The Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Sunday afternoon to earn a split of the four-game weekend series. The Brewers scored three runs in the first inning and preserved the lead the rest of the way.

Andrew McCutchen had 2 hits, 1 RBI, and a run scored to lead the brew crew. Tyrone Taylor added 2 hits and 2 RBI. The Brewers improved to 5-5 on the season.

Nolan Arenado led the Cardinals with 2 hits, 1 run scored, and a walk. The Cardinals are now 5-3 on the year.

The Cardinals are off on Monday and will be traveling to Miami to face the Marlins for a four-game set starting on Tuesday. We’ll have that Tuesday game on KJAN with pregame at 4:45 p.m.

The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team scored eight runs in bottom of the seventh in a 9-3 win over Minnesota, Sophomore right fielder Will Mulfur’s two run double gave the Hawks a 5-3 lead.

The Hawkeyes completed the three game sweep of the Gophers to move to 6-3 in the Big Ten heading into next weekends series at league leading Rutgers.

Iowa is 20-12 overall.

Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell feels his team had a productive spring. The Cyclones lost several key players from last year’s team that opened in the top ten before stumbling to a 7-6 record. The close drills with an open practice at Gilbert High School.

The expectations won’t be as high for a team that is a mix of veterans and newcomers.

That includes at quarterback where Hunter Dekkers takes over for four year starter Brock Purdy. Campbell says they tried to put the former West Sioux star in some challenging spots.

Campbell says the key for Dekkers will be handling the adversity that comes with playing quarterback.

The Cyclones open next season on September third at home against Southeast Missouri.

VCU transfer forward Hason Ward committed to Iowa State on Saturday night. Ward is a 6-9, 215 pound forward that averaged 6.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Rams last season.

Ward will add some depth to the Iowa State frontcourt that lost George Conditt following last season. He brings some defensive credential with him as a former member of the A-10 All-Defense Team.

Ward will have two seasons of eligibility left in Ames.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Saturday night to improve to 5-2 on the season.

Tyler O’Neill and Nolan Arenado each had one hit, one run scored, and one walk. Corey Dickerson and Paul DeJong had one RBI each.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Back-to-back RBI singles from Izaya Fullard and Ben Tallman in the fifth inning propelled the University of Iowa baseball team to a 2-1 come-from-behind series-clinching victory over Minnesota on Saturday afternoon at Duane Banks Field.

The win moves the Hawkeyes’ record to 19-12 overall and 5-3 in Big Ten play heading into Sunday’s series finale.

Sophomore Michael Seegers started the fifth with a one-out single to right field.  After Seegers stole second, Fullard bounced a two-out single up the middle and the ball caromed off Brady Counsell’s glove into shallow left field.  Seegers scored on the play and Fullard moved to second on the throw.

The heady base running paid off as Tallman followed with a hit to nearly the same spot, singling home Fullard to give the Hawkeyes a 2-1 lead.

“There was a big two-out hit by Izaya to get us back to even and I knew I needed to follow up with that,” said Tallman. “I struck out on two off-speed pitches earlier in the game, so I got up in the count and was looking for a fastball I could handle.  That was my approach and I got it done.”

UP NEXT

The Hawkeyes will go for the weekend sweep Sunday, hosting the Gophers in the series finale at 1:05 p.m. (CT).

Iowa State junior guard Aubrey Joens announced on Friday that she will enter the transfer portal. Joens started 17 games over the past two seasons and averaged 5.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest.

Joens did see some of her minutes dwindle toward the end of the season and it appears she is seeking a larger role at another school.

The announcement came as a bit of a surprise because her older sister Ashley recently announced that she is returning to Iowa State next season to take advantage of her extra year of eligibility. Her younger sister Kelsey is also committed to play at Iowa State in the 2023-24 season.

The Cardinals evened up their weekend series with the Brewers at a game each with a 10-1 win on Friday night. The Cardinals jumped out to a 6-0 lead after two innings of play and dominated the rest of the way.

After mustering only 5 hits in the series opener on Thursday, the Cardinals erupted for 14 hits on Friday. Tyler O’Neill had three hits and scored twice. Nolan Arenado had 2 hits, 3 RBI, and 2 runs scored. Andrew Knizner also had three hits with 2 RBI. Miles Mikolas got the win on the hill going 6 2/3 innings with 7 strikeouts and 3 hits allowed.

The Cardinals improved to 4-2 overall and the Brewers fell to 4-4. The two teams will collide again Saturday night. We’ll have it on KJAN with pregame at 5:15 p.m.
