ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled second baseman Kolten Wong from Triple-A Memphis after a four-hit, four-RBI game in the minors. Infielder Greg Garcia was optioned to Memphis on Wednesday. Garcia was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 12th inning Tuesday night for the game-winning run against the Cubs, also his first career RBI.

The 23-year-old Wong opened the season as the Cardinals’ starting second baseman. He was batting .225 when he was demoted April 27. At Memphis, he hit .344 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 15 games with five steals in five attempts. He was 4 for 5 against Round Rock on Tuesday.

Veteran Mark Ellis has been starting at second since Wong was optioned and was batting .190 with seven RBIs in 63 at-bats.

New abuse allegations made against former Iowa doc

News

May 14th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

HARLAN, Iowa (AP) — Prosecutors say numerous abuse complaints have now been made against a former western Iowa doctor charged with molesting a 10-year-old girl in 1999. Shelby County authorities tell The Council Bluffs Daily NonPareil that other people say they were victims of 81-year-old Wing Tai Fung, now of Ontario, Canada. Fung was arrested late last month at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. A warrant for his arrest had been issued in November.

A criminal complaint says Fung molested a girl in January 1999 while treating her for a knee sprain at Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan. Fung has been charged with felony second-degree sexual abuse. Fung had an initial court appearance in Cook County, Illinois, where he waived his extradition so the case could be tried in Shelby County.
