SHAWNEE, Okla. – The 15th-ranked Fort Hays State men’s soccer team dropped their first match of the season as they fell to No. 2 Midwestern State on Thursday (Sept. 6), 2-1. The Tigers dipped to 2-1 on the season, while the Mustangs improved to 2-0 on the year.
The Tigers and Mustangs were very conservative for the majority of the first half as neither team was able to cut through the opposing defense until the 35th minute as Mustang Hikaruhito Meike connected on a header goal on a pass from teammate Carlos Flores inside the left post to grab a 1-0 lead over the Tigers.
Fort Hays State trailed Midwestern State 1-0 at the break, as the Mustang defense stifled the Tiger offense with only allowing the Tigers to break away for three scoring chances. One of which was on target.
The second half was a bit more aggressive from both teams as the Tigers connected on a shot from Moritz Walther. Walther redirected a corner kick from Ross Boyd into the back-right post for his first goal as a Tiger.
MSU picked up the game-winning goal in the 77th minute of the match on a header from Ross Fitzpatrick on a free kick from Dylan Burke inside the right post.
FHSU was outshot by Midwestern State 15-7, with the Mustangs having a 6-2 edge in shots on goal. Cullen Fisch was charged with the loss in goal for the Tigers, picking up four saves in the contest.
The Tigers are back in action Sunday (Sept. 9) as they head back to Hays to host Metro State. The Tigers and Roadrunners will meet up for the first time as kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. inside FHSU Soccer Stadium.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The agency which oversees state-owned sports facilities says New Orleans’ minor league baseball franchise has filed an application to relocate to Wichita after the 2021 season.
Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District chairman Kyle France calls the decision by the New Orleans Baby Cakes “sad.” But France asserts that the LSED remains committed to keeping the suburban New Orleans baseball stadium occupied by a professional baseball franchise long-term.
New Orleans has been home to the AAA-level franchise since it moved from Denver in 1993. The team name was the Zephyrs until two seasons ago, when a recently installed management team changed it.
The name Baby Cakes was polarizing and alienated many fans. Although it was meant to be an allusion to the plastic babies hidden in Mardi Gras king cakes, the anachronistic phrase was never previously associated with the pastry.
The team is currently AAA affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
The Hays High Indians Volleyball team is ranked 9th in the first 5A Kansas Volleyball Coaches Association rankings of the regular season, despite not having played a match this season.
The Indians, who open the season Thursday at Dodge City, were ranked 9th in the preseason.
In class 2A Smith Center dropped six spots to number eight this week and after starting 4-0 Ness City enters the rankings for the first time this week at number nine.
Otis-Bison started the season 6-1 and enters the 1A rankings at number 10 this week.
CLEVELAND (AP) – Corey Kluber became the first 18-game winner in the majors this season, striking out 10 and pitching the Cleveland Indians past the Kansas City Royals 3-1 Wednesday.
The Indians moved closer to the third straight AL Central title and reduced their magic number for clinching the division to nine.
Kluber (18-7) allowed one run and two hits in 6 2/3 innings. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner was pulled after throwing 105 pitches.
Cleveland used three relievers to complete the two-hitter. Brad Hand struck out the side in the ninth for his eighth save since being acquired San Diego and 32nd this season.
Brad Keller (7-6) allowed three runs – one earned – in seven-plus innings and lost for the first time since Aug. 7.
The game began in sweltering conditions with the temperature at 91 degrees for the first pitch.
Edwin Encarnacion’s RBI grounder broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth. Greg Allen’s RBI single in the second gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead, and Kansas City tied it in the fourth on rookie Ryan O’Hearn’s triple.
Kluber retired the first 10 batters before Alex Gordon lined a double on a 3-2 pitch. Hunter Dozier struck out, but O’Hearn’s ling drive was over Allen’s head in center field.
Michael Brantley’s one-out single started the go-ahead rally. Shortstop Alcides Escobar couldn’t handle Yandy Diaz’s chopper and Brantley took third when the ball rolled into the outfield on the error. Encarnacion’s grounder put Cleveland ahead.
Jason Kipnis had a sacrifice fly and two hits.
Royals right fielder Brett Phillips was out of the lineup after running full-speed into the wall chasing Jose Ramirez’s fly ball Tuesday. He was removed from the game an inning later. Phillips was diagnosed with a bruised right shoulder.
DONALDSON PLAN
Josh Donaldson was scheduled to play for Double-A Akron against Altoona in the first game of the best-of-five Eastern League playoffs on Wednesday. He’s on the disabled list with a strained left calf, which has prevented him from playing in a major league game since May 28.
Donaldson, acquired from Toronto on Friday, is eligible to be activated Sept. 11. It’s unclear how many minor league games he’ll play before joining the Indians.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: LHP Danny Duffy (sore shoulder) will not pitch again this season after leaving his Tuesday start in the first inning. Duffy was on the disabled list from Aug. 13-23 with a similar injury and recently received an anti-inflammatory shot. “The doctors said he can’t have another shot for a while, so it makes sense just to shut him down,” manager Ned Yost said.
Indians: LHP Andrew Miller (sore shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday in Toronto. He’s been on the disabled list since Aug. 29.
UP NEXT
Royals: RHP Heath Fillmyer (2-1, 4.01 ERA) opens a three-game series Friday in Minnesota.
Indians: RHP Shane Bieber (8-3, 4.66 ERA) starts Thursday at Toronto.

CLEVELAND (AP) – Mike Clevinger struck out 10, Francisco Lindor hit another leadoff homer and the Cleveland Indians moved closer to their third straight AL Central title with a 9-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.
The Indians ended a three-game losing streak and reduced their magic number for clinching another division title to 11.
Not only did the Royals have their season-high winning streak stopped at six, but they lost starting pitcher Danny Duffy and rookie right fielder Brett Phillips to injuries.
Staked to a 6-0 lead after two innings, Clevinger (11-7) allowed just three hits in six innings and remained unbeaten in his last seven starts. The right-hander, who could have a big role for the Indians in October, had a little more velocity on his fastball and struck out six of nine in one dominant stretch.
Lindor connected for his 31st homer in the first against Duffy (8-12), who left moments later with a sore left shoulder.
Yandy Diaz hit his first major league homer and Jason Kipnis added two RBIs for Cleveland.
After the Indians lost Monday night, Lindor talked about the Indians being flat and needing a spark.
The All-Star shortstop provided an early one with his sixth leadoff homer – one shy of the club record set by Grady Sizemore in 2008 – as the Indians jumped to a 3-0 lead on Duffy.
Diaz picked up an RBI on a fielder’s choice and Kipnis, who is moving from second base to center field, singled home a run in the inning before Duffy was removed after 26 pitches. The left-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012.
The Indians added three runs in the second off Burch Smith on Jose Ramirez’s double, Edwin Encarnacion’s sacrifice fly and Brandon Guyer’s RBI single.
CRASH TEST
Phillips bruised his right shoulder in a scary collision with the padded outfield wall in the second inning.
Breaking back on Ramirez’s drive, Phillips just missed making a catch before barreling full-speed into the wall. His torso twisted awkwardly and he crumpled onto the warning track. His teammates and a trainer rushed to Phillips, who got to his feet and remained in the game after being examined.
Phillips was removed the next inning. He was acquired in July from Milwaukee in the trade for third baseman Mike Moustakas.
MOVING TIME
Kipnis isn’t thrilled about having to change positions, but he’s willing to do it as long as Josh Donaldson is healthy.
The Indians acquired Donaldson – the 2015 AL MVP – in a trade with Toronto, and once activated from the disabled list, he’ll take over at third with Ramirez going to second and Kipnis heading to the outfield.
Kipnis did the same thing a year ago.
“Does it take a little wind out of my sails?” he said. “A little bit. But not enough to get me to stop working, stop competing.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: C Salvador Perez (sprained left thumb) was out of the lineup for the sixth straight game. The six-time All-Star was injured Aug. 28.
Indians: LHP Andrew Miller is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday in Toronto as he recovers from shoulder soreness that landed him on the disabled list. Miller has been on the DL three times this season, but the reliever isn’t concerned about his latest issue which he has previously dealt with in spring training. The former All-Star left-hander has also been out with hamstring and knee injuries.
UP NEXT
Corey Kluber tries to become the majors’ first 18-game winner as the Indians conclude their three-game series with the Royals, who will start Brad Keller.
