Colts still searching for answers
Scores •
ANDERSON (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts came to training camp to see how much they had improved over last season. They left Friday still looking for answers. “I think once we get everybody healthy and we get everybody back, we’ve got a chance to be really good (defensively), especially in the back end,” Pagano said. “Once LaRon (Landry) gets back, the corner position, I think we’ve really upgraded and solidified ourselves there. If you stay healthy there, we’ve got a chance.” This year’s training camp was atypical. The rookie class, which was expected to help fill some of last season’s glaring holes, didn’t get much of a chance to prove itself. As first-round choice Bjoern Werner continued the transition from college defensive end to NFL linebacker, he sat out late

Cubs hold Cardinals without a run, 7-0 CHICAGO (AP) — In his second game with the Chicago Cubs, Jake Arrieta showed exactly why they’re putting him in the rotation for the rest of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander dominated the potent St. Louis Cardinals lineup for seven innings to lead Chicago to a 7-0 victory Friday. “That’s the kind of stuff the power arms can do when they’re throwing strikes and making pitches and you have a 91 mph cutter, slider or whatever you want to call it,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “He made some really good pitches in some key situations of counts. When you thought you might be losing good hitters, he made some key pitches on the black at 95, 96 mph.” Arrieta (1-0) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven. In his only other start with

Chicago, Arrieta allowed one run and two hits in six innings July 30 against Milwaukee. He’s thrown 13 innings in a Cubs uniform and allowed one run. That’s a far cry from the struggling pitcher who went 1-2 with a 7.23 ERA for Baltimore this season before he was traded to the Cubs on July 2. The Cubs got Arrieta all the runs he needed in the first inning. After Westbrook walked the bases loaded, cleanup batter Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run single to center. Donnie Murphy added a two-out RBI single to make it 3-0. “We got some big hits. I think the biggest was Nate’s,” Sveum said. “We’ve had chances like that this year when we couldn’t come away with one and to come away with the big hit there and then Murphy’s two-out hit ... to get three runs on the board there was key in that game.”

LIGONIER — Fresh from their fourth win in five games, the Noble County Wolfpack travels to Nappanee today for an Interstate Football League game against the Michiana Thunderhawks. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. and fans are advised to bring chairs. The location of the game is in rural Elkhart County at 69954, C.R. 11, Nappanee. The Thunderhawks are 1-4 and the Wolfpack is 4-1. Noble County defeated longtime rivals Battle Creek Blaze by a 33-0 score in a game played last Saturday at East Noble High School in Kendallville. The ‘Pack scored touchdowns in all four quarters, including two in the third quarter against the Blaze. In the opening quarter, former West Noble player Dustin Petre picked off a Battle Creek pass and ran it back 40 yards for a touchdown with 11:15 on the clock. In the second period, another West Noble product, quarterback Michael Knepper, put six on the board with an 18-yard run. Fairfield graduate Alic VanOver scored touchdown no. 3 for the ‘Pack with 9:24 showing on the clock in the third quarter. He pushed his way into the endzone from 10 yards out. Byron Broyles made the score 26-0 for the Wolfpack with an 18-yard run late in the third quarter. In the final period, another former West Noble player, Matt Rupright, scored on a one-yard run with less than a minute to go in the game. Brian Clawson’s point-after kick was wide, leaving the final score at 33-0. Noble County has a bye over the Labor Day weekend and hosts the Indiana Mustangs on Sept. 7 at a site to be announced. The regular season ends on Sept. 14 with a showdown against the Indiana Cutters from Bloomington. The Cutters are the only team to defeat the Wolfpack this season.

Fourth-round selection Khaled Holmes, expected to compete for playing time at center, sprained his right ankle on Day 4 and hasn’t been back yet. Defensive tackle Montori Hughes, Indy’s fifth-rounder, has been out this week with a stinger and sixth-round choice John Boyett is still on the nonfootball injury list. The injury rash even hit some of the Colts’ high-profile, high-priced free agents. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw was forced to come off the physically unable to perform list early after he participated in a walkthrough drill in Week 2 but still has not worked out in pads. Landry, a two-time Pro Bowler, hurt his left knee and missed the final 10 days of practice. Cornerback Greg Toler missed a few days with a concussion and more than a dozen Colts’ sat out the 44-20 loss to Buffalo.
