Midwest Sports Headlines: 9/18/2019

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Howie Kendrick finished a double shy of hitting for a cycle, Patrick Corbin pitched six strong innings, and the Washington Nationals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2. St. Louis leads the NL Central by two games over the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers, and the Nationals hold the NL’s top wild card by 1 1/2 games over the Cubs and Brewers. Corbin struck out 11 while giving up two unearned runs and five hits in six innings.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog is recovering from a minor stroke. The 87-year-old Herzog became ill Monday at his charity golf tournament at Forest Hills Country Club in suburban St. Louis. The St. Louis Cardinals say Herzog is “currently resting and doing well.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Matt Olson hit a tying homer leading off the seventh, Seth Brown hit a go-ahead double two batters later, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 to keep control of the AL’s top wild card. Olson’s drive to deep center reached the Coliseum’s elevated bleachers in the level above the luxury suites. Royals starter Jorge Lopez (4-8) then hit Mark Canha with a pitch before Brown doubled.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Everyone thought Sammy Watkins and flashy rookie Mecole Hardman would pick up the slack for injured Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Turns out it was Demarcus Robinson who had the big day. He hauled in all six of his passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns as the Chiefs rolled to a 28-10 victory over the Raiders on Sunday.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has some cleaning up to do if it wants to become the team it hoped to be back in August. Muffed punts and untimely penalties have hurt the Cyclones, who have also struggled to score points in their 1-1 start to the season. Iowa State hosts Louisiana-Monroe this weekend.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State is exploring construction of a multi-use “arts, culture and community district’ between Hilton Coliseum and Jack Trice Stadium. The school says athletic director Jamie Pollard and Iowa State Research Park President Rick Sanders will lead a feasibility study on the area, which is mostly a series of parking lots.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have claimed cornerback Tremon Smith off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. The second-year player out of Central Arkansas was a sixth-round pick of the Chiefs last year.

The Atlantic High School recently completed the addition of a new hallway connecting the gymnasium to the Multi-Purpose Room/Wrestling Room.  This was made possible by very generous donations from Little Trojans Wrestling and the Atlantic Booster Club.  This hallway will allow for the movement of people and equipment between the two areas without being exposed to the elements.

Pictured are members of the Booster Club, Wrestling Coaches, Little Trojans Board and Activities Department

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Brett Phillips hit a tying home run off Liam Hendricks in the ninth inning, Adalberto Mondesi followed with an RBI double and the Kansas City Royals beat Oakland 6-5 to end the Athletics’ six-game winning streak. Oakland’s lead over Tampa Bay for the top AL wild card was cut to one game. Cleveland is 1½ games behind the Rays. Khris Davis’ RBI single off Kevin McCarthy gave Oakland a 5-4 lead in the eighth.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs and threw out a runner at home plate from left field, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Washington Nationals 4-2. St. Louis maintained a two-game NL Central lead over the second-place Chicago Cubs, who closed within a half-game of the Nationals for the top NL wild card. Nationals manager Dave Martinez missed the game following a heart procedure in Washington, and bench coach Chip Hale was in charge of the dugout.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes has won games for the Kansas City Chiefs without Sammy Watkins and Tyreek Hill, without a bell-cow running back or a defense capable of stopping just about anyone. He proved it once more on Sunday, putting together another dynamic performance on a sore ankle to lead Kansas City to a 28-10 victory in Oakland.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — When a Scott Frost offense is at its best, it’s moving fast and generating big plays. Nebraska has scored 12 offensive touchdowns and two field goals through three games. Seven of those 14 possessions featured plays between 30 and 75 yards. The Cornhuskers also have 15 non-TD possessions that failed to net 10 yards. Nebraska opens Big Ten play at Illinois on Saturday.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa says it has contacted Iowa State after the Hawkeye Marching Band was subjected to “inappropriate actions” during Saturday’s football game between the two rivals. The statement from Iowa athletic director Gary Barta did not include details. Iowa rallied to beat Iowa State 18-17 on the road. The Iowa band, like the team itself, was booed heavily by the Iowa State student section when it entered the stadium before kickoff.

NEW YORK (AP) — Maya Moore stepped away from the WNBA before the season. She has spent much of her time trying to help a friend overturn his conviction. Jonathan Irons is serving a 50-year sentence for the nonfatal shooting of a homeowner during a burglary in Missouri in 1997. Moore says there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime and believes he was a victim of prosecutorial misconduct. Irons has asked a judge to reopen his case and will be in court next month for a hearing.
