Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Atlanta Braves are promising to continue their dialogue with the Native American community in the wake of Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley’s criticism of the Tomahawk Chop chant. Helsley told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he thinks the chant is insulting, and the 25-year-old rookie was disappointed when it was heard during Game 1 of the NL Division Series against Atlanta.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Zach Charbonnet ran for a 2-yard touchdown to give No. 19 Michigan an early double-digit lead and its defense did the rest against No. 14 Iowa, forcing four turnovers and tallying eight sacks in a 10-3 win Saturday. The Wolverines scored just three points off the Hawkeyes’ turnovers. Iowa failed to take advantage of favorable field position on its final two drives with a chance to extend the game or possibly win it with a touchdown and 2-point conversion.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Brock Purdy threw for 247 yards and a pair of TDs and Iowa State overwhelmed TCU 49-24 for its first Big 12 win of the season. Purdy also ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns for the Cyclones (3-2, 1-1 Big 12), who beat the Horned Frogs for just the third time in 11 tries.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lane McCallum kicked a 24-yard field goal as time ran out to give Nebraska a 13-10 win in yet another close game against Northwestern. The Cornhuskers won in a slog after Lamar Jackson intercepted Aidan Smith to set up the winning drive. The Huskers are 5-4 against Northwestern since joining the Big Ten in 2011. A total of 24 points separates the teams over the nine games. The previous two games went to overtime, and seven of the nine meetings have been decided by one score.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Jalen Hurts threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 56 yards and two more TDs in leading No. 6 Oklahoma to a 45-20 rout of Kansas. Rhamondre Stevenson added 109 yards rushing and a score on just five carries for the Sooners, who spotted Kansas a touchdown lead before ripping off seven straight scores. Up next for Oklahoma is the Red River Showdown with No. 11 Texas.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Charlie Brewer threw for 230 yards and a touchdown and Baylor beat Kansas State 31-12 to remain undefeated. The Bears had 426 yards of offense with only 23 minutes of possession against the Wildcats, who have scored only two touchdowns in their last two games.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Kelly Bryant’s last throw of the game was a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Knox late in the first half of Missouri’s 42-10 victory over Troy. The Tigers hope it isn’t the last pass of Bryant’s college career. After he released the throw, Bryant was hit low from behind by Troy defensive tackle Travis Sailo and immediately clutched his left knee.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Sammy Blais had a goal and an assist and his score midway through the third period was the winner as the St. Louis Blues beat the Dallas Stars 3-2.
