GODFREY — Last season’s two Southwest-ern Conference girls golf tournaments ended with Alton 55 strokes behind Collinsville and 99 behind Belleville East after 36 holes.

Nine holes at Roll-ing Hills golf course on Thursday saw the Redbirds make up that ground.

With senior Natalie Messinger shooting 3-over par 39 to claim medalist honors, Alton came in at 182 to beat East’s 192 and Collins-ville’s 193 in a season-opening triangular.

“It’s a great start,” Redbirds coach Carey Cappel said. “We’re going to take it day-by-day and, obviously, we’re not tak-

ing anything for granted. Tomorrow’s a new day, Saturday’s a new day. We’re just going to come out and try to prepare for the next match, the tour-nament the best we can.”

The Redbirds, Lancers and Kahoks will all be back at Rolling Hills for a 2 p.m. shotgun start Sat-urday in the Alton Kick-Off Scramble/Shamble, where all three teams figure to be chasing SWC powers O’Fallon and Edwardsville in a five-school tourney.

Alton was the lone team in Thursday’s tri-angular that managed to post four scores below 50. Messinger was backed by 45 from freshman Na’ilah Simmons and 49 from both junior Olivia Boyd and junior Lexi Paulin.

“We were just able to start Monday, and Tues-

day and Wednesday, we were able to get a couple nine-holes in,” Cappel said. “The girls got better on Wednesday from Tues-day and they improved again today, as a whole.”

The Lancers were led by Ellie Eversman’s 45 and Kenzy Gleadle’s 48. The Kahoks posted a team-best 46 from Ricki Merlak.

But nobody on the course for the three-team dual could match Mess-inger in making a run at sub-40. Messinger, who was medalist at a Class 2A regional last season, set the theme for the Red-birds’ opener.

“She’s just a prime example,” Cappel said. “She was shooting low 40s the last two nine-hole rounds we played this week. Thirty-nine is right around the average I

see her being all year. Of course, she’s never com-pletely pleased with how

she plays, but that’s why she’s improved so quickly over her high school

career. She picks things apart, she works on them and improves.”

between the Cardinals and Pirates.

The three game series between the Cardinals and Cubs, which was originally scheduled for Aug.7-9 at Busch Stadi-um, will be rescheduled as part of three double-headers at Wrigley Field. Each doubleheader will consist of the originally scheduled game at Wrig-ley, as well as one make-up from last weekend’s scheduled series.

Since the make-up games will be Cardinals home games, the Cubs will be the home team for Game 1 of each doubleheader, while the Cardinals will be the home team for Game 2 of each doubleheader. The first doubleheader will be played on Mon-day, Aug. 17 beginning at 4:15 p.m. The second will be on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 1:20 p.m. and the third will be played on Saturday, Sept. 5 starting at 4:15 p.m.

The three-game series between the Cards and Pirates, which was origi-nally scheduled for Aug.

10-12 at Busch Stadium, will be rescheduled as part of a pair of double-headers. The first will be played on Thursday, Aug. 27 at Busch Sta-dium beginning at 2:15 p.m. and will make up games from Aug. 10 and Aug. 11. The sec-ond will be played on Friday, Sept. 18 at PNC Park beginning at 3:05 p.m.The Pirates will be the home team for Game 1, which is the originally scheduled game, and the Cardinals will be the home team for Game 2, which will make up the game from Aug. 12.

The Cardinals’ missed series against the Min-nesota Twins will also be made up.

The two-game series between the Cardinals and Twins at Busch Stadium, scheduled for Sept. 8 and Sept. 9, will be played as a double-header on Tuesday, Sept. 8 beginning at 2:15 p.m.

One more double-header is still awaiting rescheduling. The post-poned twinbill between the Cardinals and Detroit Tigers, origi-nally scheduled for Aug. 13, will be rescheduled at a later date.

CardsNEW YORK (AP) — Major

League Baseball’s eye-popping salaries took an astonishing dive during the coronavirus pandemic to their lowest level in nearly a quarter-century, according to a study by The Associated Press.

Washington pitcher Max Scher-zer topped the shortened season’s list at $17.8 million, his income partially protected by a huge signing bonus. That is the lowest amount for baseball’s highest-paid player since Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kevin Brown made $15.7 million in 2000.

Players receive about 37 per-cent of their 2020 pay under the formula agreed to in March by MLB and the union, a figure the union wound up keeping during bitter negotiations that failed to produce an agreement. Commis-sioner Rob Manfred unilaterally announced a 60-game regular-season schedule that started four months late on July 23, down from the normal 162 games for each team.

Salaries averaged $1,295,942 on expanded opening-day rosters after prorated pay was factored in, according to the AP study. That must feel like a throwback paycheck, similar to a vintage jersey — it’s the lowest average in the AP’s annual opening-day study since $1,176,967 in 1996 and down from $4,375,486 at the

start of the 2019 season.Unhappy with flattening sala-

ries during the first four years of a collective bargaining agree-ment that runs to December 2021, players spoke even before the curtailed season of seeking large changes. Talks figure to be the most contentious since the 1994-95 strike, the last shortened seasons before this one.

Even with contracts at full value and projected for 25-man active rosters, this year’s average of $4,520,010 would have repre-sented just a 3.1 percent increase over 2016′s $4,381,980.

Part of the drop in the average was caused by roster expansion to an active limit of 30 per team at the season’s start, adding more major leaguers making the $563,500 minimum or close to it. There were 1,007 players on opening-day rosters and injured lists, up from 878 last year.

Scherzer’s $210 million, seven-year contract includes a $50 mil-lion signing bonus — baseball signing bonuses are distinct from salaries and not subject to reduc-tion. His $35 million salary, which is entirely deferred, was sliced to $12.96 million.

MLB’s initial proposal in late May would have cut the highest-paid stars the most, and Scher-zer’s 2020 salary would have been reduced to about $4.85 million.

The union fought to keep the pro-rated pay called for in the March deal, while MLB argued it needed additional cuts to play in empty ballparks. As a result, MLB called for the shortest schedule since 1878.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was second on the opening day list at $16.3 million, boosted by a $23 million signing bonus.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was third at $15.8 million, followed by San Diego shortstop Manny Machado ($15.1 million), Houston pitcher Zack Greinke ($14.1 million), New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole ($13.3 million), Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado ($12.96 million), Houston second base-man José Altuve ($12.63 million), Astros pitcher Justin Verlander ($12 million) and Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg ($11.7 million).

Each player’s figure includes his adjusted 2020 salary plus a prorat-ed share of his signing bonus. For players such as Scherzer, parts of salaries deferred without inter-est are discounted to present-day value. The player pool includes Minnesota pitcher Michael Pine-da, who has a guaranteed contract and started the season on the restricted list while completing a suspension for a banned diuretic.
