MILWAUKEE – Michael Siani hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the 12th inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 on Tuesday night.

Siani came to the plate after a wild pitch by Elvis Peguero (7-4) put runners on second and third. He lined an opposite-field single into left field to give the Cardinals a 6-4 lead.

Siani then stole second and advanced to third on catcher William Contreras’ throwing error, setting up a sacrifice fly by Alec Burleson.

Ryan Helsley (7-4) pitched two innings for the win, striking out four. The All-Star closer was going for his 43rd save before Willy Adames hit a two-out RBI double in the 11th for Milwaukee.

Siani nearly made an outstanding diving catch on Adames’ liner to center, but the ball squirted out of his glove as his right arm got twisted in the outfield grass. The Cardinals challenged the call and the ruling was upheld.

MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) students went to class for the start of school year on Tuesday, Sept. 3. But school resource officers (SRO) did not despite a state requirement. 

“Here we are at the start of the school year and they’re just not there,” said State Sen. John Jagler (R-Watertown).

In 2020, MPS cut its contract for resource officers with the Milwaukee Police Department. Now, the district is nine months behind on a deadline to reinstate those officer. The requirement was tied to Act 12 – a shared revenue bill signed into law in 2023. 

“I don’t think there is anybody fighting that issue. It’s just a matter some logistics,” said Gov. Tony Evers. 

The district was required to hire 25 school resource officers by January. 

Leaders have visited Georgia and Washington, D.C. as part of a plan to redefine the role.

“Our intention is to make sure that we comply because it’s the right thing to do,” said Eduardo Galvan, interim superintendent. 

Galvan could not provide a firm timeline on what SROs will return to MPS schools. 

“It’s a matter of we have to work with the police department, and we have to settle those things,” Galvan said. 

In a statement to FOX6 News, the Milwaukee Police Department said it has been in communication with MPS on fulfilling the school resource officer requirement in a manner that best meets the needs of our community.

“I would like to know why they thought it was OK to drag their feet on this,” Jagler said. 

Jagler said the district is violating the law on the shared revenue agreement. 

“So when do you want to see SROs in MPS schools?” asked FOX6’s Aaron Maybin. 

“In January of 2024, in short of not having a time machine… ASAP,” Jagler replied. 

Caroline Williams agrees. She has grandkids in MPS schools. 

“Because these kids are a little different. You need some help. When they start to get outrageous, you need that backup,” Williams said.

Not everyone is eager to bring police back in the schools. The president of the teacher’s union continues to call on legislators to fund social workers, counselors and other mental health support staff instead of school resource officers.
