Hays baseball falls in first round of state

Maize South plated three runs in the bottom of the first inning on their way to a first round victory over Hays at the 4A-1 state baseball tournament in Salina on Thursday.  The Mavericks opened the game with a double and then scored two batters later to take a 1-0 lead.  A routine ground ball with runners at second and third with two outs hit the infield grass lip, putting a tough hop on the ball.  The ground ball resulted in an error and two runs scored on the play.

Hays threatened in the third and fourth innings, but failed to score while Maize South tacked on another run to push their lead up to 4-0.  Hays scored their first run in the top of the fifth on an infield single by Palmer Hutchison with the bases loaded.  The Indians gave that run back on a home run in the bottom of the inning and trailed 5-1 after the fifth inning.

Hays plated their only other run on a infield single by Cole Murphy in the sixth, but Maize south answered back with two more runs in the bottom of the sixth for the final margin of 7-2.

TMP baseball edged at 3A State

Marion 6, TMP 5 (8 innings)

MANHATTAN, Kan.-The TMP Monarch’ Baseball team had quite the battle with Marion in the opening round of the 3A State Baseball Tournament in Manhattan.  The second seeded Monarchs opened the scoring in the top of the second inning on an RBI double from Luke Ruder.  Marion answered with a tying run in the bottom of the inning.

TMP would regain the lead, 2-1, in the third inning on an RBI single off the bat of Chase Werth.  The Monarchs would hold that lead until the bottom of the fourth inning when Marion plated three runs to take a 4-2 advantage. The score would stay that way until the top of the sixth inning when TMP tied the game with two runs thanks to some Warrior defensive miscues.

Marion continued the back and forth tilt and took the lead with one run in the bottom of the sixth.  TMP was not done as they scrapped together the tying run in the seventh inning.  The Warriors were scoreless in the bottom of the inning thanks to a double play turned by the Monarch defense.

The eighth inning wasn’t quite as pretty for TMP.  After going scoreless in the top of the inning, Marion took advantage by loading the bases in the bottom of the frame and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly.  The loss snaps the Monarch 9 game losing streak as they finish the season at 13-9.
