The Kuemper Catholic Knights jumped up early and made enough plays late to secure a 6-5 win over Atlantic in the Class 3A Region 7 Quarterfinals on Wednesday night. The Knights racked up 4 runs in the opening frame to grab the lead. Atlantic would fall behind 5-1 before squaring the game up in the 4th. Kuemper got a run across in the 5th that ended up being enough for the win.
Kuemper got an RBI single from Alli Mertz to open the scoring in the first. Kenzie Schon would follow with a 2-run homer to put the Knights up 3-0 through 4 batters. Anna Wanninger would score later in the frame on a passed ball. Atlantic got one run in the 1st with an RBI single from Oliva Engler but later had a runner picked off and left one aboard. Engler had a stellar night at the plate as she went 4-4 with 3RBI. She had a 2 RBI Single in the big 4th inning for Atlantic. Alyssa Derby had a 2 RBI single in that 4th inning spurt as well to tie the game.
Kuemper’s winning run in the 5th came on a misplayed bloop off the bat of Isabel Schwabe. Kyndall Hilgenberg was on base after leading off the inning with a single and Schon was walked. Schwabe popped up what would of been the final out of the inning but Caroline Pellett’s attempt to back up and track it down was unsuccessful as the ball bounced off the tip of her glove. That allowed Hilgenberg to score and give the Knights the 6-5 lead.
Atlantic then left the tying run standing on third in both the 6th and 7th innings. Engler doubled with one out in the 6th and courtesy runner Ava Rush was able to get to third on a ground-out by Madison Botos. Alyssa Derby then hit a nice shot to deep right-center but Cassidy Christensen made a nice running snag to end the inning. In the 7th Atlantic got a lead off hit from Kennedy Goergen. She was moved over to 2nd on a sac bunt by Reagan Pellett. Caroline Pellett then pushed one through on a shallow hit near 2nd base and they had to put the brakes on Goergen at 3rd. McKenzie Waters then hit one at the shortstop Mertz and she chose to go home to get Goergen out before scoring the tying run. Atlantic still had the tying run at third but Baylee Newell swung at the first pitch she saw and drove it into foul territory in left. Isabel Schwabe made a terrific running back-handed snag to secure the final out and send the Knights into a Regional Semifinal on Friday against Southeast Valley. The Jaguars defeated Carroll 8-3 to advance to that Friday contest.
Carly Ventiecher went 3 1/3 Innings for Kuemper Catholic, exiting with the Knights up 5-3. Freshman Kamryn Venteicher went the rest of the way, responsible for just one earned run, allowing 3 hits with 1 strikeout and 1 walk. Olivia Engler went the distance for Atlantic allowing 6 hits with 5 strikeouts, 3 walks, and 1 hit-batter.
Atlantic ends their season with a record of 27-9. Kuemper Catholic improved to 16-18 and will play Southeast Valley in the Regional Semis on Friday.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports 31-year old Clayton Nathaniel Parsons, of Hamburg, was arrested Tuesday on felony weapon, drug and other charges. His arrest followed an investigation into an incident that occurred Sunday, in Sidney.
Deputies with the Fremont County K9 Unit conducted an investigation into a disturbance that took place near the Casey’s General Store in Sidney on Sunday, after they received a report that a male had displayed a handgun during an argument.
Clayton Parsons
Their investigation led authorities to Parsons, who was arrested in the 3400 block of 310th Street, in rural Hamburg. Parsons was arrested for two aggravated misdemeanor counts of Harassment in the 1st Degree, felony Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon, and a felony charge of Conspiracy to Possess or Distribute Methamphetamine. He was being held at the Fremont County Jail on $24,000 bond.
Parsons was previously released from jail on 07/03/2019 after posting bond for a separate arrest that occurred on 06/05/2019 for Intimidation with a Dangerous Weapon, Harassment 1st and False Imprisonment at the time this incident occurred.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Department of Human Services says it has agreed to pay an additional $386 million to two insurance companies that will provide Medicaid services for the 2020 fiscal year.
The 8.6% increase announced Wednesday will include $115 million in additional state funding, with the federal government paying for the remaining portion.
The $5 billion Medicaid program serves about 600,000 poor and disabled people.
DHS says the rates include changes made by the Iowa Legislature, which account for about 2 percent of the increase.
Last year the agency approved a $344 million increase over the previous year.
The state privatized the Medicaid program in 2016 with then-Gov. Terry Branstad promising cost savings and improved care. Democrats say neither goal has been accomplished amid turmoil that included two insurers dropping out and last month’s sudden resignation of DHS Director Jerry Foxhoven.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A Des Moines man is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a disabled relative.
Polk County court records say 29-year-old Steven Baker is charged with theft and dependent adult abuse. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him. Baker’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 19.
The Des Moines Register reports that police say Baker moved into his bank account nearly $48,000 of his relative’s money, using $12,500 for payment on a car and spending more of the money on himself.
Authorities say the money had come from the Social Security Administration, and Baker told authorities that he’d gotten Social Security permission to buy the car because it would be used to transport his relative.
