DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Verlander (7-4) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced and worked out of a seventh-inning jam to help Detroit hold on. He struck out Allen Craig with the bases loaded with his final pitch. Verlander allowed five hits and walked four, striking out only three. Joaquin Benoit worked the eighth, and Phil Coke pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the year. Lance Lynn (10-3) allowed five runs and nine hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked two. Austin Jackson hit a two-run double for the Tigers, part of their three-run second inning.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Scott Sitz gave up five hits and struck out eight in a season-high 6 2-3 innings, and Florida State eliminated UCLA from the College World Series with a 4-1 victory Tuesday night. Florida State (50-16) plays Arizona on Thursday, needing to beat the Wildcats twice to reach the championship round. No. 2 national seed UCLA (48-16) was knocked out a day after No. 1 Florida was eliminated from the opposite bracket. Sitz (4-3) had not made it through five innings in six of his previous seven outings. The junior held the Bruins to two singles through five innings and struck out the side in the sixth after UCLA loaded the bases. UCLA starter Zack Weiss (3-3) was pulled after getting just one out. Bases-loaded walks in the opening inning produced the Seminoles’ first two runs.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Florida State coach Mike Martin suspended infielder John Holland indefinitely Tuesday after the freshman was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at an Omaha sporting goods store. The suspension was announced a few hours before the Seminoles faced UCLA in the College World Series. Holland was the Seminoles’ designated hitter in their first two CWS games. The infielder was batting .243 for the season, and appeared in 41 games, 16 as a starter. Martin said that Holland “made a serious error in judgment.” The coach said the university would have no further comment. Omaha police said security at the Scheels store spotted the 19-year-old Holland and 23-year-old Steve Holland about 4:20 p.m. Monday changing the price tag on merchandise. The two attempted to purchase the items for the lower price. It was unknown if or how the Hollands were related. The men were booked for shoplifting and released after posting bond.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Principal Financial Group will remain the title sponsor of the Champions Tour event in Iowa through 2015, even though Glen Oaks Country Club isn’t currently planning to host the event in 2013.
Principal says Tuesday that is has signed a three-year deal to stay on as the main sponsor of the event. Tournament organizers say that Glen Oaks has recently indicated it won’t host the event next year and that they’re aggressively exploring other options in greater Des Moines.
Glen Oaks, in West Des Moines, has hosted every Champions Tour event but one since the circuit began visiting Iowa in 2001. There was no immediate word on why the club has decided not to host the event.
