DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republicans have picked a state agriculture secretary nominee, but it didn’t come easy. The Des Moines Register reports that incumbent Mike Naig was selected Saturday at the Iowa GOP state convention after four rounds of voting. After each round, the bottom candidate was dropped from the ballot. In the last round, Naig topped Corning farmer Ray Gaesser. Naig faces Democrat Tim Gannon in the November general election.

Officials say a boater pulled the girl to safety and was able to resuscitate her.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Addison Russell and Jason Heyward homered and Ian Happ’s double broke a 3-all tie as the Chicago Cubs rallied to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3. Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings, snapping a career-high three game losing streak. Brandon Morrow got the last three outs for his 16th save in 17 chances. Chicago trailed 2-0 and then 3-2 before Kyle Schwarber’s RBI single in the fifth tied the score and Happ’s double in the seventh put the Cubs ahead.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Houston Astros won their 10th straight game, with Dallas Keuchel getting three-run homers from Max Stassi and Alex Bregman to rout the Kansas City Royals 10-2. Jose Altuve hit a two-run double in the first inning to send the World Series champions on their way. The Astros had an 11-game win streak last season that ended in Kansas City. The Royals have lost five in a row and are just 2-12 since the calendar flipped to June.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals outfielder Jorge Soler will miss at least six weeks after breaking a bone in his left foot while leaving the batter’s box in Kansas City’s series opener against Houston. Soler had provided some much-needed punch to a struggling Kansas City offense. He’s third on the team with a .265 average, nine homers and 28 RBIs.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — North Carolina knocked Oregon State ace Luke Heimlich out of the game during a five-run third inning and went on to beat the Beavers 8-6 in the opening game of the College World Series. The Tar Heels used six pitchers in a four-and-a-half-hour slog in 95-degree heat. They turned back threats from one of the nation’s most potent offenses in the sixth and seventh innings.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Luke Alexander’s drive to right field got past Christian Jones in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing Hunter Stovall to score from second base and give Mississippi State a 1-0 win over Washington in the College World Series. It was the Bulldogs’ third walk-off win, and fourth on their last at-bat, in their last eight NCAA Tournament games.
NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Brett Moffitt won the NASCAR Truck Series race Saturday night at Iowa Speedway, his hometown track. The 25-year-old Moffitt is from nearby Grimes.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It took nearly 4 1/2 hours in 95-degree heat to play the opening game of the College World Series. Time flew for North Carolina coach Mike Fox. He was having fun. The Tar Heels knocked out Oregon State ace Luke Heimlich during a five-run third inning and went on to beat the Beavers 8-6 on Saturday.
The Tar Heels (44-18) used six pitchers in a 4-hour, 24-minute slog that was the longest nine-inning game in CWS history. They turned back threats in the sixth and seventh innings and prevailed against an opponent they hadn’t faced since losing to the Beavers in the 2006 and ’07 CWS finals.
The Beavers were uncharacteristically sloppy while losing their third straight game over two years in Omaha. Carolina scored on a passed ball, and the Beavers committed three errors after making one in their first five NCAA Tournament games.
Then there was Heimlich (16-2), the two-time Pac-12 pitcher of the year who lasted just 2 1/3 innings — his shortest start in two years.
GRIEVING TAR HEELS
Fox said his team played with a heavy heart after learning former North Carolina pitcher Zach Attianese and his father died in a car accident in Michigan on Friday night. Attianese left after his freshman year in 2017, pitched at a junior college and was committed to playing at Florida State next season.

North Carolina plays the Mississippi State-Washington winner on Monday night. Oregon State meets the Mississippi State-Washington loser on Monday.
NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Brett Moffitt won the NASCAR Truck series race Saturday night at Iowa Speedway, his hometown track. The 25-year-old Moffitt, from nearby Grimes, led 76 laps for his second victory of the season in the No. 16 truck. He started 16th, the lowest spot on the grid for a race winner in 2018.
Noah Gragson was second. He briefly passed Moffitt on the final lap, but his bold effort on the back stretch sent him into the wall and allowed Moffitt to cross first. Harrison Burton was third, followed by David Gilliland. Johnny Sauter, who was seeking his third straight win, was fifth.
John Hunter Nemechek and Stewart Friesen, the first two stage winners, were caught in a multi-car wreck early in the final stage that knocked each of them out of contention.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republicans have picked a state agriculture secretary nominee, but it didn’t come easy. The Des Moines Register reports that incumbent Mike Naig was selected Saturday at the Iowa GOP state convention after four rounds of voting. After each round, the bottom candidate was dropped from the ballot. In the last round, Naig topped Corning farmer Ray Gaesser.
Naig nearly won the five-candidate June 5 primary, coming up a fraction of a percentage point short of reaching the 35 percent threshold needed to secure the nomination. That left the matter to be decided at the convention, where a candidate needs 50 percent plus one vote to win. Naig has served in the position since March after the departure of longtime agriculture secretary Bill Northey, who took a job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Naig faces Democrat Tim Gannon in the November general election.
