Hart Homers Twice, Brewers Beat Cardinals 6-0

Sports

April 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Corey Hart homered twice, Zack Greinke pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Saturday. Rickie Weeks homered while Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Gomez add RBI doubles for the Brewers, who rebounded after dropping Friday’s season opener. Ryan Braun had a pair of doubles and drew a walk after going 0 for 5 on Friday. Greinke (1-0) continued the dominant form he showed at Miller Park all last season. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven. Greinke’s strong outing overshadowed the long-awaited return to the mound for the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright, who missed all of the 2011 season after having elbow surgery.

The third and final legislative coffee to be held in Cass County will take place April 14th, in Griswold. The event, which is sponsored by PRIDE (the Progressive Rural Iowa Development Enterprise), along with support from the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, begins at 10-a.m. next Saturday, at the Cass County Historical Museum (414 Main St.), in Griswold. Scheduled to attend is State Senator Nancy Boettger, from Harlan, and Representatives Clel Baudler, from Greenfield, along with Jack Drake, from Griswold.

The event marks the final legislative coffee for Boettger, whose district lines have moved outside of Cass County following redistricting as a result of the 2010 census.
