WILD-SCANDELLA

Wild re-sign defenseman Marco Scandella

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Wild have re-signed defenseman Marco Scandella to a 2-year contract.

The team announced the deal on Monday.

Scandella was eligible to be a restricted free agent, but the Wild locked the 23-year-old before he could hit the market. Scandella missed training camp in January because of a groin injury and spent most of this season with the Houston Aeros in the AHL, recording 17 points in 45 games.

The second-round pick in the 2008 draft played in six regular season games for the Wild. Added to the active roster again right before the playoffs, Scandella had a goal and an assist in five games against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound native of Montreal has four goals and 11 assists in 89 career NHL games.

TIMBERWOLVES-MBAKWE

Trevor Mbakwe gets chance to work out for Wolves

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Timberwolves are working out another group of draft prospects.

Their guests on Monday afternoon included a player that president of basketball operations Flip Saunders is quite familiar with: former Gophers standout Trevor Mbakwe (im-BAHK'-way).

Saunders watched Mbakwe play often last season at Williams Arena, where the team's new boss once starred himself. Mbakwe has been widely projected as a pick in the second round, where the Wolves have two selections.

Others being evaluated by team officials on Monday included Reggie Bullock of North Carolina, Tony Snell of New Mexico, Deshaun Thomas of Ohio State, Carrick Felix of Arizona State and Jason Washburn of Utah.

The NBA draft takes place on June 27.

The Mustangs (20-6) tagged three different Rocori pitchers for 14 hits, plus getting four walks.

Sam Hentges ended a home run short of hitting for the cycle, scoring three times and knocking in two. Lars Anderson also had three hits, and Justin Ortt had two.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Joey Hyde pitched a complete game to guide the Kasson-Mantorville Komets to an 8-1 victory over the Perham Yellowjackets in the Class 2A state championship at Target Field on Monday.

Hyde scattered five singles over seven innings while striking out five, letting in the lone run in the second.

Nine different players had at least one hit for the Komets (25-6), who scored three times in the first inning and three more in the fourth to win their first baseball title. Riley Donovan had two runs and two RBIs, and Wade Starkey hit an RBI double.

The Komets previously appeared at state in 2005 and 2011.
