Drake to serve as host when NCAA Tournament returns to Des Moines

Sports

May 9th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

When the NCAA Tournament returns to Des Moines in 2019 Drake University will serve as the host school. Iowa State was the host in 2016 the first time Wells Fargo Arena hosted a regional in 2016.

(That’s Drake Athletic Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb).

Serving as host means Drake could not be assigned the Des Moines regional if the Bulldogs make the tournament but there still could be a local flavor.

Hatfield Clubb says it will be a great opportunity to showcase the city as well as her school.

She says the attention the NCAA Tournament receives will benefit the entire area.

Martinez 4 RBIs, Cards beat Marlins 9-4 for 4th win in row

Sports

May 9th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

MIAMI (AP) — Cardinals ace Carlos Martinez drove in four runs, compensating for the two homers he gave up to Marcell Ozuna and leading St. Louis over the Miami Marlins 9-4 Monday night for their season-best fourth straight win.

Martinez (2-3) came into the game hitless this year. He hit a two-out, three-run double off Adam Conley in the second inning and singled home a run in the fourth. Martinez struck out seven in six innings. Miguel Socolovich pitched three innings to earn his first career save.

Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton hit his 11th homer in the ninth, his third shot in two days. Ozuna also has 11 homers. Matt Carpenter had a two-run triple for the Cardinals. Teammate Magneuris Sierra, recalled Sunday from Single-A Palm Beach, contributed two hits and scored twice.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly was ejected for arguing balls and strikes after Martinez struck out the side in the second. Conley (2-3) allowed seven runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste:

“This was a great win for our boys golf team.  Not sure that we played as well as we wanted but good to see us keep it together and battle with the wind today.  I like that Jake was runner-up medalist.  He had gotten back to 4 over and had a tough hole 8 where he hit a great shot and it rolled off the back.  He parred it but then boogied nine to stay at 5 over.  Ben had a good round going and lost some strokes but good to finish under 80.  Both Jake and Ben are 1st team all conference.  Matt and Zac had to battle today.  Nate is playing pretty consistent right now.  Good to see him have a score that counted.  Cyle has some struggles today.  Hope that he can learn and bounce back.  I think the lost ball on hole 3 turned the game for him today.

Great to see my first conference title as coach in Atlantic.  Proud of these boys and their season up until now.  We need to keep working on our games to enter post season.”
