April 16th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Brandon Phillips, Zack Cozart and Jay Bruce had two RBIs apiece for the Cincinnati Reds, who erased an early four-run deficit against St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright in a 9-8 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. Stephen Piscotty had four RBIs for St. Louis, and his three-run homer made it 4-0 in the second.

J.J. Hoover allowed a two-run homer to Brandon Moss before finishing for his first save. Wainwright (0-2) retired his first eight before Reds starter Brandon Finnegan (1-0) singled with two outs in the third. The two-time 20-game winner was charged with seven runs in 5 1/3 innings and has struggled mightily with an 8.27 ERA after missing most of 2015 with a torn left Achilles.

Oskaloosa–Brooke Fletcher (So., Atlantic, Iowa, Business Management) picked up a links title last week and her performance netted her Heart of America Athletic Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week honors Monday.

Fletcher earned her first weekly accolade by topping the 55-player field at the Mike “Fluff” Cowan Intercollegiate hosted by William Penn with a 161 (81-80).  The sophomore, who was playing for WPU’s second team, won the event by two strokes; the 161 is the lowest two-day score of her career.

Fletcher’s title is her first at the collegiate level.  She currently owns an 83.9 stroke average over 16 rounds, highlighted by a career best of 78.

The award is the fourth of the year for the program.FletcherBrookeActionFall15web

Cubs activate Javier Baez from 15-day disabled list

Sports

April 15th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have activated utility player Javier Baez from the disabled list and optioned infielder Munenori Kawasaki to Triple-A Iowa. Today’s (Friday’s) moves come after Baez went 4 for 15 while playing four positions in a four-game rehab stint with Iowa. Baez injured his left thumb while sliding headfirst into first base during a spring training game, limiting him to 30 at-bats in exhibition games.

Baez might play some left field with Kyle Schwarber out for the season with torn knee ligaments. Baez was the ninth overall pick in the 2011 draft. He has 10 home runs and 119 strikeouts in 80 major league games over the past two seasons.

Delay in regent’s $5M gift to Iowa football raises questions

News, Sports

April 15th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa powerbroker Bruce Rastetter has long used his $5 million pledge to Hawkeye football to build his image as a successful businessman and philanthropist. But years after his 2008 commitment was touted as the largest gift to Iowa athletics, Rastetter has given less than a third of that amount. Another donor who promised $5 million that day has completed his pledge. The football complex they were supporting has been built.

Rastetter is now president of the school’s governing body. His handling of the donation contradicts public statements claiming he’s given $5 million, which he’s used to deflect criticism that his policies hurt the university. And it raises questions about whether the delay was part of the pressure he put on former university president Sally Mason, who resigned last year.
