State Track Day 2 delayed by rainfall

Sports

May 17th, 2019 by admin

The Friday session of the 2019 State Track and Field Championships has been delayed due to the rainy weather in Des Moines. The plan currently is to have the gates open at 9:30am with events now starting at 10:00am.

The schedule for the day will obviously just shift back with the delay. The forecast calls for more rain chances possible in the day so check back for further updates.

The girls shuttle hurdle prelims on Thursday night were pushed back to the Saturday schedule as a timed final due to rain setting in. The last heat of the Boys 4A 400M was scheduled to be squeezed in Friday as well.

Sports

May 17th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — A. J. Lee’s two run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Maryland to an 8-6 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes to open a three game series. Game two of the series is tonight (Friday night). The Hawkeyes need a win or a loss by Northwestern in its series against Minnesota to clinch a spot in the Big Ten Tournament.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves got another big night from rookie Austin Riley and five-plus scoreless innings from starting pitcher Julio Teheran to win for the fifth time in six games with a 10-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Nick Markakis and Freddie Freeman each added a pair of RBIs. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright gave up five runs, five hits and five walks with two strikeouts in four innings.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Rougned Odor homered twice, Willie Calhoun went deep for the second straight day, and the Texas Rangers routed the Kansas City Royals 16-1 in the rubber game of their three-game series. Calhoun also had a two-run single and finished with four hits for the Rangers. Lance Lynn earned the win and Homer Bailey took the loss for Kansas City.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carli Lloyd scored twice and Alyssa Naeher got the shutout, helping the U.S. women’s national team beat New Zealand 5-0 in a World Cup series send-off match. Tobin Heath, Rose Lavelle and Samantha Mewis also scored for the United States.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha, Nebraska, has pledged $750,000 in taxpayer money to cover some of USA Swimming’s more than $3 million in costs to host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials. The Omaha World-Herald says the City Council approved a plan Tuesday to make the second of three annual $250,000 payments to the Omaha Sports Commission for USA Swimming. City officials say the money was needed to ensure the event will still be held in Omaha after one of the organization’s largest corporate sponsors scaled back support.

Riley, Teheran pace Braves’ attack in win over Cardinals

Sports

May 16th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley went 3 for 4 and drove in a run, Julio Teheran pitched five-plus scoreless innings, and the Atlanta Braves won for the fifth time in six games with a 10-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. Riley, who homered in his second major league at-bat Wednesday, doubled off the top of the wall in the second inning and singled in a run in the third. He scored twice. Teheran (3-4) allowed two hits — a bloop single by Yadier Molina to begin the fifth and a single by Paul Goldschmidt to begin the sixth — and drove in two runs with a sacrifice bunt in the second and a single in the third. Teheran, who has a 0.53 ERA over his last three starts, walked four and struck out four.

Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (3-4) gave up five runs, five hits and five walks with two strikeouts in four innings. RHP Carlos Martinez will rejoin the Cardinals’ bullpen this weekend at Texas after missing 44 games a right shoulder cuff strain. “You’re talking about a legitimate weapon, a two-time All-Star who proved he could do the job out of the bullpen last year,” St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said. “You always want to be able to shorten games.”
UP NEXT
Cardinals: RHP Miles Mikolas (4-3, 3.83 ERA) will make his 10th start when St. Louis begins a three-game series at Texas. In four career starts in the Rangers’ ballpark, the former Texas hurler is 0-4 with a 13.73 ERA.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms on a deal with defensive back Amani Hooker, their fourth-round draft selection. Hooker was the No. 116 draft pick overall out of Iowa. He was the Big 10 Defensive Back of the Year last season, and he played 36 games with six interceptions, 3 ½ tackles for loss and a sack over three years with the Hawkeyes. His deal makes him the third of the Titans’ draft picks to agree to terms, leaving the team’s top three draft picks still unsigned.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two people with direct knowledge of the deal say the New York Jets have agreed to trade linebacker Darron Lee to the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth-round draft pick. The deal is pending a physical, according to the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the move. It also comes on the same day the team fired general manager Mike Maccagnan and installed coach Adam Gase as the acting GM.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns running back Kareem Hunt knows only his actions will help him outrun a violent past. Hunt spoke for the first time since Cleveland signed him in February after he was released by the Kansas City Chiefs late last season when video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman during an argument. Hunt says he’s changed and hopes he can earn back the trust of teammates and fans. He says he’s grateful to get a second chance with the Browns, his hometown team.

ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley made quite a splash in his big league debut, homering off Michael Wacha to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Mike Soroka turned in another strong start with three-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, but this night belonged to the 22-year-old Riley. He was called up from Triple-A before the game and homered in the second at-bat of what the Braves hope will be a long career.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ronald Guzman and Willie Calhoun each hit a two-run homer, and the Texas Rangers cruised to a 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Shin-Soo Choo added a solo shot in the ninth inning and Nomar Mazara matched a career high with four hits as the Rangers snapped a five-game skid.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — For a minor-league team that plays its home games in flood-ravaged Iowa on the swollen banks of the Mississippi River, the season so far has presented some unusual challenges. The Quad Cities River Bandits have been forced to lug their equipment everywhere they go because they don’t yet have lockers. Worse than that, the players sometimes don’t even know where they’ll be playing the next day. The River Bandits will play 40 of their first 43 games away from their home in Davenport.
