LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Kemp hit a go-ahead home run leading off the eighth inning, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers over the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Saturday night and evening their NL Division Series at a game apiece. Kemp practically skipped down the first base line, appearing to coax the ball fair as it sailed inside the foul pole and into the lower left field seats while the crowd of 54,599 erupted in cheers. Bubbles percolated into the hot night air from a machine in the dugout that the Dodgers turn on to celebrate homers.
No one looked happier greeting Kemp in the dugout than J.P. Howell, who had served up a tying, two-run homer to Matt Carpenter in the top of the inning after relieving Zack Greinke. Kemp hugged Howell after connecting off Pat Neshek.
Game 3 is Monday night in St. Louis, with John Lackey starting for the Cardinals against Hyun-Jin Ryu.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A freeze could stop the growing season in the upper Midwest as far south as Nebraska and Iowa, leaving farmers in a difficult situation because much of the region’s corn and soybean fields are not quite ready for harvest. The area of most concern includes the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where just 40 percent to 50 percent of the corn crop is mature.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Hundreds of people turned out for a memorial service to remember an Iowa State University student from China whose body was found on September 27th in the trunk of her car.

The memorial service was held by the Chinese Students and Scholars Association.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police say a man suspected of shooting a Sioux City officer is in an Omaha, Nebraska hospital after turning a gun on himself. The Sioux City Journal reports that the incident began late Friday afternoon when police officers were called to a Sioux City house. Officer Jill Ohm was the first to arrive. Police say she struggled with the 27-year-old suspect before the man wounded her in the chin.
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A 29-year-old Davenport man has been charged with second-degree murder. The Quad-City Times reports that Devyn Fix was charged Friday for the September 26th shooting death of 18-year-old Thomas Taylor.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) – Wide receiver Chris O’Leary threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Gary Owens on a trick play with 2:12 remaining and Indiana State held off Northern Iowa 20-19 in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both teams Saturday.
The Sycamores (4-1, 1-0) led 14-0 early, but gave up 19 straight points before breaking the drought on Owens’ score. Mike Perish’s pass was intercepted on the two-point try. Sawyer Kollmorgen drove Northern Iowa (2-3, 0-1) down to the Sycamore 36, but Michael Schmadeke’s 53-yard field goal attempt was short. Buck Logan and Perish each had first-quarter rushing touchdowns for Indiana State. Owens had six receptions for 79 yards.
Kollmorgen had a 5-yard touchdown run and Schmadeke kicked four field goals with a long of 48 yards. Schmadeke’s 30-yarder gave Northern Iowa its first lead and a 31-yarder made it 19-14 with 14:48 left.
David Johnson had 127 yards rushing for the Panthers.
Keith Kerkhoff, co-owner and Templeton Rye recipe-holder of Templeton, Iowa-based Templeton Rye Spirits, LLC, responded today (Saturday)to allegations made in lawsuits filed in Chicago. On the company’s social media site, Kerhoff said “The unfortunate and misguided lawsuits have been turned over to our lawyers. The claims made in these lawsuits are false and damaging to our company.”
He went on to say “Templeton Rye is a unique, award-winning whiskey based on the Prohibition Era Kerkhoff recipe. We have a distilling partner in Indiana and flavor engineer in Kentucky who supply ingredients but Templeton Rye is made in Templeton, Iowa. They supply flour and eggs and we bake the cake.”
Kerkhoff said “We have never hidden the fact that we have a distilling partner in Indiana. We don’t think folks buy Templeton based on where it might be distilled. We think they buy our product because it is a great tasting whiskey with a unique story at a fair price. We are a small Iowa company trying to do great things in our community and our state. It is a shame that we are being attacked with this frivolous lawsuit from a Chicago law firm.”
Last Tuesday,the Iowa attorney general’s office said a lawsuit alleging whiskey maker Templeton Rye misled consumers can proceed. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in Illinois by a Chicago law firm on behalf of consumers in the country who have purchased a Templeton Rye bottle. It claims the company broke consumer protection laws and misled drinkers about where the whiskey is made. The newspaper reports a second Chicago law firm plans to file a class-action lawsuit.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard went on a 2 1/2-minute tirade about a call that he believes turned the game in the Cyclones’ 37-20 loss to No. 21 Oklahoma State on Saturday. With the score tied at 6-all late in the second quarter, the officials ruled Oklahoma State’s Desmond Roland was stopped just short of the goal line as time expired in the first half. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, giving the Cowboys a 13-6 lead.
Pollard said it was the latest in a string of bad calls against the Cyclones in recent years. He said some Iowa State players acted inappropriately after the call, and he didn’t fault them, saying such calls end “careers for football coaches, ADs and presidents, so something’s got to be done.”
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Ulysses Bryant rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yarder late in the fourth quarter, and the Jacksonville defense forced four turnovers to lead the Dolphins to a 29-14 victory over Drake on Saturday. Kade Bell had 259 yards passing and one touchdown for Jacksonville (4-1, 2-0 Pioneer).
Drake (2-3, 1-1) pulled within 22-14 with 8:52 left in the fourth quarter on a Conley Wilkins short TD run, but gave up the long TD run by Bryant with 2:30 left in the game. Drake trailed by just three at halftime, but four turnovers on four consecutive possessions, including three interceptions by quarterback Andy Rice.
Rice finished with 264 yards passing and one touchdown, a 5-yarder to Eric Saubert in the first quarter, to lead Drake. Saubert had four catches for 79 yards. The win was the fourth straight for Jacksonville, which snapped a three game losing skid to Drake.
