BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota State has hired T.J. Otzelberger as its new men’s basketball coach.

Assistant athletic director Jason Hove confirmed to The Associated Press that Otzelberger will replace longtime coach Scott Nagy, who took the job at Wright State after leading the Jackrabbits to the NCAA Tournament three of the past five years.

Otzelberger, a top assistant at Iowa State, was being introduced during a news conference Thursday.

Nagy led the Jackrabbits this season to a 26-8 record and a Summit League Tournament championship. South Dakota State lost to Maryland 79-74 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jaime Garcia pitched a one-hitter, allowing only Domingo Santana’s lined single into right field with two outs in the sixth inning, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-0 Thursday.

Garcia struck out 13, three more than his previous career high, and caught eight of them looking at third strikes. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 1.44 ERA in his last five starts against the Brewers.

Randal Grichuk and Jeremy Hazelbaker hit two-run homers. Grichuk’s drive in the third off Wily Peralta (0-3) barely eluded the glove of center field Keon Broxton. Grichuk appeared to pass teammate Brandon Moss rounding first while looking to see if Broxton made the catch, but the Brewers didn’t challenge.

Hazelbaker hit his team-high third home run of the season in the seventh, against Chris Capuano.

Three weeks into spring drills and Drake coach Rick Fox is still looking for more consistency from the offense. The Bulldogs are coming off their latest scrimmage and Fox says the defense dominated. Fox says not only does the offense need to execute better but it also needs to become more physical.

The Bulldogs have four practices remaining before the annual Blue-White Game on Saturday, April 23.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Domingo Santana hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning, Chase Anderson threw six innings without an earned run and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 on Wednesday night. Santana connected off closer Trevor Rosenthal (0-1) with two out to break a 4-4 tie.

Milwaukee had lost five of its previous seven in St. Louis. Jeremy Jeffress pitched the ninth for his fourth save. St. Louis’ Brandon Moss tied the game 4-4 with a leadoff, pinch-hit homer in the eighth off reliever Michael Blazek (1-0).

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Marco Gonzales will have season-ending Tommy John surgery. General manager John Mozeliak announced the decision Wednesday, and said he expects Gonzales to have the operation Friday. Gonzales injured his elbow during spring training.

The 22-year-old Gonzales was limited to one start for the Cardinals last season because of shoulder problems. Gonzales was 4-2 with a 4.15 ERA in 10 games as rookie in 2014 after being selected by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2013 draft. He continued his strong play in the postseason, going 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in six games.

The standard recovery from Tommy John surgery is 12-15 months.
