Strong early start propels SDSU in win over DWU
BROOKINGS, S.D. (SDSU)– South Dakota State put together its biggest inning of the season to open the game and starting pitcher Sam Schlecht threw four no-hit, scoreless innings to lead the Jackrabbit baseball team to a 16-4, seven-inning victory over Dakota Wesleyan Wednesday afternoon at Erv Huether Field. With the win, SDSU ended a six-game losing streak to improve to 5-22 overall. DWU dropped to 11-23 on the season. The Jackrabbits struck for seven innings on only two hits in the bottom of the first inning as they sent 11 batters to the plate. SDSU was aided by two Tiger errors, as well as three hit batters, three walks and two wild pitches. Carter Sintek drove in the first run with a single up the middle and Davis Carr capped the outburst with a two-run double to left-center field. SDSU added five runs in the third inning and tacked on four more in the home half of the fourth to firmly put the 10-run rule into effect. Jess Bellows started the third-inning rally with a double before scoring on the back end of a double steal. Luke Luskey plated two with a triple to the fence in left-center field and later came across on a wild pitch. Another run scored on a balk. The four-run fourth featured a two-run single by reserve Jayden Gibson and a two-run triple by Adam Benes. That was more than enough support for Schlecht, who faced the minimum of 12 batters in his outing. The lone baserunner the right-hander allowed to was on a hit batter, who later was erased on the first of two double plays the Jackrabbits turned in the contest. Schlecht struck out four in earning his first win in two seasons at SDSU. DWU scored all four of its runs in the top of the fifth. Tommy Dutton led off with a single and moved to third on a double by Mason Riley. Caleb Myers delivered a two-out, two-run single to put the Tigers on the board, with the other two runs scoring on a passed ball and double by Lane Darrow. In all, Jackrabbit pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts as Matthew Werk notched two in the fifth inning and Dylan Richey tallied four K's over the final two innings, including striking out the side in the seventh to end the game. Bellows was 2-for-2 to pace SDSU's nine-hit effort. DWU's six hits were spread among six different players. Bellows, Bryce Ronken and Sintek each scored twice UP NEXTThe Jackrabbits open a three-game Summit League series with Omaha at 3 p.m. Friday. A ceremony to dedicate the new turf at Erv Huether Field will be held prior to the contest, which will feature free admission and baseball-themed cookies.

News Journal archives week of March 2: students honor shooting victims, gas price $1.67
'Pages of history' features excerpts from The News Journal archives including the Wilmington Morning News and the Evening Journal. See the archives at March 2, 2018, The News Journal Enough, Delaware high school students are saying this month as they organize simultaneous school walkouts to take place at 10 a.m. March 14. Enough to gun violence. Enough to assault weapons. And enough to school shootings like the one that killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida Feb. 14. 'It's our turn to take a stand and change our community,' said Ellen Schlecht, a sophomore at Wilmington's Ursuline Academy. 'Change the way people view us as teenagers. Change the way people see the guns in our world. Change the gun laws within our cities, states and country. But most importantly, we are making sure this never happens again.' Schlecht and students at close to 20 Delaware schools are organizing student walkouts for the one-month anniversary of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. ... They will be part of a national movement. At 10 a.m. in every time zone, organizers are encouraging teachers, students, administrators, parents and allies to walk out for 17 minutes – one minute for every person killed. ... March 3, 2004, The News Journal In the last three months, prices have climbed steadily, reaching levels in Delaware this week that match prices in the middle of the summer last year. 'It's unusual,' said Bill O'Grady, director of futures research at investment firm A.G. Edwards. 'It raises great fears that we'll have even higher prices this summer.' Prices for regular unleaded gasoline in Delaware have risen from $1.46 in early December to $1.67. ... O'Grady said one cause is uncertainty about the chemical MTBE, usually added to gasoline in the summer in most urban areas on the East Coast, to help cut pollution. He said there's speculation that MTBE will be banned in some states over environmental concerns, causing refineries to delay production of the lower-polluting summer gasoline. More recent news on energy prices: Delaware Senate committee investigates causes of spike in Delmarva Power bills this winter March 5, 2000, The News Journal Educators and lawmakers have labored for nearly a decade to improve Delaware's public schools, but now the final piece of the plan is nearly dead in the General Assembly. What has gone wrong? The effort to create academic standards for students and hold teachers accountable has fallen apart for many reasons, according to lawmakers, teachers, lobbyists and others. ... The final steps in the process – how to hold students, teachers, administrators and parents accountable for a student's performance – have proven difficult. The majority House Republican leadership lost control of its own members, whose refusal to back a compromise bill worked out in part by their own leadership threatens to leave the issue unresolved. Politically powerful special interests in the education community each have their own ideas for improving education. Gov. Tom Carper, who took the lead on education reform but now is nearing the end of his final term, has lost influence over lawmakers. With statewide offices and some House and Senate seats up for grabs, this year's election has convinced some legislative leaders that waiting until next year would be best. ... 'There's no way we can make it work for this [2000-2001] school year with the time lines in the bill,' said Senate President Pro Tem Thomas B. Sharp, D-Pinecrest. Catch up on history: News Journal archives, Dec. 29 to Jan. 4: celebrating the year 2000, car factory layoffs March 6, 1981, Evening Journal By Bill Hayden, staff writer After tonight, the world will be a little bit different. No longer will Walter Cronkite be around to assure us – as he has done for the past 19 years – 'that's the way it is' as he closes the nightly CBS Evening News. At the end of tonight's newscast, Cronkite is putting himself out to pasture. He's leaving the anchorman post to follow less strenuous pursuits at CBS News, including hosting its prime-time science series, 'Universe,' this summer. Here is a man who has become a father figure for an entire nation, whose recounting each day's events has come to be seen as the way things actually took place, whose perceived image as the country's most trusted man has been carefully guarded. Cronkite's reputation for putting the chaos of the world in electronic perspective, thus reassuring viewers that there will be a tomorrow, was earned in November 1963. In shirtsleeves, he appeared on the nation's television screens the afternoon of Nov. 22 to tell us President John F. Kennedy had been shot by an assassin. Over the next several days, with dignity and sensitivity, Cronkite guided his network's coverage of the aftermath and mourning. Because of that exemplary performance, a generation of Americans came to accept him as a member of the family, the trusted uncle who could be counted on in times of stress.
