The White Sox sweep the Royals, pushing their record to 22-21, setting up a great matchup for rivalry weekend against the Cubs. Incredibly, the last time the two teams faced each other when BOTH teams were above .500 was June, 2008. (excluding 2020).

NEWS: Iowa coach Ben McCollum is finalizing a new six-year contract, sources told me and @jeffborzello . McCollum led the Hawkeyes to the Elite Eight in his first season at the helm and was pursued by North Carolina during the Tar Heels’ coaching search last month.

@Didicoy_Tonttu @PoliceThePolic1 And, I must say, I have no idea where that Quik Trip is in Iowa City. I was there for the last 7+ years and cannot recall a QT (though I’m partial to Casey’s). So, probably a pretty old photo!

@Didicoy_Tonttu @PoliceThePolic1 Hello! I previously reported on the City of Coralville (their police department included) for the Press-Citizen, but I have since moved on to a different job.

I was not an employee of the department, and certainly nothing like a public information officer or anything.

A line of thunderstorms will continue to move across northeast IL and northwest IN over the next 2-3 hours. While the severe threat is gradually diminishing, a few stronger storms could produce wind gusts up to 50 mph. #ILwx #INwx

FINAL: Venezuela 3, United States 2

Venezuela wins the World Baseball Classic in a game that lived up to the tournament’s name. Superlative pitching, excellent defense, clutch swings -- the biggest of them Eugenio Suárez’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning. An incredible show.

Body camera footage from a 2024 University of Iowa fraternity hazing incident has gone viral online, with clips showing young men standing blindfolded and silent in a basement. My latest for @USATODAY alongside @ryanhansen01:
