October 19th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Carlos Hyde ran for 149 yards, including 106 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, to lead No. 4 Ohio State to a 34-24 victory over Iowa on Saturday. It was the Buckeyes’ 19th consecutive victory, the most in the nation and tying the second-best streak in school history. But it didn’t come easy.

The Hawkeyes (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) dominated offensively in the first half and led 21-14 at the break behind the passing of Jake Rudock and running of Mark Weisman and Damon Bullock. Hyde tied it with the first rushing TD against Iowa this season on Ohio State’s first drive of the third quarter, and the Buckeyes took over.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Officials say a Sloan police officer who crashed his squad car in Sioux City while trying to pull over a suspected drunken driver did not act improperly. Sloan Mayor Charles Thorpe tells the Sioux City Journal that Police Officer Brent Vander Weil will not face discipline, and the city will cover the damages.

Officials say the 45-year-old Vander Weil was responding to a Woodbury County 911 broadcast of a suspected drunken driver on Interstate 29 because there were no Sioux City police in the area at the time. In the process, he lost control of his patrol car, hit a light pole and flipped. He was partially thrown out of the car, and taken to a hospital with a fractured vertebrae in his neck. He is expected to recover.

Young arms key to Cards’ World Series appearance

October 19th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) – At the trade deadline in July, the Cardinals appeared to be in the market for starting pitching. Instead, St. Louis stood pat and trusted their young arms. That trust paid off – in a trip to the World Series. Led by NLCS MVP Michael Wacha, the group of 20-somethings has formed a core of one of the best staffs in the major leagues.

Wacha outpitched Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw twice in the NLCS, including in a 9-0 win in Game 6 on Friday night. Ace Adam Wainwright says the kid has been so good he wouldn’t be surprised if Wacha was on the mound for Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday at the winner of the ALCS between Boston and Detroit.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Wade Markley threw for 253 yards and rushed for the final touchdown of the game to finalize a 24-14 win for Butler against Drake Saturday. Markley, making his first start of the season, scored on a 4-yard rush to stretch a close 17-14 lead into a two-score game.

Andy Rice threw a touchdown pass midway through the second quarter to tie up the score at 7 for Drake (3-4, 2-2 Pioneer League). Butler responded with a touchdown of its own right before the half and a field goal in the third quarter brought the score to 17-7.

One minute into the fourth quarter, a fumble by Markley was picked up by Brandon Coleman and returned 17 yards for a touchdown and Drake’s final score of the game. Markley’s touchdown pass in the first quarter grabbed an early 7-0 lead for Butler (6-2, 4-0).
