Morris Leads Veteran Linebackers at Iowa.

Sports

August 20th, 2013 by Jim Field

A veteran linebacker corps will try to help the Iowa football program return to its winning ways this season. James Morris, Christian Kirksey and Anthony Hitchens all enter their senior season but Morris says as a group the linebackers don’t rank very highly, yet.

All three of the linebackers saw the field as true freshmen.

Morris believes the Hawkeyes will be an improved team this season and he hopes the won-loss record reflects it.

The Hawkeyes open the season August 31st against Northern Illinois.

You can hear Iowa Hawkeye Football all season long on KJAN AM 1220 & FM 101.1.

Stewart broke his right leg in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 in Iowa.

Sports

August 20th, 2013 by Jim Field

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Matt Carpenter hit an RBI single with two outs in the eighth inning, putting the St. Louis Cardinals ahead during a four-run rally Monday night in an 8-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Cardinals got seven of their 16 hits in the big inning, capped by David Freese’s two-run double. St. Louis won for the ninth time in 11 games.

Aramis Ramirez snapped a 1-for-18 skid since returning from the disabled list Aug. 13 with a two-run homer off Michael Wacha in the seventh to give the Brewers a 5-4 lead.

It didn’t last long. The Cardinals erupted in the eighth off reliever Brandon Kintzler.

Edward Mujica, who was unavailable during the weekend series at the Chicago Cubs because of a tired arm, pitched the ninth for his 32nd save in 34 chances.

In partnership with Zion Lutheran “Kids Come First” and the Ann Wickman Child Development Center, Warrior Care provides licensed day-care assistance for the children of reservists, National Guardsmen and recently discharged active-duty troops to support them in their job-search activities.

The program provides funding for military members’ children to attend a licensed day-care facility while they are seeking employment, said Rich Kanning, commander of the local Operation Barnabas chapter.

More information about the program can be obtained by contacting Rich Kanning, commander of the local Operation Barnabas chapter, at 243-6825, and the Cass County Veterans Office at 243-6662.
