WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa piled its team onto five busses and trekked halfway across the state Sunday, giving its fans in the Des Moines area a sneak peek at the 2013 Hawkeyes. The crowd at West Des Moines Valley High saw the same thing they’ll likely see at the final spring practice in Iowa City in two weeks.
The Hawkeyes have three quarterbacks competing for the vacant starting job, but Jake Rudock, Cody Sokol and C.J. Beathard have yet to separate themselves. Coach Kirk Ferentz says that Rudock has the best handle on things because he was James Vandenberg’s backup in 2012. But Ferentz says it’s too early to predict who’ll be the starter this fall.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jonathan Lucroy hit a solo home run in the 10th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 Sunday and avoided a sweep at Busch Stadium. The Brewers trailed 3-0 when Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer off reliever Trevor Rosenthal with no outs in the eighth.
Braun’s second home run of the season snapped a 39-inning shutout streak for St. Louis pitchers. It also broke a club-record 32-inning scoreless string for the Brewers, who had not scored since the second inning Tuesday against the Cubs.
Milwaukee tied it in the ninth on a leadoff single by Carlos Gomez and an RBI double by Yuniesky Betancourt off Mitchell Boggs.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Adam Wainwright threw a four-hitter and drove in two runs with three hits, two in a seven-run sixth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals shut out the Milwaukee Brewers for the second straight game with a 8-0 victory on Saturday. Milwaukee ace Yovani Gallardo (0-1) endured yet another setback against his nemesis, falling to 1-10 with a 6.83 ERA against St. Louis after getting charged with five earned runs in 5 1-3 innings. Gallardo, a 16-game winner coming off his fourth consecutive 200-strikeout season, was 0-2 with a 12.34 ERA in three starts against St. Louis last season.
The Cardinals have outscored their opponents 23-1 the last three games and are 4-1 on their opening homestand heading into the finale Sunday. The Brewers, minus injured sluggers Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez, haven’t scored in 25 straight innings and are 1-8 since winning opening day.
AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson is nearly finished with his first spring as the Cyclones starter. A new role and a new system haven’t slowed down the sophomore. Richardson earned high praise yet again Saturday from Iowa State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham for his work in spring ball.
Both Messingham and Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads say they’re pleased with what they’ve seen so far out of Richardson, who took over the starting job at the end of last season and entered the spring atop a thin depth chart. Messingham says Richardson is a smart quarterback who’s shown he can operate schemes under heavy pressure.
Monday is the deadline for anyone interested in riding in this year’s 5th Annual Tour de Tivoli bike ride, that takes place May 26th, as part of TivoliFest.
This year’s ride is being held in memory of Cheryl Swearingen, co-creator of the event. It features 26 and 50-mile loops. Both loops begin at 9-a.m., with riders heading north out of Elk Horn on Main Street, then west on County Road F-58. Riders on both loops will then travel on M-47, with a stop at Prairie Rose State Park if necessary, before continuing onto Highway 44 enroute to Kimballton, where there will be another break offered at the Little Mermaid.
From there, riders have the option to split-up to complete a 26-mile leg, which takes them on Highway 173 back to Elk Horn, or a 50-mile route that continues east on Highway 44 to Hamlin, with a stop at the T-Bone Trail head, before proceeding south on the trail to Exira. After another brief rest, riders on the 50-mile leg will proceed west to Elk Horn on F-58/Littlefield Drive. Danish flags will mark the entire route.
Anyone who registers for the event by April 15th, has an opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind classy, bike jersey featuring the 2013 Tivoli Fest logo and theme, and, on the back, a picture of Cheryl Swearingen. The cost prior to the ride is $65 each. Early registration costs $35, and includes a Tour de Tivoli t-shirt, SAG stations/refreshments, chances to win door prizes, a meal or post-ride meal, and free “Music at the Mill” entertainment.
