Royals’ Ventura killed in car crash in Dominican Republic

Sports

January 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura, whose electric arm helped his team win the 2015 World Series title, was killed in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic early Sunday. Royals vice president Mike Swanson confirmed Ventura’s death. He was 25.

With the fitting nickname of “Ace,” Ventura burst onto the baseball scene with a 100 mph fastball and an explosive attitude to match. He was a fierce competitor who was always willing to challenge hitters inside, then deal with the ramifications when they decided to charge the mound.

Ventura went 14-10 with a 3.20 ERA in 2014, his first full season in the big leagues, and helped the long-downtrodden Royals reach the World Series for the first time since 1985. He proceeded to dominate San Francisco in both of his starts, though the Royals would ultimately lose in seven games.

He followed by helping Kansas City win the championship the next year.

News, Sports

January 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

The Des Moines Register, Saturday, announced the route for this year’s RAGBRAI trek. The Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) will start July 23rd in Orange City and end July 29th in Lansing. Overnight towns during the ride include Spencer, Algona, Clear Lake, Charles City, Cresco, Waukon and Lansing. The full route for RAGBRAI 45 will be announced sometime in March.
The annual even attracts thousands from riders from across the world and country to roll through the countryside of the Hawkeye State. Last summer, RAGBRAI took a southern route through the Hawkeye state.  It rolled from Glenwood to Washington over it’s seven day ride.

Total mileage for RAGRAI 45 amounts to  411.4, the third-shortest of RAGBRAI’s 45 journeys. It’ll also be the third-flattest of the trips, with a total feet of climb amounting to 13,078 feet. This year’s route is rated the third-easiest RAGBRAI by combination of distance and climb. The ride started in Sioux City back in 2015 with riders dipping their tires in the Missouri River.

IA Hawkeye women defeat MN 80-65, Saturday

Sports

January 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

The University of Iowa women’s basketball team trailed Minnesota by seven points in the first half and 36-35 at halftime before going on a tear resulting in an 80-65 victory Saturday in front of 7,191 on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The Hawkeyes enjoyed a 45-29 run in the second half and grabbed the lead for good when sophomore Megan Gustafson converted a conventional three-point play that put Iowa ahead, 43-41, early in the third quarter. Gustafson scored 11 of her game-high 19 points in the third quarter and registered her 10th double-double of the season before the period ended.

Gustafson made 8-of-13 field goals and all three free throws to pace four Hawkeyes in double figures. Senior Ally Disterhoft scored 17 points, freshman Kathleen Doyle had 11 (10 in the first half), and sophomore Tania Davis added 10. Disterhoft entered the game shooting 15.6-percent from distance in Big Ten games, but she made three of Iowa’s eight 3-point field goals Saturday.

The Hawkeyes committed a season-low 11 turnovers.  Iowa returns to action Sunday, Jan. 29th, against No. 3 Maryland (18-1, 6-0).

Ashton’s free throws help N Iowa top S Illinois 58-57

Sports

January 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Jordan Ashton scored 14 points, including a pair of free throw with 15 seconds left, and Northern Iowa overcame a 12-point second-half deficit to beat Southern Illinois 58-57 on Saturday night.

Ashton scored 10 of his 14 in the second half for Northern Iowa (8-11, 3-5 Missouri Valley) and was perfect from the field (3 of 3), the arc (2 of 2) and the free-throw line (2 of 2) in the final 20 minutes.

Trailing 54-42 with 8:23 remaining, the Panthers outscored Southern Illinois 12-1 over the next seven minutes to close it to 55-54. A dunk by Thik Bol with 1:21 left to play put the Salukis in front by three, 57-54, but a layup from Klint Carlson and Ashton’s free throws gave Northern Iowa a 58-57 lead with 15 seconds left.

Northern Iowa led 27-26 at halftime, but the Salukis used an 11-2 run to take a 36-29 lead with 16:50 remaining and eventually pushed the lead to lead to 12. Armon Fletcher had 16 points and six rebounds for Southern Illinois (11-10, 4-4).
