BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have signed shortstop Deven Marrero, their first-round pick in this month’s draft. The team also announced on Wednesday the signings of right-hander Justin Haley, its sixth-round choice, and center fielder Iseha Conklin, a 19th-round selection. Marrero, signed to a bonus of $2.05 million, was the 24th overall pick of the draft and will be assigned to short-season Single-A Lowell. In three seasons at Arizona State, he batted .325 with 12 homers, 95 RBIs and 32 stolen bases in 150 games. Haley was 8-4 with a 3.08 ERA in two seasons with Fresno State. Conklin batted .393 this year as a freshman at Iowa Western Community College. The Red Sox have signed nine of their first 11 picks and a total of 14.
Congratulations to the Atlantic girls track team. The average GPA for the second semester was 3.29. This qualifies the 26 team members for “Academic All-State” honors as a team. Team members Taylor Barry, Marissa Berns, Paige Kennon, Melanie Nielsen, Makenzie Holmes, Kristin Johnk, Erin Shannon and Brienna Steffens helped the effort by earning perfect 4.0 grade points.
Paige Kennon received the prestigious individual “Academic All-State” award. In order to win this award you have to have a cumulative grade point of 3.8, an ACT score of 28 and must have participated in the state track meet.
Congratulations also to the seven members who received Hawkeye 10 “Academic All-Conference” awards. They include Paige Kennon, Taylor Barry, Ali Krogman, Melanie Nielsen, Marissa Berns, Sam Petersen and Sam McConnell.

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Verlander (7-4) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced and worked out of a seventh-inning jam to help Detroit hold on. He struck out Allen Craig with the bases loaded with his final pitch. Verlander allowed five hits and walked four, striking out only three. Joaquin Benoit worked the eighth, and Phil Coke pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the year. Lance Lynn (10-3) allowed five runs and nine hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked two. Austin Jackson hit a two-run double for the Tigers, part of their three-run second inning.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Scott Sitz gave up five hits and struck out eight in a season-high 6 2-3 innings, and Florida State eliminated UCLA from the College World Series with a 4-1 victory Tuesday night. Florida State (50-16) plays Arizona on Thursday, needing to beat the Wildcats twice to reach the championship round. No. 2 national seed UCLA (48-16) was knocked out a day after No. 1 Florida was eliminated from the opposite bracket. Sitz (4-3) had not made it through five innings in six of his previous seven outings. The junior held the Bruins to two singles through five innings and struck out the side in the sixth after UCLA loaded the bases. UCLA starter Zack Weiss (3-3) was pulled after getting just one out. Bases-loaded walks in the opening inning produced the Seminoles’ first two runs.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Florida State coach Mike Martin suspended infielder John Holland indefinitely Tuesday after the freshman was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at an Omaha sporting goods store. The suspension was announced a few hours before the Seminoles faced UCLA in the College World Series. Holland was the Seminoles’ designated hitter in their first two CWS games. The infielder was batting .243 for the season, and appeared in 41 games, 16 as a starter. Martin said that Holland “made a serious error in judgment.” The coach said the university would have no further comment. Omaha police said security at the Scheels store spotted the 19-year-old Holland and 23-year-old Steve Holland about 4:20 p.m. Monday changing the price tag on merchandise. The two attempted to purchase the items for the lower price. It was unknown if or how the Hollands were related. The men were booked for shoplifting and released after posting bond.
