Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT

SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (AP) — A Minnesota-based company says it’s considering moving production of some motorcycles out of the country because of European tariffs, just days after Harley-Davidson announced a similar move. A spokeswoman for Polaris Industries acknowledged Friday the company could move some production of its Indian brand of motorcycles from northwest Iowa to Poland.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Iowa have charged a Brazilian man accused of causing a flight from Calgary, Canada, to Chicago to be diverted to Cedar Rapids. Prosecutors said Friday that 33-year-old Guilherme Alves De Melo was charged Tuesday with one count of intimidating a flight crew member. A complaint says that on June 23, Alves became disruptive and “lost it” about an hour before the plane was scheduled to land, causing the plane to land at the eastern Iowa airport.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A national abortion-rights organization says the Iowa Supreme Court acted “absolutely appropriately” in striking down a 72-hour waiting period for women seeking abortions. Ilyse Hogue is president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. She says Friday’s ruling upholds precedent, the rights of Iowa women and their “dignity and respect.” She also says Sen. Charles Grassley should consider those issues when advancing any U.S. Supreme Court nominees. The Iowa senator leads the Senate Judiciary Committee.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Despite acknowledging a county prosecutor’s behavior was “egregious,” the Iowa Supreme Court ordered the reinstatement of the attorney, saying his actions didn’t reach the threshold to remove an elected official. The court ruled Friday that Abraham Watkins was wrongly removed as Van Buren County attorney in 2017 following allegations of sexual harassment. He was accused of commenting on an employee’s breasts, appearing in underwear in his home office and displaying nude photos of his wife.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Julio Teheran pitched six scoreless innings and Johan Camargo had a two-run double among his three hits to help the Atlanta Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1. Teheran allowed two hits, struck out four and walked two. He walked the first two batters of the game and then retired 15 of the next 16. Dan Winkler picked up his first major league save by retiring the only two batters he faced as Atlanta won for only the fourth time in 13 games in St. Louis since the start of the 2016 season.

SEATTLE (AP) — Marco Gonzales pitched a six-hitter for his first career complete game, Mitch Haniger and Mike Zunino homered, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1. Gonzales struck out seven and didn’t issue a walk while throwing just 96 pitches.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa City police have charged Hawkeyes wrestler Sam Stoll with making a false report to police after they say he lied to them after being shot in the knee. Authorities say Stoll first told them he shot himself while he was in his garage on June 19 but admitted it happened while playing a prank on a friend. Stoll has had surgery and been released from a hospital. He has one more season of eligibility.

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Brett Moffitt won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway after leader John Hunter Nemechek ran out of gas on the final lap. Moffitt won for the third time this season and fourth time overall.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers was removed from the game at St. Louis after flying out to end the sixth inning. Flowers, who came in hitting .248, appeared to hurt his right knee on a swing earlier in the at-bat. He walked off the field on his own, but with a noticeable limp.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Freshman Kevin Abel pitched a two-hit shutout while earning a record fourth win in the College World Series, and Oregon State beat Arkansas 5-0 for the national championship. Abel was nothing short of spectacular against an Arkansas team that surely was still reeling from the foul ball fiasco in the ninth inning Wednesday that cost it the title and gave new life to the Beavers. Adley Rutschman is named Most Outstanding Player after setting record with 17 hits in CWS.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have placed reliever Justin Grimm on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury, filling the right-hander’s spot in the bullpen by recalling Jason Adam from Triple-A Omaha. The move made retroactive to June 24 was announced before the Royals’ game at the Milwaukee Brewers.

Oregon St. wins 5-3 to force Game 3; Hogs crying over foul

Sports

June 28th, 2018 by admin

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Oregon State hadn’t been able to catch a break in the College World Series finals. And then the ninth inning happened Wednesday night.

Three Arkansas fielders watched a foul ball drop between them with two outs. If one of them catches the ball, the Razorbacks would have locked up the national championship.

No one did.

Cadyn Grenier singled in the tying run, and Trevor Larnach followed with a two-run homer into the right-field bullpen to give the Beavers the lead in a 5-3 win that forced a third and deciding third game on Thursday night.

“As soon as you see the ball drop, you know you have another life,” Grenier said. “I needed to refocus and make the most of that extra life we got. That’s a gift.”

Arkansas (48-20) turned back the Beavers (54-12-1) when they threatened in the sixth and eighth innings, and they were in position to do the same in the ninth if not for the bungled foul ball.

Zach Clayton, who pinch ran for Zak Taylor after a walk leading off the ninth, was on third when Grenier came up to bat with the entire stadium on its feet.

On a 1-1 pitch from Matt Cronin (2-2), Grenier popped the ball high behind first base and toward the stands. There was plenty of room to make the catch, and second baseman Carson Shaddy, first baseman Jared Gates and right fielder Eric Cole converged. No one took charge and the ball hit the ground.

“I was running and didn’t hear anybody call it, and I overran it,” Shaddy said.

While the ball was in the air, Grenier said, he hoped it would flare off into the stands.

“I knew I hit it decently deep so it wasn’t going to be a routine pop foul catch,” he said. “It wasn’t. It landed in a spot between three guys, and it worked to our advantage.”

Cronin took a moment to compose himself, wiping his brow and adjusting his hat. His next pitch was way high and, after a foul ball, Grenier sent a drive into left field to score Clayton. Grenier pumped his fist as he ran to first and punched the air twice more when he rounded the base.

Larnach’s 19th homer of the season ramped up the celebration in the Beavers’ dugout. Kevin Abel (7-1), who pitched the eighth, gave way to closer Jake Mulholland in the ninth. The game ended when Mulholland fielded Casey Martin’s comebacker and threw to second to start a double play.

“You’ve got to move on,” said Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn, whose team had been 44-0 when leading after eight innings. “You can’t take it back. It’s over. Get your head up and start getting your mind right because it’s going to be tomorrow before you know it and we need to come out here and give ourselves a chance.”

The Beavers have been the hottest hitting team throughout the CWS but struggled to convert chances in the finals until they caught their huge break in the ninth inning.

They had runners on first and third with none out in the sixth when Kyle Nobach popped up a bunt that pitcher Kole Ramage caught. Ramage then threw back to third to double off Grenier, and a groundout ended the inning.

Adley Rutschman, who homered in the fourth, singled leading off the Oregon State eighth and was on third after a passed ball. Cronin came on, struck out Tyler Malone and got pinch hitter Steven Kwan to fly out.

“We were looking for something good to happen, and needed something good to happen” OSU coach Pat Casey said. “Our guys never gave in. So I think that that’s what created that opportunity for us to have something good happen.”

PITCHING MATCHUP

Arkansas will send Isaiah Campbell to the mound for Game 3. Casey did not name his starter. The Oregon State said his pitching staff is spent and that whoever starts probably won’t go more than five innings.

Campbell (5-6) was outstanding against Florida on Friday, matching his career high with eight strikeouts.
