FHSU softball sweeps Rockhurst in home opener

Posted on

FHSU Sports Information

No. 14 Fort Hays State swept its first doubleheader of the season on Friday, taking down Rockhurst 9-0 (six innings) in Game 1, and 6-4 in Game 2.

FHSU, which hit .370 as a team, is now 7-1 overall this season and has won six straight.  Rockhurst dropped to 2-6 with the losses.

FHSU hits the road this weekend for a five-game tournament in St. Paul, Minn., on Feb. 23-24.  FHSU will face Minnesota Duluth and Minot State twice and University of Mary once.

Game 1: FHSU 9, Rockhurst 0 (6 innings)
Fort Hays State’s Paxton Duran (4-0) threw a complete game, striking out seven and allowing just four hits to win her fourth game of the season.  Duran didn’t walk a batter and dropped her season ERA to 2.05.

At the plate, FHSU’s Danie Brinkmann was 2-for-2 with an RBI while Tori Beltz (1-for-2) and Duran (2-for-3) each had multi-RBI home runs.

With both teams scoreless through the first three innings, FHSU got things started in the fourth with a lead-off single from Brinkmann.  After Kelli Koehler entered to pinch run for Brinkmann, Beltz took the first pitch she saw over the fence in left center, sending FHSU ahead, 2-0.

The Tigers’ largest run sequence came in the fifth, starting with Duran’s lead-off single up the middle.  During Kellsi Olsen’s at-bat, Duran reached second, and a walk for Olsen put runners on first and second with no outs. Biance Adame’s single up the middle sent Duran home and moved Olsen to second.  Next, Rilee Krier laid down a bunt single to load the bases, but a throwing error on RU’s Bridgette Sappington allowed all three runners to move up, scoring Olsen.  Brinkmann’s second hit of the day – a single – scored Adame to put FHSU ahead, 5-0.  During Beltz’s at-bat, Brinkmann was caught stealing, but the play allowed Krier to come home for the sixth run of the day.

In the final inning, two straight singles from Amanda Vaupel and Kylie Strand set up runners on first and second with no outs for Duran.  On the first pitch of her at-bat, Duran blasted a three-run shot to left field, ending the game early with a run-rule.

Game 2: FHSU 6, Rockhurst 2
Kelsey Kimmiau (2-1) threw into the sixth inning with four strikeouts for the win, while Latlyn Kern’s two scoreless innings earned her the save.  Kimminau allowed six hits on the day and Kern walked just one batter.

Courtney Dobson went 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI, and Vaupel (1-for-2) had a home run with two runs scored. Samantha Villareal picked up two RBI in a pinch hitting role, going 1-for-1 with a single.

The Tigers jumped out to a two-run lead in the first, using back-to-back two-out walks from Brinkmann and Beltz to start the offense.  Dobson’s first double of the day followed, bouncing off the wall in center to score both runners.

Rockhurst tied the game, 2-2 in the fourth, as Demi Plathe led off with a double and later came around to score.  All told, RU had three hits in the inning with two runs scored.

In the bottom of the fourth, though, FHSU took control back for good.   Dobson led off the inning with a double, and moved to third on Vaupel’s sacrifice bunt – which Vaupel reached safely on due to a fielder’s choice.  Strand’s ground ball moved Vaupel to second, and with one out, a walk from Amy Dunn loaded the bases. Kellsi Olsen’s sacrifice fly pushed all Tigers up a base and scored Dobson.  With one out, Villarreal pinch hit for Adame, and sliced a ball into center to score Vaupel and Dunn.

The Hawks answered again in the fifth, but scored just one run on an RBI-double from Plathe, putting the game at 5-3.  In the sixth, RU’s Rachel Evans hit a sacrifice fly into left that scored Alex Hill and shrunk FHSU’s lead to just one (5-4).

That, however, was as close as RU could climb, as Fort Hays State tacked on one more run in the sixth – a solo shot from Vaupel to lead off the inning.

FHSU Sports Information

Fort Hays State baseball opened its MIAA slate with a win on Friday (Feb. 21) at Larks Park in Hays, defeating Pittsburg State 6-3. The Tigers moved to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the MIAA.

The Tigers took the early lead 1-0 on a Clayton Garland solo home run in the third inning, but Pittsburg State responded for all three of its runs on a Tory Stoffregen 3-run home run in the fifth to go up 3-1.

Fort Hays State immediately responded with four runs in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead back at 5-3. Kodie Fewin triggered the rally with a solo home run, cutting the lead to one. After a single and a hit batter, Garland knocked in the tying run with a double to the left center gap. Alex King followed Garland with a RBI single to put the Tigers in front 4-3 and then Horace Johnson had a RBI groundout with the bases loaded.

Fewin hit his second solo homer of the game in the sixth to extend the FHSU lead to 6-3, the eventual final. All six runs were charged to PSU starter Tyler Thompson, who lasted 5.2 innings.

Steven Federau tossed five scoreless frames of his 6.0 innings pitched, allowing all three PSU runs in the fifth. Federau faced one batter in the seventh before yielding to Drew Martineau for the final 3.0 innings. Martineau picked up his first save of the season, allowing just two hits and striking out two. Federau struck out four and allowed six hits in his outing.

The Tigers and Gorillas meet in the doubleheader of the four-game weekend series on Saturday, starting at 1 pm at Larks Park.

Statistics show that seat belt usage significantly decreases during nighttime hours, and the purpose of the event was to enforce seat belt and child restraint laws during nighttime hours.

The event was conducted from 7 to 11 p.m., and officers focused on the areas of 27th and Hall and 27th and Vine. As a result of this extra enforcement, 26 vehicle stops were conducted, according to a release from the HPD.

Sixteen seat belt violations were written along with four equipment violations, two no proof of insurance violations and two moving violations. The event was conducted in accordance with the Kansas Department of Transportation Nighttime Seatbelt Enforcement Program. The HPD also reminded drivers and passengers to buckle up when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.

KQTV reports the crash happened Friday afternoon in Wathena

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the 45-year-old Leavenworth man was driving east on U.S. 36 when his van drifted into the westbound lanes, hit a ditch and vaulted across the parking lot into the Pizza Hut.

No one inside was hurt, but a group of Doniphan County officers had just finished a lunch meeting and witnessed the accident. Another witness, Wathena firefighter Bob Ryser, says the driver was talking afterward but seemed confused and appeared to have suffered a medical problem.

The driver was taken to a hospital in St. Joseph.

 

SE Kan. losing emergency shelter for families

Posted on

Screen Shot 2014-02-21 at 3.54.33 PMPITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — An emergency shelter for homeless families in 11 southeast Kansas counties is expected to close at the end of March.

The CHOICES shelter in Pittsburg is operated by the Southeast Kansas Community Action Program and serves about 300 people a year.

Officials of the nonprofit organization announced plans for the closing this week. They cited a steep cut in Community Services Block Grant funding from the Kansas Housing Resources Corp.

Program officials told The Morning Sun in Pittsburg the shelter has depended on the block grant to cover its annual shortfall of about $190,000.

The nonprofit is looking at ways to house people who have depended on the shelter. Officials said they also wanted to give the shelter’s employees adequate notice that their jobs will be ending March 31.

Royals sign 7 players to 1-year deals for 2014

Posted on

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – The Royals have agreed to terms with seven players not yet eligible for arbitration on major league contracts, including third basemen Mike Moustakas and Danny Valencia.

Kansas City also agreed Friday to deals with left-hander Justin Marks, right-handers Louis Coleman and Kelvin Herrera, infielder Cheslor Cuthbert and outfielder Lane Adams.

The flurry of agreements leaves 13 players unsigned for the 2014 seasons: right-handers Francisley Bueno, Michael Mariot and Yordano Ventura; left-handers Danny Duffy, Chris Dwyer, Donnie Joseph and John Lamb; infielders Pedro Ciriaco, Christian Colon and Johnny Giavotella; and outfielders Lorenzo Cain, Jarrod Dyson and Carlos Peguero.

If deals can’t be reached with pre-arbitration players, contracts can be renewed at the club’s discretion provided they meet a series of salary criteria.

Screen Shot 2014-02-21 at 1.52.57 PMKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The family that owns Russell Stover Candies and Whitman’s Candies is exploring a possible sale for the businesses.

The Kansas City Star reports  the Ward family, which bought Russell Stover in 1960, has hired the investment banking firm Goldman Sachs to assess the value of the businesses and consider the family’s options.

A spokesman for the Ward family, which owns the boxed-candies businesses, says no sale is imminent

The company says the Russell Stover and Whitman’s brands represent half the sales of boxed chocolates and sugar-free candies. They are sold in nearly 40 company-owned stores and through 70,000 wholesale distributors in the United States and Canada.
