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

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Frankie Montas pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning to win his third straight start since being called up from the minors and Khris Davis homered twice to lead the Oakland Athletics to a 7-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Dustin Fowler also homered and Jonathan Lucroy drove in three runs to help the A’s send the Royals to their sixth straight loss.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Jose Martinez homered twice off Matt Harvey, and Jedd Gyorko singled home the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to a 7-6 victory, their 12th in a row over the Cincinnati Reds. The Cardinals haven’t dominated the Reds so completely since the Great Depression.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bernhard Langer returned for a three-week break to shoot an 8-under 64 and take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Principal Charity Classic. Langer closed the bogey-free round with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th at Wakonda Club. The 60-year-old German star took the brief break in part to attend his son’s high school graduation.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bernhard Langer returned for a three-week break to shoot an 8-under 64 and take the first-round lead Friday in the PGA Tour Champions’ Principal Charity Classic. Langer closed the bogey-free round with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th at Wakonda Club. The 60-year-old German star took the brief break in part to attend his son’s high school graduation.

“I think I have a pretty good idea now how to play the golf course,” Langer said. “When I had to get up and down I got most of them up and down, and just bogey-free is always fun.”

Glen Day and Woody Austin were a stroke back, and defending champion Brandt Jobe was at 66 with Jerry Kelly, Tom Lehman and Doug Garwood. Day opened 66-67 last year at Wakonda, then faded with a 76. “That was real easy. I had about three Coors Lights, we got in the car, drove home. It was no big deal,” said Day about moving past his finish in 2017. “That’s long gone.” On Friday, he had four birdies in a six-hole stretch on his final nine.

Austin, in search of his fourth senior win, shot a 31 on the front nine. Jobe struggled so much during the pro-am Thursday that he spent an extra two hours hitting balls in an effort to correct his swing. “It was worth it. I needed to,” Jobe said.

Mark Calcavecchia, the 2016 winner, withdrew after two holes for what tour spokesman Chris Richards said were family reasons.

Indoor sports complex planned for West Des Moines

News, Sports

June 8th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A $25 million complex proposed for West Des Moines would include indoor space for youth and adult hockey and soccer. West Des Moines City Manager Tom Hadden told The Des Moines Register the number of indoor facilities to meet the demand is lacking. There are three ice rinks and two indoor soccer fields in the metropolitan area.

The Iowa Soccer Association and the Iowa Ice Sports Foundation are working with the city and an unnamed corporate sponsor to pay for and build the complex on 60 acres (24 hectares) of farmland. Hadden says the city is expecting to pay about 60 percent of the project’s $25 million price tag, with the rest coming from the unnamed corporate sponsor and other donors.
