The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says one person was arrested Sunday morning following an investigation into a fight. 18-year old Conner Thibodeaux, of Corning, was taken into custody at around 1:40-a.m., on charges of Minor in Possession of Alcohol, and Public Intoxication.

Officials say the Adams County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a fight which occurred at a residence in Corning. Upon arrival, deputies learned Thibodeaux, who was allegedly involved in the altercation, had left the scene.

He was eventually located in Corning, and brought to the hospital to be checked for injuries before being arrested and brought to the Adams County Jail, where Thibodeaux was being held on $600 bond, pending an appearance before a magistrate.

Ricky Nolasco, Marlins beat Cardinals 7-2

MIAMI (AP) – Ricky Nolasco allowed one run and three hits in seven innings Sunday to help the Miami Marlins take the rubber game of their three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-2.   NL Central leader St. Louis lost a series for the first time since April 26-28 against Pittsburgh.
 
The Marlins climbed above .300 at 21-47, still baseball’s worst record. They scored 19 runs in the series against a team with the lowest ERA in the majors.  The abundance of offense was a refreshing change for Nolasco (4-7), who has endured the worst run support of any pitcher with at least 14 tarts. Luxuriating in a lead, he retired 11 in a row during one stretch.

DeNato pitches Indiana to 2-0 win over Louisville

June 15th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Joey DeNato threw a four-hitter and Indiana looked right at home in beating Louisville 2-0 on Saturday night in the Hoosiers’ first appearance in the College World Series. The Hoosiers manufactured their runs early, and DeNato (10-2) made them stand up in a masterful performance in front of a TD Ameritrade Park-record crowd of 27,122.
 
Indiana (49-18) has beaten the Cardinals (51-13) in three of four meetings, shutting them out twice. The Hoosiers will play Monday against Mississippi State, and the Cardinals will face Oregon State in an elimination game. DeNato allowed three singles and a double in his second complete game. He struck out eight and walked three. Louisville starter Chad Green (10-4) left after Indiana loaded the bases with none out in the third inning. 

Indiana is the first Big Ten team in the CWS since Michigan in 1984 and gave the conference its first win in Omaha since the Wolverines beat Stanford in 1983.

An elderly man died from injuries he suffered during a fire Saturday afternoon, in Harlan. Harlan Fire Chief Roger Bissen told KJAN News late Saturday night, 89-year old Bernard Wolfe, a long-time Harlan resident, was found trapped in the basement of his home at 1013 Durant Street, shortly after the fire was reported at around 4:15-p.m., Saturday. Bissen said rescue crews administered CPR on Wolfe, who was transported the Myrtue Medical Center, where he later died. Bissen said the fire started in the basement of the home, when a torch Wolfe was using apparently malfunctioned. Damage to the home was minimal, according to Bissen, and appeared to have been limited to the wiring. Firefighters from Harlan were assisted at the scene by crews from the Westphalia Fire Department, Medivac Ambulance, the Harlan Police Department and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

Beltran homers twice as Cards beat Marlins 13-7

June 15th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

MIAMI (AP) – Carlos Beltran homered from each side of the plate and tripled to lead a 17-hit attack Saturday, and Lance Lynn notched his ninth victory when the St. Louis Cardinals outslugged the Miami Marlins 13-7. Swinging left-handed, Beltran hit his 15th home run in the second inning and tripled for the first time since May 2012 in the eighth. He hit another home run from the right side in the ninth – the 11th time he has homered from both sides in a game. 
 
Yadier Molina singled home two runs in the Cardinals’ five-run first inning, and David Freese’s fourth homer in the third inning put them ahead to stay. Lynn (9-1) allowed a career-high seven runs in five innings against the lowest-scoring team in the majors, but his two-run single hit in the fifth inning gave the Cardinals a three-run lead to help them pull away.
