Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State volleyball coach Jessica Wood-Atkins has announced the hiring of Kamri Nehls as assistant volleyball coach. Nehls will officially join the coaching staff on June 1.

“As a former Hays resident and growing up around FHSU athletics, I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to be a part of the Tiger volleyball program,” said Nehls. “I am eager to meet the team, get involved and start supporting Coach Atkins’ methods of taking this program to the next level.”

Nehls comes to Hays from Dodge City (Kan.) Community College, where she served on the coaching staff for the last four seasons. Before serving as head coach for the last two seasons (interim in 2016), she was the top assistant in 2014 and 2015. Nehls has a 40-31 record as head coach, guiding the Conquistadors to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2003-04 (21-16 in 2016, 19-15 in 2017). Nehls coached four All-Conference performers in her two years as head coach and was named DCCC Coach of the Year in 2017. She has also served as head coach and assistant director at the club level since 2013.

“We’re very excited to have Coach Nehls join the Tiger staff,” said Wood-Atkins. “As a native of Hays, Kamri understands the tradition, values and atmosphere that makes Hays such a special place to play. She has already proven her ability to recruit and develop young talent. We are happy to have her on board and are looking forward to a great season this fall.”

Nehls brings MIAA experience with her to Hays, playing one year for Missouri Southern State before graduating in 2014. She began her collegiate career at Barton (Kan.) Community College, helping the Cougars to a pair of NJCAA national tournament appearances after winning the Region VI championship in 2010 and 2011. She served as team captain in 2011 when BCC went on to win the Jayhawk Conference.

Nehls is a 2014 graduate of Missouri Southern State University, earning a degree in general studies and a minor in psychology while emphasizing on kinesiology. She played prep volleyball at Hays High School before serving as team captain and graduating from Riley County (Kan.) High School.

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.

Buhler’s 1-0 win sent them to the championship of the regional tournament against McPherson.  Cole Murphy allowed just three hits over six innings of work.  He struck out three and walked none throwing just 67 pitches.  Dawson Dreher also allowed just three hits, walking none, striking out one and throwing only 86 pitches over seven innings.

Coach Frank Leo

 

The Hays High Indian’s season ends at 12-9.  Buhler improves to 14-7.

Rays beat Royals for 3-game sweep, drop KC to 13-30

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – C.J. Cron homered and scored three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Kansas City 5-3 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep of the woeful Royals.

Cron extended his on-base streak to 22 games when he was hit by a pitch from Jason Hammel (0-5) in a three-run first that included Brad Miller’s RBI groundout and Adeiny Hechavarria’s two-run single.

Cron homered leading off the third, then singled in the fifth and scored on Wilson Ramos’ double-play grounder for a 5-1 lead.

Tampa Bay had losing six of seven coming in but swept the Royals for the first time since four games from Aug. 8-11, 2011. The Rays had not swept a series in Kansas City since three games from July 17-19, 2009.

Kansas City has lost five straight and seven of eight, dropping to 13-30 for its worst 43-game start since opening with a 10-33 record in 2006. The Royals are 6-16 at Kauffman Stadium.

Matt Andriese (1-1) allowed three hits in three scoreless innings. Alex Colome allowed Abraham Almonte’s leadoff single in the ninth, then retired three straight batters for his third save in three days and ninth in 11 opportunities.

Staked to a 4-0 lead, Rays starter Jake Faria allowed three runs, four hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings. He gave up sacrifice flies to Alcides Escobar in the fourth and Mike Moustakas in the fifth, an inning that also included Jorge Soler’s RBI double.

Hammel gave up five runs and 10 hits in six innings, raising his ERA to 6.28. He is 0-8 with a 7.28 ERA in 13 starts since winning at Detroit on Sept. 6.

LONG TIME COMING

LHP Jonny Venters went 2,096 days between victories. He picked up the win Tuesday in relief, his first since Aug. 17, 2012, while with Atlanta. There were 1,058 other pitchers who got wins between his two victories. “Every time I hear numbers like that, it’s funny to sit back and think about it,” said Venters, who has had three Tommy John surgeries and missed nearly four seasons.

ROSTER MOVE

Tampa Bay recalled INF Christian Arroyo from Triple-A Durham, where he hit .200 in 17 games.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Rays: OF Carlos Gomez (right groin strain) was placed on the 10-day DL. … 3B Matt Duffy (right hamstring tightness) did not play. “I think we’re probably going to play it a little safer,” Duffy said. “If I need one extra day, the first day in Anaheim, I don’t think that’s out of the question, to take two days off and go from there.”

Royals: INF Cheslor Cuthbert (back spasms) was not in the lineup for the second straight day. … RHP Nathan Karns (right elbow inflammation) has resumed a throwing program after being shut down for several days.

UP NEXT

Rays: RHP Chris Archer (2-3) is to start Thursday at the Los Angeles Angels. He gave up three homers and six runs in a loss Saturday at Baltimore and is 5-1 with a 2.55 ERA in seven starts against the Angels.

Royals: RHP Jakob Junis (4-3) is to start Friday in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting New York Yankees.

Regional Semi-Final: TMP 10, Sublette/Satanta 0 (6 innings)
Regional Final: TMP 8, Colby 1

GOODLAND, Kan.-Bailey Lacy struck out 29 batters and gave up only one run and the TMP offense played well as they qualified for the 3A State Softball Tournament next weekend in Manhattan. Both games were pitcher’s duels early. In the semi-final against Sublette/Satanta it took until the 3rd inning for the Lady Monarchs to score their first run. TMP would add five more runs in the 4th inning and four runs in the bottom of the 6th inning to pick up the 10-0 victory.

The Regional Championship game was a good one early. Colby scored their only run of the game in the top of the 1st inning and that one run would hold up until the bottom of the fifth inning when Lexi Gottschalk singled home Brianna Romme to tie the game. The Lady Monarchs would ring the bell two more times in the inning to take a 3-1 lead heading to the 6th. After Colby went down in order TMP would come up with a big blow in the bottom of the inning when Emily Schulte cleared the bases with a bases loaded double. The Lady Monarchs would score would score five over in the inning and went on to 8-1 win.

TMP improves to 18-5 on the season and will travel to Manhattan next Thursday and Fridat to compete in the 3A State Softball tournament.

Wendle RBI single with 2 outs in 9th lifts Rays over Royals

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Joey Wendle singled in a run with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Tampa Bay Rays over the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Tuesday night.

Johnny Field and Jesus Sucre led off the inning with singles against Kelvin Herrera (1-1). Herrera retired the next two batters before Wendle laced a single to left.

Jonny Venters (1-0) got two outs for his first victory since Sept. 27, 2012 while with Atlanta against the Mets. The left-hander had been out since 2012 due to four major elbow surgeries, including three Tommy John operations, before returning to the majors this season.

Alex Colome worked a spotless ninth for his eighth save.

The Royals lost their fourth straight and sixth in seven.

C.J. Cron hammered Ian Kennedy’s first pitch to center for a two-run shot during the Rays’ three-run first. Cron has reached base in a career-high 21 consecutive games and singled in the second for his fifth multihit game in his last seven games.

The Rays batted around in the first, which also included Adeiny Hechavarria’s run-producing single scoring Matt Duffy, who had doubled. Kennedy struck out Sucre with the bases loaded to end the inning.

Left-hander Anthony Banda, who was making his Rays debut after being acquired in a February three-team trade from Arizona, threw only 52 pitches in five innings, allowing three runs and six hits. He became the eighth Rays’ starter in 40 games this season, equaling the number of starters they used in 2017.

Kennedy threw 34 of his 101 pitches in the first inning. He labored through six innings, yielding five runs on seven hits while striking out six. Span went down looking to end the sixth for Kennedy’s 1,500th strikeout.

Whit Merrifield drove in three runs for Kansas City. His seventh-inning two-out single off Sergio Romo scored Alex Gordon and Hunter Dozier. Merrifield’s fifth-inning single scored Dozier.

NOW BATTING FIFTH

Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar batted fifth for the first time in his nine-year career. He is the seventh player to bat fifth for the Royals this season.

ROSTER MOVES

The Rays optioned RHP Hunter Wood to Triple-A Durham, one day after he was recalled. The move was made to clear roster space for Banda.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Rays: Duffy left in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness. Right fielder Carlos Gomez was removed in the sixth with right groin tightness. … RHP Nathan Eovaldi threw a bullpen session Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Florida. “All went well,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Eovaldi, who is on the disabled list with loose elbow fragments, will start a rehab game Friday for Durham. Cash said he would throw three innings and 50 pitches.

Royals: RF Jorge Soler was out with a displaced rib, which he hurt while making a leaping catch Monday. “It’s not serious,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “On a scale of 1-to-10, it’s not even a one, maybe a three-fourths.” He said Soler could return Wednesday. … Back spasms kept IF Cheslor Cuthbert out of the lineup. … RHP Justin Grimm threw 20 pitches in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Omaha. He allowed a run on a hit and a walk and struck out one in 2/3 of an inning. He is on the disabled list with lower back stiffness.

UP NEXT

Rays: RHP Jake Faria, who has allowed one or no runs in four of last six starts, is the probable starter for the series finale.

Royals: RHP Jason Hammel will be making his first start since allowing nine runs on Friday at Cleveland.

Lady Indians soccer advances with shutout

Posted on


By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

HAYS, Kan.-The Hays High Lady Indians used another strong defensive effort in their 2-0 win over Augusta in the 4-1A Regional Semifinals on Monday evening in Hays. Savannah Schneider struck first in the 19th minute. Schneider used a strong left foot and put the ball just inside the the far right post for the 1-0 lead. That score would remain at the half.

The Lady Indians scored their second goal of the match off the right foot of Allison Shubert. The freshman used a nice run out down the right side of the field and ended it with a blast into the back of the net to give Hays the 2-0 lead. Augusta would never really threaten the rest of the way.

Hays High improves to 10-6-1 on the season. Eight of those 10 wins have been via the shutout. The Lady Indians will travel to Mulvane Thursday at 5pm to face the Wildcats. They were 4-0 winners over Arkansas City on Monday.
