Olejniczak leaves Drake

Sports

April 6th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Drake center Dominik Olejniczak is leaving the program. Olejniczak’s play down the stretch was the bright spot in an otherwise dreadful season for the Bulldogs that saw them finish 7-and-24 overall, and just 2-and 16 in Missouri Valley Conference play. The seven-footer from Poland average 6.5-points on the season, but scored 19 in the win over Loyola in the regular season finale, and had 18 points and eight rebounds in a 69-67 loss to Missouri State in the opening round of the MVC Tournament.

He’s the second player to leave the team since the end of the season. West Des Moines native Kale Abrahamson announced in March he was leaving the program.

Mercer lifts Pirates over Cardinals 6-5 in 11 innings

April 6th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jordy Mercer singled home Gregory Polanco from second base with one out in the 11th inning to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Polanco, who agreed to a $35 million, five-year contract earlier in the day, drew a walk from Seth Maness (0-1) with one out and made it to second on Josh Harrison’s infield single. Mercer slapped a single to right for his fourth career game-ending hit.

Kyle Lobstein (1-0) pitched two innings of relief for the win. Andrew McCutchen had three hits for Pittsburgh. Mercer, Harrison and David Friese had two hits each. Jedd Gyorko hit his first home run for St. Louis. Stephen Piscotty went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Cardinals relievers retired 18 straight batters before Polanco’s walk started the winning rally.
