Beathard leads Iowa past Iowa State 31-17

Sports

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) – C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes, including the tie-breaker to Riley McCarron with 2:14 left, lifting Iowa to a 31-17 victory over Iowa State on Saturday. Jordan Canzeri’s fumble deep in Iowa State territory had thwarted an earlier drive by the Hawkeyes (2-0). But their defense forced the Cyclones (1-1) to punt, Desmond King returned it to midfield and Beathard took the Hawkeyes to the decisive score, finding the 5-foot-9 McCarron in the back of the end zone from 25 yards out.

King’s interception gave the ball right back to Iowa and Canzeri scored on an 8-yard run to finish it off. The victory followed an emotional week for the Hawkeyes, who are mourning the deaths, four days apart, of former football standout Tyler Sash and former basketball star Roy Marble.

Northern Iowa holds off Eastern Washington 38-35

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Michael Schmadeke kicked a 24-yard field goal with 5:37 remaining in the game and then Deiondre’ Hall returned an interception 16 yards for a touchdown to give Northern Iowa a 38-35 win over Eastern Washington in a battle of FCS powers on Saturday.

Hall’s pick of Jordan West came on the first official play after the field goal — and after a holding penalty wiped out West’s 66 yard run to the Northern Iowa 17. The Eagles (0-2) quickly answered with a touchdown but the Panthers got a good kick return from Tyvis Smith and kept the ball for the final 3:20.

Aaron Bailey, who threw for two touchdowns, and Darrian Miller ran for 134 and 112 yards, respectively, for Northern Iowa (1-1). That offset 526 passing yards for Eastern Washington quarterbacks West and Reilly Hennessey, who combined to go 37 of 47.

Eastern’s Nic Sblendorio had career-highs of 10 receptions and 158 yards while All-American Cooper Kupp had 9 for 179 and two touchdowns before sitting out the second half with a hip pointer.

Slumping Cardinals drop third straight to Reds 5-1

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — Skip Schumaker hit a three-run homer, rookie Anthony DeSclafani pitched six strong innings and the Cincinnati Reds won their second game of the day, beating the struggling St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Saturday. The first-place Cardinals have lost the first three games of the four-game series. Their lead over Pittsburgh in the NL Central fell to three games, with the Pirates hosting Milwaukee on Saturday night.

Earlier, Adam Duvall’s two-run homer in the eighth lifted the Reds to a 4-2 win in the completion of a game suspended by rain on Friday. Schumaker, a former Cardinal, hit his first homer since Aug. 13 of last season. St. Louis is 3-8 in September after three straight losses to the last-place Reds, who on Sunday can finish off their first four-game sweep of the Cardinals since 2003.

DeSclafani (9-10) struck out 10 and allowed one earned run. Lance Lynn (11-10) took the loss.

Applications for deer hunting permits in Atlantic available now

Ag/Outdoor, News, Sports

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Atlantic Police Lt. Dave Erickson says anyone interested in bow hunting within the City Limits of Atlantic, for the hunting year 2015-16, can apply now for permit applications through the Atlantic Police Department. The hunt is allowed under the city’s Urban Deer Control Ordinance. Hunters wanting to receive an application should stop by the Atlantic Police Department during their normal business hours of 8-a.m. to 4-p.m., Monday through Friday.

The permit will allow you to harvest anterless deer. Once you have reported the harvest to the A-PD, you will be allowed to harvest a buck. Bow hunters that qualified last year with the Atlantic Police Dept. will not need to do so this year, but Erickson says you still have to pick up the permit application and have it filled-out.

New hunters will have to contact the A-PD and set up a time with Lt. Erickson, in order to qualify. Land owners who would like to allow a bow hunter to hunt on their land, should call the Police Dept. at 712-243-3512 during normal business hours, and sign-up.

Iowa State hosts Iowa

Sports

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Iowa State hosts Iowa this afternoon, in the 63rd meeting in the series. The Cyclones have won three of the last four and coach Paul Rhoads says of all the key matchups it starts up front. In terms of individual matchups one of the most interesting will be Cyclone sophomore tackle Jake Campos against Iowa senior defensive end Drew Ott.

ISU has the home field advantage but the road team has won the last three games.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the Cyclones have an experienced offense and an improved defense that has several new faces. Ferentz says the Hawkeyes must find a way to defend the Iowa State receivers.

It is also the first road test of the season for the Hawkeyes which Ferentz says is always a challenge. Iowa leads the all time series 40-22. Pre-game coverage on KJAN begins at 1:30-p.m., with the kickoff slated for 3:30-p.m.

Chiefs’ Dontari Poe probable for season opener at Houston

Sports

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dontari Poe was listed as probable for the Chiefs’ opener Sunday in Houston, less than two months after undergoing surgery on a disc in his back. Poe hurt his back in June and received two rounds of epidurals that did little to alleviate the pain. He had surgery on July 15 and missed all of training camp and the preseason.

He returned to a light workout on Sunday, and had his first full-pad practice Wednesday. There were no major surprises on the final injury report Friday. The only players listed as questionable were right tackle Eric Fisher, who’s expected to play after practicing all week, and right guard Jeff Allen, who has been dealing with a knee injury.

 

Cardinals at Reds game suspended in top of 8th tied 2-2

Sports

September 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — Heavy rain forced the St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds game to be suspended in the top of the eighth inning tied 2-2 on Friday night. It’ll be resumed at 12:30 p.m. today (Saturday), with the regularly scheduled game to follow.

The teams waited out the 17th rain delay at Great American Ball Park for an hour and seven minutes before it was suspended. It was Cincinnati’s first suspended game this season — three have been rained out.

Reds first baseman Joey Votto struck out and walked three times. He received a two-game suspension on Friday for an altercation with umpire Bill Welke on Wednesday, but will keep playing while his appeal is heard. Rain fell intermittently during the game, then intensified in the eighth inning with the Cardinals batting, prompting the umpires to call for the tarp.
