Aguilar’s 1st HR, in 100th AB, lifts Brewers over Cards 5-4

Sports

May 5th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jesus Aguilar’s first major league home run broke a seventh-inning tie, leading the Milwaukee Brewers over the banged-up St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Thursday night.

Cardinals right fielder Stephen Piscotty left the game after the second inning with a strained right hamstring and center fielder Dexter Fowler came out following the third with a strained right shoulder. Randal Grichuk moved from left to center and Aledmys Diaz shifted from shortstop to left in the first outfield appearance of his professional career.

Piscotty pulled up with a strained right hamstring after crossing first base on his grounder to third base that ended the second. Fowler was hurt in an unsuccessful attempt for a diving catch on Hernan Perez’s third-inning drive.

University of Iowa discrimination case goes to jury

Sports

May 3rd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Jury deliberations have begun to decide a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former top athletics administrator against the University of Iowa.

Attorneys gave closing statements Wednesday in the lawsuit filed by Jane Meyer, a Hawkeyes administrator for over a decade. She filed the suit after being transferred to another department after the firing of Iowa field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum, her partner. Meyer’s job was eliminated in 2016.

Meyer alleges she suffered workplace discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a coach, that the school retaliated against her and that she was paid less than a male counterpart for similar work.

The eight-person jury, made up of five women and three men, heard 13 days of testimony that included football coach Kirk Ferentz and wrestling coach Tom Brands.
