Cardinals hit 3 homers in 9th, top Pirates 9-7

September 7th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Matt Carpenter, Randal Grichuk and Jhonny Peralta all homered off closer Tony Watson with two outs in the ninth inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals rally past the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-7 on Tuesday night. The Cardinals were down to their last strike when Carpenter sent a long drive to right-center to tie it 6-6. Grichuk followed two batters later with a two-run shot off Watson (2-4), and Peralta piled on with a solo homer as St. Louis held on to the second wild card in the NL.

Carpenter’s homer was the 15th by a St. Louis pinch-hitter this season, a major league record. Yadier Molina went 4 for 5, including a first-inning grand slam. Mike Mayers (1-1) tossed a scoreless eighth for the win, and Seung-Hwan Oh worked around a solo homer to Jung Ho Kang in the ninth for his 16th save.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police say a Sioux City man attacked his girlfriend with a hammer because she refused to let him tattoo his name on her chest. The Sioux City Journal reports that 28-year-old Jonathan Michael Boggs has been charged with aggravated domestic assault and going armed with intent. He was being held Tuesday in the Woodbury County Jail on $10,000 bond and could not be reached for comment.

Police say Boggs wanted the woman, whom he had been dating for about a month, to let him tattoo his name on her chest Friday. When she refused, an argument ensued, and she attempted several times to leave the house. Police say Boggs kept her from leaving and threatened to kill her with a hammer. He later hit her with the hammer.

News

September 6th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

A motorcycle test drive Friday afternoon didn’t go as planned. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office says 51-year old Edward Dole, of Omaha, was test driving a 2014 Harley Davidson motorcycle at the Loess Hills Harley Davidson dealership, when he struck a metal barrier on the property as he was about to enter 190th Street. The cycle fell over onto Dole, causing minor injuries that did not require transport to the hospital.

An accident at around 7:10-p.m. on August 31st, however resulted in one person transported to Mercy Hospital by Glenwood Rescue. Authorities say 21-year old Shannon Perkins, of Red Oak, was injured in a collision between a 2015 Chevy and the 1996 Jeep she was a passenger in.

Officials say the Chevy, driven by 60-year old Kenneth Morris, of Norman, AR., was westbound on Highway 34 after exiting I-29 southbound. The vehicle continued in the outside (North lane). The 20-year old driver of the Jeep moved his vehicle to the inside lane in an attempt to allow the Chevy to enter the highway. When Morris began to make a left turn onto 188th Street to turn around and go eastbound on Highway 34, he didn’t see the approaching Jeep. The Jeep collided with the Chevy as the Chevy crossed into the lane occupied by the Jeep.

Morris was cited for making an Unsafe Turn.
