(Aliquippa, PA) Thirty-year-old Matthew Craig of Monaca turned himself in to police on Friday and he is no longer wanted on an active arrest warrant that was connected to an assault, specifically an incident of domestic violence, that occurred on Thursday on Spring Street in Aliquippa.
An investigation alleges that during an altercation, Craig struck a female victim in the face with a metal paint roller, which caused a severe laceration above her eye that required medical attention.
Craig continued to contact and harass the victim after the incident after knowing that police had been contacted.
He was initially wanted on charges including Aggravated Assault, Disorderly Conduct, Intimidation of Witnesses or Victims, Simple Assault and Terroristic Threats.
Officers tried to locate Craig at his residence and they made several attempts to contact him by telephone.
He did answer a telephone call from an officer.
However, he did not initially turn himself in or report to the police department to speak with officers when he was requested.

CHICAGO (AP) — Brandon Lowe hit a tiebreaking two-run single in Pittsburgh’s three-run sixth inning, and the Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Sunday to avoid a sweep of their weekend series.

The Cubs (83-67) dropped into a tie with Philadelphia for the top spot in the NL wild-card standings.
Montgomery worked a perfect ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances. The Pirates had a 3-2 lead on Saturday before a wild Gregory Soto surrendered two runs in the eighth inning of a 4-3 loss.
Chicago jumped in front in the series finale on Amaya’s sixth homer, a two-run drive to left with two out in the fifth. It was his first homer since Aug. 16.
Pittsburgh responded with three runs in the sixth. Reynolds reached on a leadoff walk and scored on Nick Gonzales’ ground-rule double. With one out and the bases loaded, Lowe made it 4-2 when he drove in Rafael Flores Jr. and Gonzales with a pinch-hit liner to center off Aaron Civale.
Chicago closed to 4-3 on Nico Hoerner’s grounder to second in the bottom half. But the Cubs left the bases loaded when Pedro Ramírez flied to right against Mlodzinski, ending the inning.

CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Bregman scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning when Gregory Soto hit Nico Hoerner with a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs, and the Chicago Cubs rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Saturday.
Before Hoerner’s at-bat, Soto walked pinch-hitter Matt Shaw to force in Pedro Ramirez from third to tie it at 3 as the Cubs won their second straight. Soto relieved after seven strong innings from Paul Skenes, who left with a 3-2 lead.
Skenes settled in after giving up solo shots to Michael Busch and Ramirez off high fastballs as the Pirates dropped a second straight after winning nine of 11. Ramirez led off the eighth with a double off Soto (6-5), who allowed two runs on one hit, two walks and hit two batters.
Ryan Rolison (9-1) got five outs for the win. Ryan Zeferjahn got the final out of the ninth for his sixth save.
Ryan O’Hearn hit his career-best 18th homer of the season, a three-run drive in the sixth, to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead. O’Hearn connected for the first time since being reinstated on Friday following six weeks on the injured list (left quad strain) and upped his career-high RBI total this season to 72.
Skenes allowed two runs on four hits in seven innings while striking out four and walking one.
Cubs starter Clay Holmes cruised through five scoreless innings. The right-hander allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out six.
Busch hit an opposite-field homer in the first for a 1-0 Chicago lead. Ramirez pulled a drive high into the right-center bleachers in the third to make it 2-0.
O’Hearn sent a high cutter from Holmes to the base of Wrigley Field’s message board in right.
Pirates RHP Bubba Chandler (7-9, 4.25 ERA) faced Cubs LHP Matthew Boyd (8-4, 4.03) on Sunday.

CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Bregman hit his 25th homer and doubled among three hits, Shota Imanaga tossed six effective innings and the Chicago Cubs pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-2 on Friday to end a four-game slide.
Seiya Suzuki had three hits, including a wind-blown triple, scored three runs and drove in one as the Cubs finished with 16 hits against three Pittsburgh pitchers and ended the Pirates’ four-game winning streak. Chicago remains well behind NL Central-leading Milwaukee but is in position for a wild card.
Michael Busch doubled and had three RBIs, and Carson Kelly doubled in a pair of runs. All of Chicago’s starters had at least one hit, and five finished with two or more.
Bregman went deep in the fourth inning, a two-run shot off Khristian Curtis that made it 9-1.
Imanaga (10-10) allowed two runs on five hits in a second straight solid start and win. The left-hander struck out four and walked two.
Bryan Reynolds hit a solo shot for Pittsburgh, which came in having won 9 of 11 to climb back above .500. Rookie Konnor Griffin tripled among two hits.
Pirates rookie right fielder Esmerlyn Valdez left in the sixth inning with left hamstring discomfort after running to first on a groundout.
The Cubs made it 3-1 in the second off Pirates opener Wilber Dotel (1-5). After Chicago loaded the bases, Michael Conforto’s sac fly tied it at 1 and Kelly’s double plated two more.
Pirates RHP Paul Skenes (10-11, 3.83 ERA) faces Cubs RHP Clay Holmes (6-7, 2.83) on Saturday.

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News
(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates put All-Star starting pitcher Braxton Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list yesterday because he has right arm discomfort.
The move is retroactive to Monday.
The Pirates recalled right-handed pitcher Antwone Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
According to Pirates manager Don Kelly, Ashcraft’s arm discomfort popped up after his most recent start on Saturday, when a game took place between the Pirates and the Los Angeles Angels at PNC Park.
Kelly also stated on a recent edition of the SportsNet Pittsburgh pregame show that there does not appear to be any structural damage to Ashcraft’s arm, but more tests will be conducted.
Ashcraft’s 2026 statistics include an ERA of 3.70, a record of 14-6 and 173 strikeouts.
