ST. LOUIS (AP) — In a most sticky situation, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina couldn’t find a ball that clung to his chest protector and the Chicago Cubs turned the bizarre play into a late rally, beating St. Louis 6-4 Thursday.
The Cardinals led 4-2 in the seventh inning when things became crazy at Busch Stadium.
Pinch hitter Matt Szczur led off by striking out on a pitch from Brett Cecil that skipped in the dirt. The ball bounced into Molina’s protector and appeared to get trapped by a sticky substance.
Molina kept looking around for the ball, and only found it once Szczur was at first base. The Gold Glove catcher gave a bemused look and smiled.
The Cubs capitalized when a walk set up Kyle Schwarber’s go-ahead home run.

Multiple reports throughout the past week have indicated that Wichita State is expected to leave the Missouri Valley Conference and join the American Athletic Conference. The Shockers would be joining the AAC as a basketball only member and the move is expected to happen before next season.
The AAC currently has 12 football members but only 11 basketball members, so the move would make sense for the AAC to add a basketball only member.
It also has been reported that MVC conference Athletic Directors and Presidents will hold an emergency meeting on Sunday in St. Louis to discuss the possible departure of Wichita State. It’s also expected the meeting will involve discussion of potential expansion partners for the MVC.
Wichita State has been a member of the MVC since 1945.
ST. LOUIS, MO April 5, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that their game against the Chicago Cubs this afternoon has been postponed due to the severe weather forecasted for this afternoon and night.

Our broadcast time on KJAN will be moved to the same time tomorrow as was scheduled today, 11:50am.
