2 Iowa State football players arrested after spring game

Sports

April 13th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two Iowa State University football players were arrested in separate incidents after Saturday’s spring game. The Des Moines Register reports 20-year-old Jack Rhoads, who is the son of coach Paul Rhoads, was one of the two players arrested. The other player was 23-year-old Terry Ayeni.

Neither player appeared in court. They were no longer in custody Sunday morning. Coach Paul Rhoads said he’s aware of the situation and will gather more information before deciding what discipline the players will face. Police records say that Jack Rhoads was arrested around 11:30 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of public intoxication.

Ames Police Sergeant Joel Congdon says officers say Ayeni punch another man early Sunday when they were called to break up a scuffle. He is suspected of disorderly conduct.

Carpenter’s 2-run homer in 11th lifts Cards over Reds 7-5

CINCINNATI (AP) – Matt Carpenter hit a two-run homer off Kevin Gregg in the 11th inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals over Cincinnati 7-5 Sunday in a game that featured the major league debut of Cuban right-hander Raisel Iglesias for the Reds.
Carpenter’s 392-foot drive to center on a full-count pitch from Gregg (0-1) followed Kolten Wong’s single.  Carlos Villanueva (1-0) pitched two innings, working out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th by striking out Todd Frazier.

St. Louis took two of three in the series and has won 13 consecutive three-game series against Cincinnati. Iglesias allowed three runs and five hits in five innings with two walks and four strikeouts. Signed last July to a $27 million, seven-year contract, he became the first Reds player since Mike Leake in 2010 to reach the majors without playing a minor league game.

Iowa looks to rebound after 7-6 season

Sports

April 12th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Perhaps the most crucial spring practice session of Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz’s 17-year tenure reached the halfway point Saturday. For the third spring game in a row, the Hawkeyes travelled to West Des Moines, Iowa – just minutes away from the state capitol and about a 30-minute drive from Iowa State’s spring scrimmage on Saturday.

Iowa is coming off a disappointing 7-6 season and must replace key starters on both sides of the ball. The offensive and defensive lines are in flux, and C.J. Beathard has taken over at quarterback for Jake Rudock, who will transfer after losing the starting job. “It’s our ninth practice,” Ferentz said. “Depth is always an issue in spring practice and it’s certainly something we’ll continue to develop.”

Adams homers, spurs Cardinals to 4-1 win over Reds

April 11th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

CINCINNATI (AP) — Matt Adams delivered his first home run of the season and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped the Cincinnati Reds’ season-opening winning streak at four with a 4-1 win on Saturday. Kolten Wong drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, Jhonny Peralta and Yadier Molina added ninth-inning run-scoring singles and Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh inning to get the win in his first appearance of the season.

Wacha (1-0) shook off Todd Frazier’s first-inning home run to go 6 1-3 innings, allowing five hits and one run with a walk and two strikeouts. He stranded a runner in scoring position in each of his last four full innings. The Reds left five runners in scoring position.

Trevor Rosenthal, the Cardinals’ fifth relief pitcher, got the last five outs for his second save.

 

ISU QB Rohach solidifies hold on backup job

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State senior quarterback Sam Richardson has the starting job for 2015 locked up. Grant Rohach solidified his place as Richardson’s backup with a stellar finish to spring practice.

Rohach, who started the final four games two years ago, was 13 of 18 passing for 186 yards Saturday in Iowa State’s spring game. Sophomore Joel Lanning was just 11 of 27 for 125 yards, and he got sacked twice.

Reds stay unbeaten, down Cardinals friday

Sports

April 11th, 2015 by admin

CINCINNATI (AP) – Joey Votto hit a pair of two-run homers – the strongest indication yet that he’s fully back in form – and Todd Frazier had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly on Friday night, keeping the Cincinnati Reds unbeaten with a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Reds are 4-0 for the first time since 2011, when they won their first five games. They’ve won each game in their final at-bat.

Votto homered off John Lackey in each of his first two at-bats. Frazier’s sacrifice fly in the eighth off Jordan Walden (0-1) marked the second time this week that he’s knocked in the deciding run.

J.J. Hoover (2-0) escaped a threat in the eighth. Aroldis Chapman gave up a hit and fanned two in the ninth for his second save.

Votto hit only six homers last season – the last one on May 10 – and didn’t play after July 5 because of strained muscles above his left knee.
