Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — JT Riddle hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning, Zac Gallen was effective in his major league debut and the Miami Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6. Brian Anderson also went deep and drove in two runs for the Marlins, who earned a split of the four-game series.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Gordon had a two-run single and Lucas Duda added an RBI single as the Kansas City Royals jumped on Jake Odorizzi in the first inning and beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1. Glenn Sparkman gave up just one run and five hits in a season high-tying seven innings. Duda, had two hits and scored a run to help the Royals win for the fourth time in five games. Odorizzi came in tied with Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito for the major league lead with 10 wins, but lasted just four innings.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers chose Iowa State’s Talen Horton-Tucker with the 46th overall pick. They also chose Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter with the fourth overall pick, but Los Angeles made that pick on behalf of the Hawks. It’s all part of the yet-to-be-announced trade that will bring Anthony Davis to Los Angeles next month.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Craig Kimbrel says there is no timetable for when he will join the Chicago Cubs. He says it will happen when his body is ready for it. Kimbrel signed a three-year, $43 million deal with Chicago earlier this month after helping Boston win the World Series in 2018. He joined Triple-A Iowa this week before his expected promotion to take over the closer’s role with Chicago.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Drew Campbell’s single off Cole Gordon drove in Danny Oriente for the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning and Louisville eliminated Mississippi State with a 4-3 victory in the College World Series. The Cardinals made up a three-run deficit to advance past a third game at the CWS for the first time in its five appearances.

Iowa fires volleyball coach, cooperating with NCAA

Sports

June 20th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa fired volleyball coach Bond Shymansky on Wednesday, saying an independent investigation by an outside law firm determined he committed a major NCAA rules violation. Iowa said Shymansky intentionally provided an impermissible benefit to a prospect who went on to compete for the Hawkeyes. Iowa reported the violation to the NCAA and said it is cooperating. The NCAA has asked Iowa not to comment further until it releases its findings.

“We take NCAA violations very seriously, and have acted in a fair and decisive manner,” Iowa athletic director Gary Barta said. “We will continue to work with the NCAA in regard to our self-report to reach a conclusion in this matter as swiftly as possible.”

Barta announced that Vicki Brown, who was named interim head coach last month, will remain in that role next season. Shymansky went 78-83 in five seasons at Iowa.
