ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Foltynewicz tossed five shutout innings and Freedie Freeman homered to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves swept a three-game series in St. Louis for the first time since May 11-13, 2012
SEATTLE (AP) — James Paxton limited Kansas City to two hits and struck out 11 in eight innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Royals 1-0 on Sunday for their season-best seventh consecutive victory. Paxton, from Ladner, British Columbia, pitched on Canada Day _ and his bobblehead day at Safeco Field.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Flooding in Des Moines was fueled by 3 to 8 inches of rain that fell across the area Saturday night. Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek says, “The speed and how long that rain fell caught us by surprise.” Longtime Iowa sportscaster Larry Cotlar died Saturday when he was swept away in floodwater as he got out of his van on a city street. The 66-year-old Cotlar had worked as the voice of Drake University’s teams since 2005.

The Atlantic softball team came out of a whirlwind week on top of the Hawkeye Ten Conference. The Trojans are Conference Champions for the first time since 1999.
The Trojans began the week with an 8-2 win over Harlan in a game that was moved to an 11:00am start to avoid incoming rain. They followed that with a 4-2 win over Lewis Central on Tuesday night. They then took two from Creston on Thursday night 4-0 and 10-0. That was followed by a busy Friday, traveling to Carroll to beat Kuemper 7-0 in the morning. They then hustled back home to take two games from St. Albert 12-0 and 11-1 to secure the Conference Title.
The Trojans finished the regular season with a 19-1 conference record. The next two teams in the standings were Denison-Schleswig at 17-3 and Lewis Central at 15-3.
Atlantic showed no signs of slowing down by picking up a 16-2 win over CB Thomas Jefferson on Saturday at the Tiger-Knight Tournament in Carroll before the rest of the tourney was rained out. The Trojans finish the regular season with a 27-5 record.
Their opening round playoff game will be on Tuesday night at home against Shenandoah. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN with a pregame at 6:45pm and first pitch set for 7:00pm.
