Regional Semi-Final: TMP 15, Scott Community 0 (4 innings)
Regional Final: TMP 6, Colby 0
LAKIN, Kan.-Cole Zimmerman, Chase Werth and Tate Garcia were dominant on the mound Wednesday in Lakin as their TMP Monarchs won two games in 3A Regional play to advance to the 3A State Tournament in Manhattan. The three pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts in 10 scoreless innings in a 15-0 route of Scott City in the semi-finals and a 6-0 shutout of Colby in the championship game. Zimmerman pitched all four innings in the win over Scott City. Werth threw six strong innings and Garcia the seventh inning to wrap up the victory.
In game one TMP jumped on Scott City early with two runs in the first inning and virtually put the game away with nine runs in the second inning that saw 15 Monarchs come to the plate. They put three more on the board in the third and then one in the fourth to finish the run rule victory.
Game two was all TMP from the start. The Monarchs scored one run in the first inning and three in the second and Colby never really challenged from there as TMP picked up an insurance run in the fourth inning and another in the fifth. TMP improves to 21-1 with the wins and have now won 13 games in a row. The Monarchs will travel to Manhattan on Thursday and Friday to compete in the 3A State Tournament.
