Twins beat Royals, make history as 4th 100-win team

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Minnesota Twins became the record fourth team in the major leagues to win 100 games this season, beating the Kansas City Royals 6-2 Friday night behind two-run homers from Miguel Sanó and Ryan LaMarre in a game shortened to 6½ innings because of rain.

Minnesota reached the century mark in wins for just the second time in franchise history. The 1965 Twins went 102-60, then lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games.

“It’s a really nice, kind of cool round number to look at and talk about after the fact,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said before the game.

Houston, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees also have 100 wins. Before this year, the only seasons with as many as three 100-game winners were 1942, 1977, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2016 and 2017.

At 58-102, the Royals are among a record-tying four teams with 100 losses, joining Detroit, Baltimore and Miami. Kansas City has reached triple figures in losses for the third time. The only previous season with four 100-loss clubs was 2002.

Nelson Cruz and Eddie Rosario hit RBI singles in the first off Eric Skoglund (0-3), and Sanó booted the lead to 4-0 in the second with his 34th homer. LaMarre’s second home run of the season made it 6-1 in the third.

Minnesota’s 303 home runs are second in the major leagues behind the New York Yankees’ 305.

José Berríos (14-8) struck out nine, allowing two runs and six hits in his first complete game this season, the third of his big league career.

Whit Merrifield singled in the first for his 202nd hit, advanced to third on Hunter Dozier’s double and scored on Alex Gordon’s groundout. Merrifield tripled in the fifth and scored on Jorge Soler’s sacrifice fly, his 113th RBI.

TOAST TO YOST

Ned Yost’s No. 3 was chalked behind home plate. The retiring manager was honored before the game, leading wife Deborah and family members through two lines of Royals players and staff. He received framed mementoes, a 4-wheeler to ride on his Georgia farm and a standing ovation from the fans.

“It’s emotional a little bit,” Yost said before the ceremony “I’ve spent 10 great years here, but I’m anxious to get, on too. So there’s a lot of good and a little bit of sad. But more good than sad.”

Yost plans to spend more time with his family and he was asked if he planned to take his grandchildren to a theme park.

“I went to Disney World with my grandkids last year,” he said, “and my feet haven’t been the same since.”

UP NEXT

Saturday’s game was moved up five hours to 1:15 p.m. CDT because heavy rains are forecast. The Twins have not announced a starter; the Royals will use RHP Glenn Sparkman (4-11, 6.11 ERA).

Hays falls in homecoming game versus Garden City

Posted on

Hays High hosted Garden City for their homecoming game Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium.  The Hays High defense started out with a stop and the offense made the most of it.  The second play of the game for the Indians resulted in a 73 yard touchdown run by Roy Maroni.  Soccer player, and new football kicker, Matt Goodale nailed the extra point for a 7-0 lead.

Garden City got on the scoreboard for the first time thanks to a snap that went 16 yards backwards for Hays and into the end zone and was recovered by the Buffaloes.  Hays responded immediately with a 65 yard Dylan Dreiling touchdown run to start the second quarter.  The extra point from Hays missed but Garden City had missed theirs leaving Hays with a 13-6 lead.  Garden City scored to close the gap down to one but again missed the extra point.

Roy Maroni struck again in the first half with a 33 yard score to put Hays up 20-12 following an successful extra point.  Garden City fumbled the ensuing kickoff but retained the ball at the 14.  Their drive then went 11 plays 86 yards and took over four minutes.  Following a Carlos Acosta four yard touchdown run and a two point conversion pass tied the game up at 20 for halftime.

Highlights


 

 

Garden City struck first in the second half on a 51 yard pass from Carlos Acosta to Lane Durst.  Trailing 27-26 Hays answered right back on a Hayden Brown six yard touchdown rush.  The drive was set up by a long kickoff return by Brown into Garden City territory.  Garden City drove into the Hays redzone but was turned away on a Tucker Veach interception that was returned to the Garden City 25.

Hays did not score on the following drive.  The defense forced the Buffaloes back to their own nine yard line.  A six yard punt put Hays starting at the Buffaloe 15 yard line.  It took until fourth down but running back Hayden Brown threw a touchdown to Dylan Ruder in the back of the endzone for seven yard score.  The two point conversion failed keeping the score at 32-27.

Garden City drove seventy yards on their next drive to take a 35-32 lead.  During the drive Garden City senior quarterback left the game with an apparent knee injury.  Running back Josh Janas finished off the drive on his 34 carry and his second touchdown rush then the two point conversion.

Coach Tony Crough


 

 

Hays had four minutes and two timeouts left to navigate 56 yards to win the game.  The Indians received 15 yards on a Garden City penalty and used the momentum to take the ball down to the ten.  On the following play Hays was called for a 15 yard penalty themselves.  On 3rd and 22 and 4th and 22 the Indians heaved two passes for the end zone.  The first was ruled incomplete at the one. The second pass fell incomplete following contact in the end zone on Hays receiver.

Dylan Dreiling ran for 125 yards and a touchdown.  Roy Maroni ran for 164 yards and two scores on seven carries.  Hays falls to 1-3 and 1-2 in the WAC.  Garden City is now and 1-0 in conference play.

Hays travels to Wichita to take on the South Titans next Friday.

FHSU women’s soccer outlasts Washburn

Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – The Fort Hays State women’s soccer team wrapped up their non-conference schedule with a 1-0 victory over Washburn. It is the Tigers’ fourth win of the season and they head into MIAA play at 4-2. All four of their wins have been shutout victories. Washburn is also 4-2 on the year.

Neither team could find the back of the net for the first 45 minutes. The Tigers had a couple of solid chances to break the scoring open, including a header from Maja Persa off a corner that fell right into the lap of Washburn’s goalie Raegan Wells (4-2). FHSU tallied two more shots before the first 45 minutes ended.

It did not take long for the Tigers to break the scoreless tie. Just 1:30 into the second half, Cailey Perkins stole a pass and found the left corner of the net to put the Tigers up 1-0. The defense and Megan Kneefel stalled the Ichabod effort and gave the Tigers their fourth win of the season. Seniors Paige Utterback and Shayla Podlena earned the hardhats defensively as they played the full 90 minutes. Midfielder Tessa Irvine also played the entirety of the match.

With tonight’s victory, senior goalkeeper Megan Kneefel (3-1) picked up her 18th career win, moving her into a tie for second place with Abbie Flax (2014-2016) in career victories. Kneefel also picked up her 12th career shutout.

Each team had nine shots throughout the match. FHSU tallied five shots on goal taken by Cailey Perkins, Darby Hirsch, Tessa Irvine, and Maja Persa (2). Washburn mustered up four shots on goal with two each from Mackenzie Menke and Olivia Grasso.

The Tigers look to continue their seven-game home win streak on Sunday as they open up MIAA play against Emporia State at FHSU Soccer Stadium. Last week, the Hornets defeated the Tigers 4-2 in Emporia in non-conference play. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Tiger volleyball falls at home to Central Oklahoma

Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – A late push from the Central Oklahoma Bronchos was enough to overpower the Fort Hays State volleyball team 3-1 (20-25, 25-20, 19-25, 11-25) Friday evening at Gross Coliseum. Fort Hays State tied things up at 1-1 with a win in the second set, but the Broncho offense took over after the intermission.

The Tigers move to 4-7 overall and 1-2 in MIAA play, while UCO is now 10-3 on the year and 2-1 in league action.

Central Oklahoma jumped out to an early 10-6 lead in the opening set before an 11-4 blitz pushed the Tigers in front, 17-14. The Bronchos responded by scoring the next nine points and ultimately took the frame 25-20.

The Tigers battled back to level the match thanks to a big second set from Isabelle Reynolds. After subbing in with the Tigers trailing 6-5, the sophomore tallied three quick kills to help the FHSU jump in front 13-8. Two more kills from Reynolds, a pair of service aces and a solo block from Tatum Bartels helped the Tigers maintain their lead late in the set before Abbie Hayes clinched the win with a service ace.

After being outhit in the first two sets, .165-.140, the Central Oklahoma offense came to life in the third and fourth frames. The Bronchos posted a .352 attack percentage in the final two sets to secure the victory.

Fort Hays State accumulated a .120 attack percentage (42-24-150) on the night, while the Bronchos countered with a .236 swing rate (56-19-157).

Reynolds led the team with 12 kills, with Delaney Humm adding 10 and Morgan Christiansen totaling nine. Katie Darnell tossed up 33 assists and added 15 digs. Christiansen (one solo) and Morgan West totaled three blocks each while Abbie Hayes led the way with 16 digs. Humm added a season-high 15 digs for her third-consecutive double-double.

The Tigers will look to get back to .500 in conference play Saturday (Sept. 28) when Newman makes the trip to Hays. First serve is set for 2 p.m. from Gross Memorial Coliseum.

According to a media release from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Nicholas D. Moody, 40, of Ulysses, had three warrants issued for his arrest. The warrants were out of Grant County for two counts of distribution of methamphetamine, and one count of distribution of marijuana. Brandy K. Shoemaker, 38, of Ulysses, had a warrant out of Finney County for absconding from community corrections.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the two were observed leaving Liberal, Kan., traveling north on Highway 83 in a tan colored Toyota passenger car. Moody was driving and Shoemaker was a passenger in the vehicle. At approximately 9:45 p.m., a traffic stop was initiated by the Kansas Highway Patrol, and Moody and Shoemaker fled the scene. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), the Finney County Sheriff’s Office, the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office, the Seward County Sheriff’s Office, and the Liberal Police Department responded to help locate the vehicle. Despite a short pursuit, they were able to elude police.

On Friday, Sept. 27, information was received by the KBI that indicated that Moody and Shoemaker might be in Baca County, Colo. The KBI gained the valuable assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Baca County Sheriff’s Office to help locate the offenders.

Friday, at approximately 9 a.m. MDT, the FBI, the KBI, and the Baca County Sheriff’s Office located Moody and Shoemaker. The offenders again fled authorities, so the FBI, and the Baca County Sheriff’s Office engaged in a vehicle pursuit for approximately 15 miles until the two surrendered near a ravine northwest of Springfield, Colo.

The Baca County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI took Moody and Shoemaker into custody, and they were booked into the Baca County Jail. Extradition proceedings are expected. Nothing further will be released at this time.
