Lakeshore takes Game 1 from Iowa in quarterfinals

Published 1:01 am Friday, May 3, 2024

: Iowa second baseman Reed Dupre finishes off a 1-2-5-4 double play in the fifth inning with runners on second and third. Lakeshore won 7-5 in nine innings in the first game of a nonselect Division II quarterfinal baseball best-of-3 series.

WESTLAKE — The rematch of last year’s nonselect Division II baseball state championship game went extra innings Thursday night as No. 20 Lakeshore beat No. 12 Iowa 7-5 in nine innings.

Game 2 of the best-of-3 quarterfinals series will be Saturday at 11 a.m. If necessary, Game 3 will start at 1:30 p.m.

Mason Maldonado hit a RBI single to left field for the go-ahead run and an error on the same play allowed another run to cross the plate. Reese Sanzone gave Lakeshore plenty of breathing room with a two-run triple.

Iowa (20-12) attempted a two-out comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning and cut Lakeshore’s (17-19) lead to two on Tyler Dartez’s bases-clearing double, but Mason Gegenheimer induced a ground out to end the game.

Iowa forced extra innings when Reed Dupre hit a one-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh, but the Yellow Jackets left a runner on second and third base.

The Yellow Jackets left a runner on third again in the bottom of the eighth inning. Cole Corbello led off by drawing a base on balls, then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and ground out before Titan starting pitcher Owen Guth got a ground out to end the threat.

Guth pitched eight innings to earn the win before being relieved by Mason Gegenheimer in the ninth inning. He allowed two earned runs on three hits with four strikeouts and five walks.

Dupre took the loss in relief, allowing five runs, three earned, on three hits with two strikeouts and a walk in 1 1/3 innings. Corbello started on the mound for Iowa and allowed one earned run in seven innings with four strikeouts and four walks.

2024 tornado outbreak: Nebraska, Iowa governors push for federal disaster relief

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – The governors of Nebraska and Iowa are asking for federal funds to help residents recover from last Friday’s devastating tornadoes.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds declared a state of emergency for Pottawattamie County hours after a deadly tornado struck Minden, Iowa, severely injuring Nicholas Ring, who died a day later. She later added eight other counties to the declaration: Clarke, Crawford, Harrison, Mills, Polk, Ringgold, Shelby, and Union counties.

On Thursday, Reynolds requested “expedited” relief, urging President Biden to declare a federal disaster for the area, which would release funding for affected counties from the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said Saturday that President Biden had expressed support.

“The federal government is here to help us every single step of the way and we’ll being having declarations soon. So we’ll make sure that we’re helping everybody,” Pillen said then.

“Preliminary cost assessments submitted to FEMA for public infrastructure damage in all counties is $11.5 million. Over $8 million of that is for damage assessed to public infrastructure in Douglas and Washington,” the release states.

Authorities have estimated that nearly 400 homes in Nebraska were impacted by Friday’s tornadoes, including about 160 that were completely destroyed. Pottawattamie County officials have reported that about 300 homes and businesses sustained some sort of damage; 48 homes in Minden were entirely destroyed.

Iowa City community rallies against state law that criminalizes ‘illegal reentry’ into state

Iowa City community rallies against state law that criminalizes ‘illegal reentry’ into state

More than 250 Iowa City community members joined several other gatherings across the state Wednesday, May 1 to rally against a state law that criminalizes “illegal reentry” into Iowa.

The bill, Senate File 2340, passed through the Senate in March and was signed into law in April. It bars anyone who has been previously deported from the United States from entering or attempting to enter the state. It mirrors a Texas law that remains blocked by the courts.

Many people held up signs during the rally in College Green Park, chanting in Spanish and proudly displaying flags from various countries in Central and South America. The demonstrators eventually marched through downtown Iowa City.

Rallies were also held Wednesday night in Davenport, Waterloo and Des Moines.

Supporters encouraged by local turnout

Manny Gálvez said he was happy to see Iowa City’s Latino, Black, and white communities come together during the rally.

“I feel like no matter what the governor says every day, that we are criminals, we are drug dealers,” Gálvez said. “She’s lying. She’s using us.”

The demonstrators marched along major downtown streets as police halted traffic, chanting “Un pueblo unido, jamás será vencido,” which translates to “A people united will never be defeated,” and “Somos familias, no somos criminales,” meaning “We are families, we’re not criminals.”

Hundreds from Iowa City community rally against ‘illegal reentry’ law

Hundreds of members of the Iowa City community rallied together on Wednesday night against a state law criminalizing “illegal reentry” into the state.

Demonstrators held up signs in English and Spanish, reading “No human is illegal,” “Love one another” and “Mas amor,” or “More love.”

One young child held up a sign that read, “I need my family.”

The march brought demonstrators to the Iowa City City Hall, where they received a proclamation from Mayor Bruce Teague.

Teague said he stands in unity with everyone who participated in the protest and said none of the local community members he has talked to “has the same desires” as those in the statehouse.

“We are working because we want a bright future,” Gálvez said. “Not just for today, but for the future of all the children. And what the governor is doing right now is sending this message (about) who has the right to have a future and who doesn’t.”
