St. Louis Cardinals rookie Juan Yepez hit a double down the third base line in the 9th inning and Dylan Carlson drove in that run with a single to center, lifting the Cardinals to a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.

The game was tied virtually the whole night with both teams scoring two runs in the 5th before the go ahead run by St. Louis in the 9th. Harrison Bader drove in the other two runs for the Cardinals with a two-run homer, his second of the season.

Ryan Helsley was credited with the win on the mound going just one inning. Giovanny Gallegos came on in the ninth for his sixth save of the year.

The Cardinals improved to 16-10 and will face the Giants again on Saturday at 6:15 p.m. CT. We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame at 5:20 p.m.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Redshirt sophomore Adam Mazur flirted with his second straight complete game shutout and the University of Iowa baseball team’s offense put up a five spot in the third inning en route to a 5-2 series-opening victory over Purdue on Friday at Duane Banks Field.

The win moves the Hawkeyes to 27-15 overall and 11-5 in Big Ten play.  Iowa has won seven straight series openers dating back to March 25.

Mazur tossed 8 2/3 shutout innings before giving up two runs with two outs in the top of the ninth.  The righthander retired 11 straight Boilermakers from the third through the sixth innings before surrendering a leadoff single in the seventh.

“I was pitching into the zone and letting them hit it,” said Mazur, who improves to 6-2 this season. “I know I have a lot of good help behind me.”

Iowa’s offense scored five runs – all in the third inning – and finished with 10 hits in the game.

Seven different Hawkeyes tallied a hit with Fullard leading the way with a 3-for-4 day with one RB

Montgomery County law enforcement news: Man arrested for fuel theft; Pickup truck stolen

News

May 6th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Red Oak, Iowa) — Authorities in Montgomery County, Friday, said a man was arrest on a Felony Theft charge related to the theft of nearly 864 gallons of fuel. A joint investigation involving the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Red Oak Police resulted in the arrest of 19-year-old Tucker Alan Tepoel, from Villisca. He was charged with 2nd degree theft–a Class D felony. His bond was set at $5,000.

And, Police in Red Oak Police are asking for your help in locating a stolen pickup truck. A blue, 1997 Chevy extended cab half-ton pickup with Iowa license plate BOJ 946, was reported stolen from Red Oak at around 12:30-p.m., today (Friday). The vehicle was taken from outside of a residence at 111 W. Walnut Street, in Red Oak, between 10- and 10:30-a.m.

The vehicle has blue fender flares, and has a loud squeal, because it doesn’t have a power steering pump. If you see this vehicle, please notify your local law enforcement agency or you can also call the Red Oak Police Department at 712-623-6500.

DNR expert says personal air quality monitors can show trends

News

May 6th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Consumers can buy small handheld devices that measure outdoor air quality for as little as 110-dollars these days — and Brian Hutchins of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says these monitors do show air quality TRENDS — but often have higher air pollution readings than the monitors used by government agencies like his.

“EPA has been doing some studies to show the differences between these monitors, so one needs to bear that in mind,” Hutchins says. At least one manufacturer of outdoor air monitors for personal use has warned that in wildfire conditions air quality readings may be slightly too high — because of the density of smoke particles. Hutchins says people with asthma or other health conditions still may find the information useful.

“It will give an indication of what the air quality is in real time, so one can look at the results from the low cost sensors and help people make determinations of their outdoor activities on a day to day basis,” Hutchins says. In 2020, the D-N-R participated in a 16-state study of how results from government-maintained monitors compared to hand-held devices.

The U-S Environmental Protection Agency then came up with a way to calculate the difference in readings and now uses data from small, consumer-grade monitors along with information from satellites and government-maintained monitors to measure air quality.  “People can go to EPA’s Air Now website and you can see the real-time data on that website and it will tell you whether we’re having a good day for air quality,” Hutchins says, “or if we have elevated levels, it will show that, too.”

There are also smart-phone apps that show air quality measurements. Last July, an air quality alert was issued for the entire state of Iowa due to wildfires in Canada and the western United States. Last month’s wildfires in southwest Nebraska did not dramatically affect air quality in Iowa, but experts say with wildfire seasons starting earlier in the west and spreading into Nebraska and Kansas, that’s likely to cause prompt more air quality alerts in Iowa.

Iowans need to learn the warning signs of stroke

News

May 6th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) -May is Stroke Awareness Month in Iowa, as people are urged to learn about the dangers of what’s now the state’s seventh-leading cause of death. Mark Mintun, a physician’s assistant at Van Diest Medical Center in Webster City, says a stroke is essentially a brain attack. “Everybody understands, for the most part, what a heart attack is,” Mintun says, “so if you think about a stroke as a heart attack but in the brain, maybe that would be an easier way to look at it.”

Mintun says there are basically two types of stroke.  “There’s one that’s a caused by a clot, which is like what you have with a heart attack,” Mintun says. “There’s another less common form called a hemorrhagic stroke, which is when you rupture a small artery in your head, and you have a stroke because all the brain tissue surrounding that area can’t get fed because of the blood that has leaked out into the brain.”

There are a few key symptoms or warning signs that a person may have suffered a stroke, and one way to remember them all as with the word FAST. “Face, Arm, Speech and Time,” Mintun says. “Face, if you have facial droop. Arm, if you have one-sided weakness, like you can’t lift your arm or your arm’s not functioning properly. Speech, if you’re having trouble speaking. And then Time. Naturally, if that happens, if you see any of those symptoms, get to the emergency department right away because time is important.”

The Iowa Department of Public Health reports 1,390 Iowans died of stroke in 2020.
