Iowa State basketball coach Fred Hoiberg has heart surgery

Sports

April 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State says coach Fred Hoiberg has undergone open-heart surgery to replace aortic valve. Hoiberg had surgery Friday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Doctor Rakesh Suri says the operation was a success, adding that “Hoiberg is in recovery and doing very well himself.”

Hoiberg retired from the NBA following the 2004-05 season because of heart issues. He just completed his fifth season at Iowa State, leading the Cyclones to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles.

Hoiberg is expected to need about 4-6 weeks to recover.

Royals Recall Fuentes from Omaha, Option Gore to NW Arkansas

Sports

April 17th, 2015 by Jim Field

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have recalled outfielder Reymond Fuentes from Triple-A Omaha and optioned outfielder Terrance Gore to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Kansas City announced the moves before opening a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics on Friday night.

The 24-year-old Fuentes was acquired from San Diego last November for minor league pitcher Kyle Bartsch. He was 8 for 18 with a double in his first six games in Omaha.

The Royals were seeking a little more offensive production after losing outfielder Alex Rios to a broken finger. Gore was called up to replace him, but he is known primarily for his speed and not his production. He didn’t appear in a game while with the Royals.

Lackey, Carpenter spark St. Louis’ 4-0 win over Milwaukee

Sports

April 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — John Lackey threw seven scoreless innings and Matt Carpenter doubled twice, helping the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. Lackey (1-0) gave up five hits, struck out eight and walked one.

Lackey, who allowed a pair of two-run homers in six innings in his most recent start, faced the Brewers for just the fourth time in his career. St. Louis took a 2-0 lead on two doubles and two singles in the sixth inning.

 

Iowa Cubs set for home opener

Sports

April 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Cubs open their home season on Friday night when they host the Oklahoma City Dodgers. I Cubs general manager Sam Bernabe says there is a different kind of buzz around the team as the home schedule approaches and it has to do with the number of top prospects on the team.

Despite being one of the smallest markets in the Pacific Coast League the I Cubs finished fifth in the league in attendance last season and Bernabe believes consistency plays a big part.

Principal Park remains a popular destination for fans even though it is no longer considered new. The most noticeable upgrade for this season is a brand new video board.

Tonight’s game is slated to start at 8:05 in Des Moines. The Iowa Cubs closed out an season opening road trip Thursday night with part of a double header in New Orleans. Iowa won the 1st game 10-7. The second game was postponed due to rain.

Nebraska’s Terran Petteway Announces he’ll Enter NBA Draft

Sports

April 16th, 2015 by Jim Field

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Terran Petteway is skipping his senior season at Nebraska and declaring for the NBA draft.

Petteway was the leading scorer in the Big Ten as a sophomore and was fourth this past season. The guard’s 18.1-point career scoring average ranks second in program history.

Petteway began his college career at Texas Tech. He made his announcement Thursday from Galveston, Texas, where he was with his family following the death of his mother last week.

Petteway thanked fans for their support and said it was a “bittersweet” decision because Lincoln has become a second home to him. Coach Tim Miles said he had hoped Petteway would return next season but he supports the decision.

Nebraska’s Walter Pitchford also has declared for the draft.
