Lind’s 3-run homer gives Mariners 4-3 win over Cardinals

Sports

June 25th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

SEATTLE (AP) – Adam Lind hit a game-winning three-run home run in the ninth inning off St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal, and the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday night to snap a six-game losing streak.

The Mariners opened the ninth with a double by Kyle Seager and a walk to Dae-Ho Lee. Lind reached down and drove a 1-1 pitch out to right field for his fourth career walk-off home run. It was the third home run allowed this season by Rosenthal (2-3) and his third blown save.

St. Louis had scored three times in the eighth inning without the help of a base hit. Seattle reliever Joaquin Benoit issued three walks and a hit batter and Kyle Seager’s error on Matt Holliday’s hard ground ball allowed two runs to score.

Beckwith (14-1), who pitched the first complete game of his career in a 2-1 win over No. 1 national seed Florida last Sunday, scattered six hits, walked one and struck out five in a 137-pitch outing.The Chanticleers (52-17) scored twice off Mitchell Traver (1-3) in the third inning, on Anthony Marks’ squeeze bunt single and a sacrifice fly. They added two runs in the seventh on a sacrifice fly and David Parrett’s ground-rule double.
 
Beckwith retired 13 straight batters over one stretch and held the Horned Frogs (49-17) scoreless until Dane Steinhagen homered with one out in the eighth. Steinhagen was 1 for 10 in the CWS before launching his shot to left.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nathan Bannister and two relievers pitched a four-hitter, Arizona had 14 hits against what had been the best pitching staff in the NCAA Tournament, and the Wildcats beat Oklahoma State 9-3 at the College World Series on Friday. The Wildcats forced a Saturday rematch, with the winner advancing to the best-of-three finals beginning Monday.

JJ Matijevic and Zach Gibbons had three hits apiece to lead Arizona (46-23). The Wildcats took a 1-0 lead in the first on Matijevic’s RBI single, marking the first time the Cowboys (43-21) have trailed in the national tournament.

Court backs school’s search of Iowa student’s football bag

June 24th, 2016 by admin

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa Supreme Court is upholding the search of a high school football player’s equipment bag that uncovered a loaded handgun and drugs. The court ruled Friday that Dunkerton High School officials had grounds to search Mar’yo Lindsey Jr.’s bag in 2013, rejecting arguments that it violated his constitutional rights.

The case arose when Lindsey got injured on the field during a road game. Before going to the hospital, Lindsey told school officials to make sure that a specific student got his bag and that nobody else should take it.

That raised their suspicions. The superintendent later searched the bag after putting it on the floor and hearing a “clunk” that he believed was a gun. He found marijuana and a loaded long-barreled handgun in a backpack inside the bag.

Former Cyclones Niang, Nader selected in NBA Draft

Two former Iowa State Basketball players had their names called at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn, New York Thursday night.  All-American and Karl Malone Award Winner Georges Niang was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the second round with the No. 50 pick.

Niang concluded his career as Iowa State’s second all-time leading scorer (2,228) and was just the fourth Division I college basketball player since 1994-95 to accumulate 2,000 points, 700 rebounds and 400 assists in a career. He averaged 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists as a senior, becoming a consensus All-American and taking home the Karl Malone Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top power forward.

The other Cyclone selected was Forward Abdel Nader who was selected by the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA Draft with the No. 58 pick.

Nader, a Skokie, Illinois native increased his scoring from 5.8 points as a junior to 12.9 points in his final season.  He shot a career high 48.7 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from 3-point range. Nader earned All-Big 12 honorable mention accolades as a senior after scoring in double figures 22 times in 2015-16. He posted seven games with 20 or more points, including a season and career-high 26 points at Baylor.

This marks the 7th time that Iowa State has had multiple players selected in the same draft.
