  • Suspension, injury mar RHS volleyball on the eve of season opener

    Friday, August 16, 2019 12:00 AM
    One of the top players on the Rochester volleyball team is suspended, and another might be facing a serious injury before their first match of the season.

    Coach Erin Leap revealed after Thursday’s scrimmage against Northwestern that first-team all-Three Rivers Conference outside hitter Christina Towne will miss the first 25 percent – in volleyball terms, the first seven matches – of the season due to suspension. Leap said the suspension was due to “disciplinary reasons from the end of the school year last year” but did not specify further.

    Johnson, who described his physique as “pudgy” and “chunky” at that age, said he didn’t like the idea of playing on the line, so he listed wide receiver, tight end and quarterback.

    What they could use, though, is a little more blocking, according to coach Erin Leap.

    And with all that free time, here are some questions that have popped up for the fall. I kept it at one question per sport.

  • Darvish pitches Cubs past Brewers

    Monday, August 5, 2019 12:00 AM
    Cubs 7, Brewers 2

    CHICAGO (AP) — After a frustrating start with the Chicago Cubs, Yu Darvish is starting to live up to his big free-agent contract.

    Darvish pitched five effective innings, Jason Heyward drove in three runs and the Cubs beat the slumping Milwaukee Brewers 7-2 on Sunday to sweep their weekend series.

    Heyward and Kyle Schwarber homered as the NL Central leaders won for the 11th time in 13 games at Wrigley Field. Anthony Rizzo collected four hits.

    Darvish, who turns 33 on Aug. 16, signed a $126 million, six-year contract with Chicago in February 2018, but struggled with injuries and confidence for much of his first year with the Cubs and the start of this season.

  • Beat the clock: Cubs acquire Castellanos with 42 seconds to spare

    Thursday, August 1, 2019 12:00 AM
    DETROIT (AP) — With about a minute to spare, Nicholas Castellanos was traded from the last-place Detroit Tigers to the contending Chicago Cubs.

    “I was sitting in the dugout and I looked up and saw the clock said 1:02. So I was like, ‘OK, finish the season strong,’” Castellanos said. “And then ...”

    The Tigers sent Castellanos to Chicago for two minor league pitchers in a deal that gives the Cubs a powerful bat against left-handed pitching. Detroit general manager Al Avila said the trade came down to the last 42 seconds before Wednesday’s deadline, which was 4 p.m. EDT and 1 p.m. in California, where the Tigers were playing the Los Angeles Angels.
