ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Holliday’s two-run home run in the sixth inning stunned Wily Peralta with the St. Louis Cardinals’ first hit and rookie Shelby Miller blanked the Milwaukee Brewers into the seventh inning of a 4-2 victory Tuesday night. Norichika Aoki of the Brewers struck out three times for the first time in the majors, the last against rookie lefty Kevin Siegrist with a runner on second to end the seventh. Aoki entered the game as the toughest batter to fan in the majors this year, averaging one per 17.2 at-bats.

Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams added RBIs in the seventh and eighth for the NL Central leaders, who are 4-0 to begin a nine-game homestand. After a day off, the Cardinals built on momentum from a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh. Miller allowed five hits with four strikeouts and two walks in 6 2/3 innings.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Speedway CEO Doug Fritz has resigned after two years on the job. The track says Fritz left to pursue another opportunity. Fritz attended Sunday’s NASCAR Camping World Trucks series race, and his resignation became official Monday.

Fritz, the former president of Richmond International Speedway, took over for Jerry Jauron after the 2011 season. Iowa Speedway president Stan Clement will add the chief executive’s duties to his job description.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has done nearly everything it can think of spice up its offense. And yet through two games, Iowa’s best play has been to send 236-pound Mark Weisman into the middle and dare defenses to stop him. Weisman has blossomed into the team’s most consistent playmaker heading into Saturday’s game at Iowa State (0-1).

Weisman is ninth nationally with 280 yards rushing — on a team-high 50 carries — and has reached the 100-yard plateau twice this season. He set a career high with 30 carries in last week’s 28-14 win over Missouri State, finishing with 180 yards and two touchdowns.

The Board of Directors of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) has selected Iowa Public Television (IPTV) as the television provider for its state tournament events.

The three-year agreement will begin with the 2014 Iowa Girls State Basketball Tournament championship games. IPTV will also televise the state finals in soccer, softball and volleyball. There are also plans to broadcast seasonal specials that will recap the swimming & diving, cross country and bowling state tournaments in the winter and the track & field, tennis and golf state championships in the spring.

“We are thrilled to partner with Iowa Public Television,” said IGHSAU Executive Director Mike Dick. “It was very important to us that every Iowan had the opportunity to watch our state tournaments on television. IPTV provides us with that opportunity. We are very happy to have the Iowa Girl showcased alongside all of the quality programming that IPTV provides to millions of Iowans each year.”

“We are extremely thrilled to produce and broadcast the Iowa Girls’ High School Athletic Union Championships showcasing athletes from around the state,” said IPTV Executive Director Molly Phillips. “Iowa Public Television can be received by all viewers in the state of Iowa no matter where they live and is the most watched public television station in the nation.”

Iowa Public Television is Iowa’s statewide public broadcasting network. IPTV provides quality, alternative programming that educates, enlightens and entertains Iowans throughout the state. Iowa Public Television began in Iowa in 1967 when the State Educational Radio and Television Facility Board was created and charged with developing a state network to broadcast educational programs.

A noncommercial, public-service mission enables IPTV to present an unequaled array of programs of lasting value to Iowans regardless of where they live or what they can afford. More than one million viewers a week turn to IPTV for programming that reflects a range of interests for Iowans in all demographic categories.

IPTV can be located on the following channels: Channel 11.1, Des Moines; Channel 12.1, Iowa City; Channel 21.1, Fort Dodge; Channel 24.1, Mason City; Channel 27.1, Sioux City; Channel 32.1, Waterloo; Channel 36.1,Red Oak; Channel 36.1, Davenport.

Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department Director Roger Herring reports the Sunnyside Tennis Court reconstruction project is near completion, and the tennis courts will be open to public play (with some restrictions in place until signage is established), beginning today (Tues., Sept. 10th). Herring says until all the rules can be posted, there will be only one gate available for entrance to the courts. The southeast corner gate by the restrooms will be available to enter, which will still provide access to all courts.

Herring asks persons wanting to play at the facility to use common sense, as the courts have a special surface and is to be used for tennis only. Some of the rules include: The use of tennis shoes only; A one-hour time limit for singles play, 1.5-hours for doubles; The gates must be kept closed at all times; No bicycles, skates, skateboard, in-line skates, hockey, ultimate frisbie or other activities will be permitted.

In addition, no pets are allowed on the courts, sitting…pushing or pulling on the tennis nets, screens or gates is prohibited, as well as climbing on, hitting, or kicking balls, or running into the fences. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Roger Herring at 712-254-0637. And, if you observe any individuals misusing or abusing the facility, contact Herring with a description of those persons, their vehicles.

Herring adds that the restrooms at the Sunnyside Tennis Courts are open for public use.

Three football players from Iowa Western Community College have been cited for being in minors in possession of alcohol. The Daily NonPareil reports the trio were cited inside a dormitory suite on the Iowa Western campus in Council Bluffs, at around 2:10-a.m., Sunday. Council Bluffs Police Officers cited 20-year old Connor Bravard, 19-year old Andrew Ulveling, and 19-year old George Sehl IV.

Bravard, a sophomore from West Des Moines, is the Reivers’ starting quarterback, while Sehl is a freshman wide receiver from Iowa City. Ulveling is a sophomore linebacker from Mason City.
