AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm announced Saturday that the school and freshman guard Nick Noskowiak have agreed to mutually part ways.
“Nick informed us Friday night of his decision to step away from basketball and we agree that it is in his best interest and the best interest of Iowa State for us to mutually part,” Prohm said. “We appreciate his effort when he was with us and wish him and his family the best in the future.”
“I have decided to step away from the Iowa State men’s basketball program,” Noskowiak said. “I wish Coach Prohm, my former coaches and teammates the best of luck in the future and I appreciate the opportunity they gave me to be a part of their team.”
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Yadier Molina’s 100th career home run in the bottom of the eighth inning snapped a tie and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Molina added an RBI single in the first and rookie Stephen Piscotty homered in the third for St. Louis, which took two of three from the NL West-contending Giants. The Cardinals are 77-43 overall and 46-19 at home, both tops in the majors.
Kevin Siegrist (5-0) allowed a walk in the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal earned his 38th save in 40 chances, striking out pinch-hitting pitcher Madison Bumgarner to end it. Siegrist won both of the games in the series and the Cardinals wrapped up a 6-3 homestand with three 2-1 series wins and have won six consecutive series overall.
Molina lined an 0-1 breaking ball from Hunter Strickland (2-3) into the left field stands for his fourth homer of the year.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Ryan Vogelsong pitched six innings of two-hit ball and ace Madison Bumgarner keyed a seventh-inning rally with his first career pinch hit, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Brandon Crawford doubled leading off the fifth for the Giants’ first hit when left fielder Brandon Moss couldn’t quite hold onto his drive down the line near both walls. He also had a run-scoring groundout in the sixth for the first run.
The Giants have won six of eight and handed the Cardinals, who got a strong bounce-back outing from Lance Lynn, just their 19th home loss compared with 45 wins.
AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State says basketball player Georgios Tsalmpouris is turning pro.
Tsalmpouris, a 7-foot-1 center from Katerini, Greece, was a late addition to the Cyclones roster last season.
Tsalmpouris was a project for former coach Fred Hoiberg. He played in just eight games as a freshman in 2014-15, averaging 1.4 points. The move was expected after Tsalmpouris returned to Greece this summer.
Tsalmpouris’s departure frees up a scholarship for new coach Steve Prohm, who will lose four key contributors following next season.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Stephen Piscotty tripled and scored the go-ahead run on Mark Reynolds’ groundout in the eighth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Monday night. The run came a little too late for Michael Wacha, who allowed one run in seven innings with six strikeouts but missed a chance to become the majors’ first 15-game winner.
Yadier Molina hit his third homer leading off the fourth for St. Louis. The Giants tied it on Brandon Crawford’s two-out RBI triple in the sixth. The Cardinals have won nine of 12, ended the Giants’ four-game winning streak, and lead Pittsburgh by six games in the NL Central.
Kevin Siegrist (4-0) worked a perfect eighth against the top of the Giants order and Trevor Rosenthal earned his 37th save in 39 chances when pinch-hitter Buster Posey flied out to the wall in center.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Sprint car driver Kevin Swindell had a second surgery on his back Monday for two fractures suffered in a crash last week at Knoxville Raceway. A statement from Swindell’s family said “both surgeries have been successful.” Swindell is still undergoing tests for a spinal cord injury.
The 26-year-old driver was injured in a crash last Thursday in the lead-in races to the Knoxville Nationals. His car flipped at the start of a heat race. His family said they realize Swindell has a “long battle ahead, but Kevin has remained positive throughout the process and is prepared to fight to regain his health.”
Swindell is the son of famed sprint car driver Sammy Swindell. He is a four-time winner of the Chili Bowl Nationals, and has 30 starts on NASCAR’s Xfinity Series.
