Local Sports Update – Wed Sept 24

Last night in local high school volleyball:

Bellevue takes down Anamosa in a back and forth 5 set match 

Marquette Catholic falls to Prince of Peace 3 sets to 0

Central DeWitt is swept in 3 sets by North Scott

Calamus-Wheatland sweeps Easton Valley in 3 sets 

Midland is swept by Lisbon 

The Maquoketa Cardinals fall just short of their first win of the season last night in a crazy and long 5-set match against Northeast, that the Rebels hang on to win 3 sets to 2. Senior Hadley Ihrig led the Cardinals with an impressive 20 kills on the night. Northeast junior Jordan Tegeler led the Rebels with 16 of her own.

	1	2	3	4	5	T
Northeast	26	29	18	25	15	3
Maquoketa	28	27	25	20	11	2

Last night the St. Louis Cardinals came all the way back from down 8-3 to win the game 9-8 against the San Francisco Giants. Alec Burleson hit the go-ahead RBI single in the 9th inning, after Brendan Donovan’s tied-MLB record 4th double of the night tied the game a few batters prior. The Cards will wrap up their series in the Bay Area tonight, and try to secure the 3-0 sweep. It’s another late one as pregame coverage won’t begin until 7:50 on KMAQ.
