ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dexter Fowler tripled and scored, Mike Leake pitched into the seventh inning and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Pittsburgh 2-1 on Tuesday night after Pirates outfielder Starling Marte was suspended 80 games for a banned substance earlier in the day.
Seung Hwan Oh allowed three hits in the ninth but escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam for his second save. Leake (2-1) allowed seven hits and only struck out one, but he held the Pirates to a run over 6 1/3 innings. He has won nine of his last 11 decisions against the Pirates dating to Sept. 11, 2012.
The Cardinals have won back-to-back games for the first time this season to improve to 5-9. Chad Kuhl (1-1) gave up two runs over six innings. He allowed three hits and struck out three.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An attorney for a former University of Iowa athletic administrator described her as an outstanding employee on track to head a college program until she was unfairly demoted and later laid off for discriminatory reasons.
Attorney Thomas Newkirk gave former administrator Jane Meyer’s view of her firing Tuesday in during opening statements of the trial over her lawsuit against the school. The trial is expected to offer a glimpse into big-time college sports with testimony by athletic director Gary Barta, head football coach Kirk Ferentz and others.
If they agree with Meyer, jurors could award her damages for pay and emotional distress. Assistant attorney general George Carroll responded that Meyer was moved out of the athletics department because of her performance and not due to discrimination.
Iowa and Iowa State announced Tuesday that their annual series has been extended through 2023, temporarily quelling fears that the matchup could be on the way out.
The Hawkeyes and Cyclones tacked two years onto a matchup that’s been contested every season since 1977. The Hawkeyes lead the series 42-22.
There was concern that Iowa might want to put the series on pause now that the Big Ten has moved to a nine-game schedule. But the series between the instate rivals has been tight in recent years — save for Iowa’s 42-3 thrashing of the Cyclones in 2016 — and Iowa State’s facilities have improved to the point where a push for Big 12 relevance might not be far off.
Iowa State hosts the Hawkeyes on Sept. 9.
Members of the Griswold School District’s Board of Education Monday evening, voted unanimously in favor of switching athletic conferences. Superintendent Dave Henrichs..
(He says the Board voted 5-0 to leave the WIC Conference and join the Corner Conference, beginning with the 2018-19 school year.)
Henrichs said there were many factors considered in making the decision.
(He says some include comparable school sizes, closer travel, a comparison of activities, and because it was a better fit for the district’s students.)
