The Atlantic Softball team gets to play in the State Tournament for the first time in the program’s 44 year history after a 2-1 win over Kuemper Catholic in Carroll on Monday night.

The Trojans got another strong performance from Ally Anderson in the pitching circle allowing just the 1 run on 6 hits with no walks and two strikeouts.  Head Coach Terry Hinzman said they dodged a few bullets throughout the night with runners on base but that was a credit to Ally placing her pitches well in the tough moments and the team playing good defense.  The teams traded runs in the second inning and Atlantic got the winning run in the bottom of the 6th.  With two youngsters on base Junior Gabby Jordahl stepped up and put a ball in play that forced Kuemper to attempt a double play that didn’t work out and allowed McKenzie Waters to cross the plate for what turned out to be the winner.  Ally Anderson took down the first three batters in the 7th to seal the win.

8th year Head Coach Hinzmann said it was a big win for the team and the program. He said it’s a credit to everyone that has contributed to the program over the years and he’s looking forward to see what they can do at State.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A new Web.com Tour event has been scheduled for next year in Omaha, Nebraska. The PGA and Pinnacle Bank announced Monday that the Pinnacle Bank Championship will be played the week of July 17-23 at The Club at Indian Creek. The purse will be $600,000.

The parties say their five-year sponsorship agreement runs through the 2021 season. The PGA Tour didn’t renew its contract with the Omaha Community Service Foundation after the 2013 Cox Classic, ending an 18-year tour run in Omaha.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Petco Park in San Diego hosts the 87th All-Star Game tonight, with White Sox ace Chris Sale (14-3) starting for the American League against Giants righty Johnny Cueto (13-1). The AL has won three in a row, but the National League leads 43-41 overall with two ties. Anthony Rizzo and a lot of Cubs take on David Ortiz and a bunch of Red Sox, and the league that wins gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

Tonight’s starting lineup for manager Ned Yost will include a pair of Royals — first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez. Pitchers Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis also made the squad, although Davis is inactive for the game. From St. Louis, Matt Carpenter and Aledmys Diz are on the National League squad with Carpenter inactive.
