CINCINNATI (AP) – Chris Heisey’s single in the bottom of the ninth inning ended Cincinnati’s record scoreless streak to open a season and sent the Reds to a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night following a long rain delay. The Reds set a modern franchise record by failing to score in the first 17 innings of the season. Their previous worst was 13 scoreless innings in 1909 and 1934.

Ryan Ludwick and Todd Frazier opened the ninth with singles off Carlos Martinez. After a sacrifice, Brayan Pena was walked to load the bases and the pinch-hitting Heisey singled up the middle. The Reds were the last team in the majors to score a run this season. Heisey’s hit broke an 0 for 11 slump with runners in scoring position.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Drake Relays director Brian Brown says Lolo Jones will run the shuttle hurdle relay rather than the 100-meter hurdles at her hometown meet later this month. Jones, a Des Moines native and a two-time Olympic hurdler, competed for the U.S. in the bobsled at the recent Sochi Olympics.

Jones has long been the face of the meet, which is set for April 23-27. Jones has failed to win the 100 hurdles at Drake in her last four tries, and she said after last year’s loss that the Drake Relays had become work than fun.

Meet officials are leaving the door open for Jones to run the 100 as well as shuttle relay.

ATLANTA – Iowa State senior Hallie Christofferson was recognized as an honorable mention All-American for the second-straight year by The Associated Press.

Christofferson joins Chelsea Poppens, Stacy Frese and Angie Welle as the only Cyclones to earn multiple All-America honors.

Christofferson, a forward from Hamlin, Iowa, had another breakout season for the Cyclones, leading the team in scoring with 18.4 points per game. She also averaged 7.2 rebounds while shooting 46.1 percent from the field. Christofferson is also among the top free throw shooters in the country at 87.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Christofferson scored in double figures in 29 of Iowa State’s 31 games, including 16 games with 20 or more points. She posted eight double-doubles and shot better than 50 percent from the field in 14 games en route to being named to the All-Big 12 First Team.

Atlantic’s Bailey Walter has signed to play golf and volleyball at North Iowa Area Community College in Mason City.  Last season in volleyball, Bailey led Atlantic with 242 assists, 3.23 per game.  In golf last year, Bailey had a nine hole average of 45.8 and an 18 hole average of 91.6.  She helped Atlantic to a sixth place finish at the 2013 Class 3-A state golf tournament.  Bailey shot a round of 103 and placed 38th overall.  She will begin her senior golf season this month.
