress and Francisco Rodriguez combined to allow four hits without walking a batter in Milwaukee’s fourth shutout of the season. Rodriguez finished for his ninth save. The win comes a day after the Brewers beat Arizona in 17 innings.

Jaime Garcia (1-2) worked seven sterling innings and Kolten Wong and Mark Reynolds had two singles apiece for the Cardinals, shut out for the fifth time but first time at home where they’re among the best in the league at 20-7.

CHICAGO (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the Chicago Bulls plan to introduce Fred Hoiberg as their new coach today (Tuesday). The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday night on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been finalized. Hoiberg had long been rumored as the replacement for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last week after five seasons in Chicago.

The Bulls announced in a release that they would make a major announcement today (Tuesday). Hoiberg went 115-56 with the Cyclones, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles. He had open-heart surgery in April.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg boarded a flight to Chicago on Monday to meet with the Bulls about their open coaching vacancy. Hoiberg told reporters at the airport in Ames, Iowa, that he has meetings set for Monday night but no deal with the Bulls has been finalized. Hoiberg had long been rumored as the replacement for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last week after five seasons in Chicago.

Hoiberg says the speculation that he was leaving the Cyclones after five seasons has been “extremely tough,” adding that he didn’t want to comment on anything because there wasn’t anything firm to talk about. Hoiberg is 115-56 with the Cyclones, including four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles.

CHICAGO (AP) – More than 70 years after he hoped to make his major league debut, a World War II veteran has fulfilled his goal of pitching at Wrigley Field. Tony Gianunzio walked to the mound Sunday and threw out the first ball before the Cubs hosted the Kansas City Royals. Wearing a Cubs cap, the 92-year-old Gianunzio threw from just in front of the rubber. His pitch reached the plate on a couple of bounces.

Gianunzio was a teenage pitching prospect and being looked at by the Cubs when he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. He didn’t return to baseball after the war. Gianunzio lives in the area of Kalamazoo, Michigan. He taught English and writing in high school for nearly 40 years. His ceremonial pitch, by the way, was better than the one thrown by actor Joe Mantegna before the game. His toss bounced several times and was way wide of the plate.
