One of the oldest records at the Drake Relays could be in Jeopardy later this month. Relays director Blake Bolden says he has put together a field for the men’s 1500 meters that has the potential to set a new mark.
Leading the field will be two time Drake champion Clayton Murphy, who won Bronze in the 800 at the Rio Olympics.
The Drake Relays are April 26-29.

The University of Iowa baseball team fell 8-6 to Nebraska in Sunday afternoon’s series finale at Haymarket Park. The Hawkeyes won 2-of-3 games during the weekend series. Iowa reliever Nick Nelsen (0-2) suffered the loss. The junior entered the game in the seventh inning and gave up two runs on two hits in 1 1/3 innings.
Iowa starter Cole McDonald went three innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and walking two. The Hawkeyes used four pitchers out of the bullpen in Elijah Wood, Nelsen, Josh Martsching, and Zach Daniels.
Nebraska’s Chad Luensmann picked up his second win of the season, pitching the eighth inning and giving up zero earned runs on two hits. The Hawkeyes (22-12, 5-4) return to action on Wednesday, traveling to Bradley for a midweek matchup.

NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about some serious sticker shock! The baseball that curiously stuck to Yadier Molina’s chest protector during a game this month was sold for $2,015 in a St. Louis Cardinals online auction. There were 58 bids for the ball, and the winner was declared when the auction closed Sunday night.
By now, most fans are familiar with the bizarre play: Cardinals reliever Brett Cecil struck out pinch-hitter Matt Szczur of the Chicago Cubs on a pitch in the dirt April 6. The ball bounced up and somehow stuck to Molina’s chest protector as the Gold Glove catcher looked around trying to find it. By the time he did, Szczur was safe at first base.
Major League Baseball looked into the play and determined there was no rules violation. Molina said he had no idea how Cecil’s pitch clung to his equipment. He was asked after the game if he put something sticky there and dismissed it as a “dumb question.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Greg Bird busted out of his slump with a long home run that began a perfect night at the plate, and Michael Pineda pitched the New York Yankees past the staggering St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 on Sunday for their seventh straight victory.
Aaron Hicks also hit a homer and Aaron Judge was robbed of one by a fan in the bleachers, forcing the young Yankees bopper to settle for an RBI triple. New York chased Adam Wainwright (0-3) in the fifth and finished a three-game sweep that left St. Louis at 3-9, the worst record in the National League and its poorest start since 1988.
His cap cocked to the side, Pineda (2-1) went seven innings in a sharp follow-up to his dominant outing last Monday, when he retired the first 20 Tampa Bay batters and struck out 11 over 7 2/3 innings for an 8-1 victory in New York’s home opener.

A three-run seventh-inning sent the University of Iowa baseball team to a 5-3, series-clinching victory over Nebraska Saturday night, at Haymarket Park in front of the Huskers’ largest home crowd since 2015. The win gives Iowa its second Big Ten series victory this season and moves the Hawkeyes’ record to 22-11 overall and 5-3 in Big Ten play. It is Iowa’s first series win in Lincoln.
Iowa starter Ryan Erickson recorded his first win of the year, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits. He struck out six batters in six innings. Nebraska starting pitcher Derek Burkampeer, a Muscatine, Iowa, native, suffered the loss, giving up three runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The Hawkeyes will go for the series sweep this afternoon (Sunday) just after 2-p.m. The game will be televised live on BTN.

SIBLEY, Iowa (AP) – A former Sibley-Ocheyedan football coach and middle school teacher fired in 2015 after the superintendent found him sleeping in his classroom next to a middle school boy has been charged with sexual assault.
The Sioux City Journal reports 38-year-old Kyle Thomas Ewinger, of West Burlington, was fired after he was found with a 10-year-old boy sleeping on an air mattress. The newspaper says the boy at the time denied anything sexual had happened, but later said that Ewinger had performed a sex act on him, according to a March criminal complaint.
Ewinger was arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree sexual assault. He’s free on $10,000 bond.
NEW YORK (AP) — Cardinals ace Carlos Martinez put on a historically uneven performance, walking a career-high eight while striking out 11 and handing CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees a 3-2 win Saturday. The Yankees won their sixth straight despite tying a team record by fanning 17 times. They got plenty of help from sloppy St. Louis, which at 3-8 is off to its worst start in 20 years and has the poorest record in the NL.
Martinez’s misadventures on the mound — he also airmailed a tapper to the backstop and threw a wild pitch — stood in sharp contrast to Sabathia (2-0), who took a shutout into the eighth. Jedd Gyorko and Stephen Piscotty homered late for St. Louis.
Martinez (0-2) couldn’t be touched at the start, and not always to his benefit. Of the first 12 batters, none put the ball in play. The All-Star righty became the first pitcher in 60 years with at least six strikeouts and six walks through two innings, the Elias Sports Bureau said.
