Metro Sports Report

Prairie sophomore Gabi Carter had the hot hand and the hot stick Tuesday night against Kennedy. Carter had four doubles and drove in eight runs hitting, and scattered six hits pitching in the nightcap to lead Prairie to a doubleheader sweep of the Cougars, 16-6 and 8-2.

Carter helps Prairie belt Cougars

Tue - 18 Jun Written by Tom Fruehling

Although she was hitting at a .424 clip going into Tuesday night’s twinbill at Kennedy, Prairie sophomore Gabi Carter says she’s been a little disappointed in her season.

“The beginning of the year I was struggling,” she said. “So I sat myself down and re-evaluated.

“I decided I wasn’t going to try to be the big home-run hitter and try to hit everything out. Instead, I just want to hit the ball hard and get on base and move my teammates on.”

Batting in the third spot, she did that and more as she almost single-handedly crushed the Cougars.

Carter clouted three two-run doubles in Prairie's 16-6 win in the opener and came back with another two-run double along with an RBI single in the 8-2 second game victory.

Schulte helps Saints with his arm

Tue - 18 Jun Written by Don Taylor

Reggie Schulte used his brains and talented right arm to help the Xavier Saints reach the championship game of the Class 4A football playoffs last fall as their star quarterback.

Tuesday night, Schulte used his same attributes on the mound to help the Saints defeat Bettendorf, 8-3, at Ken Charipar Field.

Xavier (14-8) has come out of its funk and has begun to put things together with five straight victories. The formula for success has been timely hitting, good pitching and defense.

Breitbach hits for cycle as Saints sweep

Tue - 18 Jun Written by Jim Ecker

When your last name is Breitbach and you play sports at Xavier High School, people know who you are.

That's perfectly okay with Morgan Breitbach, a member of the Xavier softball team and also a member of the Class 4A state championship basketball team this year.

Dick Breitbach Sr., her grandfather and the patriach of Xavier and Regis athletics, sat in the front row behind home plate Tuesday night when the Saints faced Waterloo West in a doubleheader.

Kernels contribute in All-Star Game

Tue - 18 Jun Written by Metro Sports Report

DAYTON, Ohio - Dalton Pompey's two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the East past the West, 6-5, Tuesday night in the Midwest League All-Star Game played before a crowd of 8,746 at Fifth Third Field.

Cedar Rapids Kernels shortstop Niko Goodrum had a two-run single for the West in the top of the ninth to pull it within 5-4. The tying run scored on a wild pitch.

A pair of Kernels contributed to the West's first two runs in the top of the second inning. Adam Brett Walker of the Kernels lined a lead-off single and scored on a double by Kane County's Dan Vogelbach, who later scored on a sacrifice fly by the Kernels' Jorge Polanco.

Kepler joining Kernels; Is Buxton leaving?

Tue - 18 Jun Written by Jim Ecker

Hello, Max Kepler.

Goodbye, Byron Buxton?

Kepler, a German-born outfielder, is scheduled to arrive in Cedar Rapids Wednesday afternoon and join the Kernels when they start the second half of the Midwest League season Thursday night at Wisconsin.

At this point, Kepler will be replacing pitcher Hein Robb on the 25-man roster following Robb's demotion to Elizabethton in the Appalachian League.
