CLEVELAND (AP) — Miguel Sanó hit a two-run homer and Nelson Cruz connected for a solo shot to lead the injury-riddled Minnesota Twins to a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a three-game series between the AL Central’s top teams. Sanó homered in the sixth inning off Aaron Civale (3-3) as the Twins hit the halfway point of this 60-game season in first _ just where they ended 2019. Minnesota stopped Cleveland’s three-year reign atop the division last year. The Twins, who have several regulars and two starting pitchers on the injured list, lead the Indians by 2 1/2 games.

 

 

IOWA CITY — Iowa athletic director Gary Barta says there was a vote by the Big Ten presidents and chancellors on August 11 to cancel the fall football season. The league made the move less than a week after releasing a revised schedule.

Barta says ADs were not part of the meeting to cancel.

Barta admits it will be difficult to watch if the remaining FBS conferences are able to play a full season.

With a projected 100 million dollar loss, Iowa cut four sports last week: men’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving as well as men’s tennis.

Barta says the cuts will save the department about five million dollars per year. They are also working on a plan to cover an expected deficit of between 60 and 75 million dollars.

 

 

BELMOND — Following a summer without baseball and softball, the Belmond-Klemme football team will have to wait a little longer to open the season. The school district has suspended the season after some players tested positive for COVID-19. Broncos coach Darwin Christensen says the team has been working hard to get in shape after missing so much time.

The Broncos will miss at least the first week of the season. They were set to play West Fork in their season opener Friday night.

Belmond-Klemme is now scheduled to play Lake Mills in a week two game that has been moved from Friday night September 4th to Saturday afternoon September 5th.
