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

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyler O’Neill capped another St. Louis rally by driving in Kolten Wong for the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the Cardinals surged past the Pirates 5-4. St. Louis took advantage of another sloppy performance by Pittsburgh’s bullpen. Harrison Bader hit a two-run home run off Keone Kela in the eighth to pull the Cardinals even. Wong led off the 10th with a triple against Nick Burdi and scored when O’Neill followed two batters later with a sharp single to right.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Cardinals have postponed their home openers by a day to Friday because rain is forecast. Chicago’s three-game series against Seattle and the Cardinals’ three-game series against San Diego had been scheduled to start Thursday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eddie Rosario hit a go-ahead single in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins again rallied late against Kansas City, beating the Royals 7-6. After Max Kepler hit a tying, two-run single in the Twins eighth, Nelson Cruz drew a leadoff walk in the ninth from Wily Peralta. Pinch-runner Byron Buxton stole second and scored when Rosario followed with a single. Whit Merrifield extended his hitting streak to 25 games, tied with George Brett and Mike Sweeney for third longest by a Royals player.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior Marial Shayok has been named an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American.

Shayok, who averaged a team-high 18.7 points, is the only player nationally to average at least 18 points while shooting at least 49 percent from the field, 38 percent behind the arc and 87 percent at the free-throw line. He also pulled down 4.9 rebounds per game.

Shayok scored at least 20 points in 16 games and was in double figures in 32 of the 34 games he played. He earned All-Big 12 First Team accolades and is a finalist for the Julius Erving Award, giving annually to the nation’s top small forward. He was the Big 12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player after averaging 18 points per game in leading the Cyclones to their fourth title in the last six seasons.

Shayok is the third Cyclone under head coach Steve Prohm to earn All-America honors.

The Ottawa, Ontario native will participate in the Portsmouth Invitational April 17-20 along with fellow Cyclone senior Nick Weiler-Babb.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa senior Megan Gustafson has been named a first team All-American by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), the organization announced Tuesday.

Gustafson is one of five first team selections that will contend for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, given to the nation’s best player. The announcement will be made Friday at the Women’s Final Four in Tampa.

Gustafson is the fourth Hawkeye in program history to earn USBWA All-America honors. She joins Michele Edwards (1988), Necole Tunsil (1994), and Samantha Logic (2015). Gustafson was a second team selection last season.

The Port Wing, Wisconsin, native ended her career with 2,804 points and 1,460 rebounds. On Monday, Gustafson became just the fourth NCAA women’s basketball student-athlete and the first ever post player to score 1,000 or more points in a single season.

Gustafson led the nation in points per game (27.8), field goal percentage (69.6), total points (1,001), field goals made (412), and double-doubles (33) this season. She also ranked second nationally in defensive rebounds per game (11), and third in rebounds per game (13.4) and total rebounds (481).

Iowa State women’s basketball senior Bridget Carleton was named a USBWA Third-Team All-American the U.S. Basketball Writers Association announced Tuesday.

A native of Chatham, Ontario, Carleton put together one of the finest seasons and careers in the history of Iowa State women’s hoops. Carleton led the Big 12 in scoring at 21.7, breaking ISU’s season point record with 760.

She ended her career just eight points shy of breaking ISU’s all-time scoring mark with 2,142 points. Carleton also ranks in the top-five in Iowa State’s record book in career field goals (3^rd, 713), steals (3^rd, 211), blocked shots (3^rd, 124) and 3-pointers (5^th, 255).

Carleton is the second Cyclone to earn USBWA All-America honors, joining Angie Welle (2001).
