ST. LOUIS (AP) — Reliever Jason Motte and the St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration. The 30-year-old right-hander had a career-high 42 saves in 49 chances last year, when he was 4-5 with a 2.75 ERA. He made $2 million. Motte is 17-13 with a 2.87 ERA and 54 saves since his major league debut in 2008. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. St. Louis announced the deal on Tuesday.
Two Cardinals remain in arbitration: third baseman David Freese and left hander Marc Rzepczynski. If they fail to reach agreements, hearings would be held next month in Phoenix before three-arbitrator panels.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Deshaun Thomas, who missed part of the second half with a cut above his eye, scored 16 points and No. 14 Ohio State built a big lead and then held on to beat Iowa 72-63 on Tuesday night. Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 21 points per game, sat out about 3 minutes while an open cut over his right eye was bandaged. The Buckeyes (14-4, 4-2 Big Ten) led by 24 points with under 13 minutes left but watched as Iowa cut the lead to four with 1:30 remaining.
Aaron White, an Ohio native playing his first college game in his home state, had 13 points for Iowa (13-6, 2-4). Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. both had 12 points and Evan Ravenel added 11 for Ohio State.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There were few bright spots for Iowa last season as the Hawkeyes stumbled to their worst record in more than a decade. The program’s struggles didn’t affect cornerback Micah Hyde’s play. Hyde closed out a stellar career by being named the Big Ten’s defensive back of the year for 2012. He was also the only Iowa player to be named a first-team All-Big Ten pick by the league’s coaches and media members.
Hyde is hoping his next step will be to play in the NFL. He’s working out at a football training center in San Diego in preparation for the NFL combine and, hopefully, the April draft.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Iowa isn’t raising the cost of football tickets next season. The Hawkeyes say tickets and parking fees will remain the same as they were in 2012, when the team dropped six straight games and finished 4-8.
Season tickets for the seven-game home schedule will cost $388 for the general public, $318 for university faculty and staff and $175 for current students. Single-game tickets will go on sale in early July. Iowa opens the 2013 season on August 31 at home against Northern Illinois.
The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has released the 2013 regional basketball pairings. Class 1-A play begins Thursday, February 7, Class 2-A and Class 3-A begin Saturday, February 9, Classes 4-A and 5-A begin Wednesday February 13.
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says in a tough Big Ten race you can expect to see more of the unexpected. The Hawkeyes improved to 2-4 in the league race on Saturday night with a victory over Wisconsin, just days after the Badgers posted a victory at then second ranked Indiana. The Hawkeyes return to action this (Tuesday) evening, with a visit to Ohio State. It will be the first game for Iowa forward Aaron White back in his home state. The sophomore is averaging 15 points and more than six rebounds in the last three games.
McCaffery says to have a chance against the Buckeyes the freshman guard duo of Mike Gessell and Anthony Clemmons will need to handle the pressure of the Ohio State guard court led by junior Aaron Craft. Craft leads the Buckeyes in steals and assists. Ohio State coach Thad Matta says the Buckeyes need to do a better job of protecting the basketball than they did in a 59-56 loss at Michigan State on Saturday.
Ohio State is 13-4 overall. Iowa is 13-5. Pre-game coverage on KJAN begins this afternoon, at 4:30. Tip-off is slated for 5:30.
Baylor remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll for a third straight week after two easy victories. The Lady Bears cruised to wins over Kansas State and West Virginia and have 28 straight Big 12 regular-season victories. Baylor had 35 first-place ballots. The Lady Bears will face No. 24 Iowa State and 20th-ranked Oklahoma this week.
Notre Dame, UConn, Duke and Kentucky rounded out the first five. The Huskies handed the Blue Devils their first loss of the season, 79-49 on Monday night. The Wildcats were followed by Stanford, California, Penn State, Tennessee and Maryland. None of the Top 10 teams changed as they went 18-0, winning by an average of 22.5 points. Michigan State entered the poll at No. 25 while Kansas fell out.
