Cards catcher Molina will try to play with splint over thumb

Sports

October 6th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina will try to play in the NL division series wearing a splint to protect his injured left thumb. The All-Star catcher met with a hand specialist on Monday and it was determined that a ligament injury hasn’t healed. He’ll test the splint in workouts the next few days. Molina was hurt on Sept. 20 making a tag at the plate and hasn’t played since then.

General manager John Mozeliak said Molina was feeling stronger and added he was optimistic the 33-year-old would be on the postseason roster. Backup Tony Cruz would be the starter if Molina is unable to play. The Cardinals on Friday night will host the winner of the wild-card game between the Cubs and Pirates.

 

Drake hoping to turn corner in 2015-16

Sports

October 6th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Last season was a landmark year for basketball in the state of Iowa, as three Division I teams reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time. Drake hopes to crash that party soon.

The Bulldogs, who’ve been to the NCAA Tournament just once since 1971, are optimistic they can inch closer to postseason play in 2015-16. The “Big Dance” might be a stretch, but a run at .500 after two losing seasons under coach Ray Giacoletti is certainly a possibility.

Drake, which went 9-22 last year, opens at Tulane on Nov. 16.

Warren emergence comes at key time for Iowa State

Sports

October 6th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Mike Warren is breaking out at just the right time for Iowa State. The Cyclones running back has rushed for 301 yards in the last two games, including a 175-yard effort in last Saturday’s victory over Kansas, the most ever by an Iowa State freshman.

He could play a key role in the weeks ahead because the Cyclones’ next three opponents are the Big 12’s top three offensive teams — Texas Tech, TCU and Baylor. Iowa State’s defense could depend on the Cyclone ground game to chew up clock and keep those offenses off the field.

Warren has rocketed to sixth in the league in rushing after carrying only nine times for 28 yards in the Cyclones’ first two games. He’s averaging 6.9 yards per carry for the season.

Cubit doubts Illini’s Ferguson will play at No. 22 Iowa

Sports

October 5th, 2015 by admin

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Interim Illinois coach Bill Cubit says he doubts injured running back Josh Ferguson will be able to play Saturday against No. 22 Iowa.

Cubit said Monday that the starting back was due to see a doctor later Monday. But Cubit said that he wasn’t optimistic the right-shoulder injury would allow Ferguson to play.

Illinois (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) lost Ferguson in the first quarter of last Saturday’s 14-13 win over Nebraska. The senior has 397 yards and three touchdowns on 71 carries.

Freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn took over for him Saturday and was the only other Illini back to carry the ball. Vaughn had 98 yards on 24 carries.

Cubit said Illinois will need little-used junior Henry Enyenihi to help pick up the rushing load at Iowa (5-0, 1-0).
