Hays Post

Girls:  TMP 70, Stockton 52

Stockton opened up the game on Friday night with a 10-2 run and it looked like all the world that TMP was in big trouble.  Lady Monarch Head Coach Rose McFarland called a timeout and everything changed.  The Lady Monarchs went on an 11 to nothing run spanning into the second quarter to take a 13-10 lead.  Stockton would score the next four points to regain the lead at 14-13.

The game of runs would continue as TMP scored the next nine to take the lead for good, 22-14.  The Lady Monarchs led 31-26 at halftime and blew the game open in the fourth quarter, outscoring Stockton 23-8, leading 54-34 and cruised to the 70-52 victory.  Deonna Wellbrock came off the bench to score a career high 19 points to lead TMP who is at home against Plainville on Tuesday night.

Tiger baseball swept by Mules; split series

Posted on

FHSU Athletics

After sweeping a doubleheader against Central Missouri on Thursday, Fort Hays State was swept by Central Missouri on Friday (Feb. 20) in Hays, having to settle for a four-game split in its first conference series of the season. The Tigers are now 2-4 overall, 2-2 in the MIAA, while the Mules are 6-5 overall, 2-2 in the MIAA.

Game 1: Central Missouri 5, Fort Hays State 2
Fort Hays State had a golden scoring opportunity slip through its hands in the first inning and struggled to find offensive rhythm the remainder of the seven-inning contest on Friday. The Tigers loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning, but Kevin Czarnecki lined out to second base and Austin Unrein grounded into a double play to end the threat.

Central Missouri starting pitcher Jake Heissler settled in from that point to hold the Tigers scoreless over four innings. That was long enough for UCM to build a 5-0 lead, scoring two in the second and three in the third, all charged to FHSU starter Gabe Cook, who lasted 2.1 innings. Cook surrendered seven hits and a walk, while striking out one.

FHSU finally got to Heissler in the fifth as Gus Strunk had a RBI double and Alex King had a sacrifice fly RBI, but runners were left at second and third to end the inning. Grant Gavin of UCM picked up the final two outs of the fifth in relief, then went on to retire the side in the sixth and seventh for his first save of the year. Heissler got the win, moving to 2-0.

Joe Mapes and Chase Newman threw in relief for the Tigers. Mapes allowed three hits and struck out two in 2.1 innings of work, then Newman pitched a spotless 1.1 innings of work. Connor Ross  went 2-for-2 at the plate in the game.

Game 2: Central Missouri 7, Fort Hays State 5
The Tigers took a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the top of the first, but UCM matched the output in the bottom half and then went on to lead the remainder of the game after a run in the third in the nine-inning contest.

UCM built a 6-2 lead after three runs in the fourth, but FHSU would mount a rally in the seventh with three runs to cut the lead back to one. The rally ended with a bases loaded fielder’s choice on a grounder. That was as close as the Tigers would get as UCM added an insurance run in the bottom half of the seventh on a FHSU error, making it 7-5.

That was plenty for UCM reliever Trevor Ezell, who recorded his fourth save of the season in 2.1 scoreless innings of work. Ezell did not allow a hit and struck out two. UCM starter Ricky Rivera went 6.2 innings to earn the win, allowing five runs on eight hits with four walks and five strikeouts.

FHSU starter Brad Spires was charged with six runs over 3.1 innings of work, allowing four hits and five walks. He struck out five batters, but took the loss moving to 0-2 on the year. Ty Thomas  entered from the pen to face one batter, then Will Amen, Justin Hersch and Giles Fox combined to pitch the final 4.2 innings and not allow an earned run.

Andre Vieyra and Caleb Cherryholmes each drove in two runs in the game, while Austin Unrein drove in one. Kevin Czarnecki and Gus Strunk each had two hits in the game.

Fort Hays State returns to MIAA play next weekend (Feb. 27-28, March 1) against Washburn University. The four-game conference series is set to begin on Friday in Hays at 2 pm.

FHSU softball wins opener in Minnesota

FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State used a balanced attack of eight hits and strong pitching to knock off Concordia-St. Paul, 9-2, on Friday (Feb. 20) at the Kelly Laas MIAA/NSIC Memorial Softball Invite, held at the Husky Dome.

Paxton Duran (1-2) picked up her first win of the season in a complete game performance, striking out 13 with four walks allowed in seven innings.  Duran kept CU’s bats silent until the fifth, when a single broke up her no-hitter.

Tori Beltz led the Tigers with a 2-for-2 effort at the plate, racking up a home run, two walks and three RBI on the day.  Additionally, Amanda Vaupel (2-for-4) had a home run and two RBI, while Erin Elmore went 2-for-4 with a double.

With one out in the first, Vaupel singled up the middle before moving to third on Elmore’s double.  From there, Beltz drove a 2-2 pitch over the center field fence to give FHSU a 3-0 lead.

After a scoreless second, the Tigers added two more runs in the third off four hits, though they left two on base.  Vaupel led off the inning with a solo shot to right center and was followed by two straight singles from Elmore and Beltz.  After Kylie Strand reached on a fielder’s choice (moving Elmore to third), Samantha Villarreal  singled up the middle to drive Elmore home at give the Tigers a 5-0 advantage.

FHSU added one run in both the fourth and fifth innings to lead 7-0 and put the game on the verge of a run-rule contest. Rilee Krier reached on an error to lead off the fourth, and after stealing second, moved to third on a ground out.  From there, Vaupel hit a deep fly ball to right brought Krier home on the sacrifice.  In the fifth, the Tigers loaded the bases with one out, eventually seeing Villarreal come home as Krier drew a walk.

Leading by seven headed into the seventh, FHSU used a one-out pinch hit single from Jenna Lang to score two.  Madison Putman led off the inning with a walk and after stealing second, saw Gabrielle Sandoval earn a free pass as well.  During Lang’s at-bat, the Tigers put a double steal in motion and moved both runners up a base before Lang drove both runners home on a 2-1 pitch.

Though CU got two runs back in its half of the seventh, FHSU’s lead was too much for the Golden Bears and the Tigers took the win, 9-2.

FHSU returns to the Husky Dome for two more games on Saturday (Feb. 21.  The Tigers are scheduled to take on St. Cloud State at 5 p.m., and Minnesota State-Mankato at 7 p.m.

FHSU sweeps Central Missouri in MIAA opening doubleheader

Posted on

FHSU Athletics

Fort Hays State had a great start to conference play on Thursday (Feb. 19) by sweeping a doubleheader with Central Missouri in Hays at Larks Park. The Tigers cruised to a 9-1 win in game one, but had to hold on in a 9-8 game two thriller. FHSU moved to 2-2 overall and 2-0 in the MIAA, while UCM dropped to 4-5 overall and 0-2 in the MIAA.

FHSU played as the visiting team in both games and will do the same on Friday in the final two games of the series. The series was originally scheduled to take place in Warrensburg, Mo., but the field is unplayable due to snow.

Game 1: Fort Hays State 9, Central Missouri 1
Tyler Patty turned in a dominant pitching performance for the Tigers in the seven-inning contest, throwing a complete game in his first start of the season. Patty retired the first six batters of the game to take command early and held the Mules scoreless for four innings. A groundout RBI in the fifth was the only run he yielded to the Mules before retiring the final six batters of the game. Patty allowed just five hits, struck out four, and did not allow a walk.

Caleb Cherryholmes had a great afternoon at the plate, getting his afternoon kicked off with a three-RBI effort in game one. In the second, he got the Tigers on the board by driving a run home on a fielder’s choice. He triggered a four-run fourth for the Tigers with a RBI single, then had another RBI single in the fifth.

FHSU scored two in the second, triggered by Cherryholmes’ RBI. Gus Strunk also plated a run with a safety squeeze bunt.

After Cherryholmes’ RBI in the fourth made it 3-0, Nick Hammeke pushed the lead to 5-0 with a two-RBI double to the left-center gap. Connor Ross capped the fourth inning with a RBI single to make it 6-0. Cherryholmes pushed the lead to 7-0 with his single in the fifth, then he drew a throwing error from the pitcher in a pickoff attempt at first base, which allowed Andre Vieyra to score from third, making it 8-0.

After UCM broke up the shutout in the bottom of the fifth, Alex King came around from second on a pair of passed balls.

Tyler House took the loss for UCM, allowing six runs over 3.2 innings of work. He moved to 1-2 on the season.

Game 2: Fort Hays State 9, Central Missouri 8
Fort Hays State held on for a thrilling 9-8 win in the nightcap of the doubleheader. FHSU scored three in the top of the ninth and UCM countered with two in the ninth, but Tiger closer Austin Unrein shut the door for his first save of the season.

UCM had the tying run at third and the winning run at second in the ninth after already plating two runs in the inning. On a 3-2 count and first base open, Austin Unrien froze Dylan Farrell with a sharp breaking ball for a strikeout to end the game.

Cherryholmes was the hitting hero in the second game as well. After FHSU took a 7-6 lead in the top of the ninth on a bases-loaded wild pitch with two outs, Cherryholmes pushed a single through the right side to plate runners from second and third making it 9-6. That was the decisive hit in the game.

FHSU had a 6-1 lead after four and a half innings, plating one in the first, three in the fourth, and two in the fifth. But UCM chipped away, getting a run in the fifth and then four in the sixth to get the game tied. The teams went scoreless in the seventh and eighth before the exciting ninth inning.

Cooper Langley  had a three RBI game. His RBI groundout in the first put FHSU on the board, then his two-run home run to right center in the fifth through the teeth of a steady breeze pushed the lead to five. Gus Strunk drove home two on a single in the fourth. Langley scored the other run in the fourth on a wild pitch.

Kyle Vogt picked up the win for FHSU in relief, throwing 2.2 innings. He kept the game tied in the sixth, getting the final UCM out, and went on to pitch 2.2 innings. He got one out in the ninth before turning the ball over to Unrein. Vogt allowed two runs, but just one earned, on three hits and struck out one.

Steven Federau had a solid start for the Tigers, holding the Mules to just two runs over the first five innings. He ran into trouble after one out in the sixth. He finished with four runs (three earned) and five hits allowed with two strikeouts. Giles Fox bridged the gap to Vogt, allowing two runs in 0.1 innings of work.

Lucas Williams took the loss in 2.2 innings of relief for UCM. He picked up the final two outs of the seventh before pitching the entire eighth and ninth innings.

The teams return to action on Friday (Feb. 20) at Larks Park in another doubleheader beginning at 1 pm.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Chris Washburn scored 17 points and TCU beat Kansas State 69-55 on Wednesday night, giving the Horned Frogs consecutive Big 12 victories for the first time since joining the league.

TCU (16-10, 3-10 Big 12) never trailed in the game, but had to hold on after building a 35-15 halftime lead that was bolstered by a 19-0 run over the final 7 1/2 minutes before the break.

This is the third Big 12 season for the Horned Frogs, who went 0-18 in league play a season ago after a 2-16 debut in 2013. They were coming off a 70-55 home win over No. 22 Oklahoma State four days earlier.

Kansas State (13-14, 6-8) scored 11 consecutive points in less than two minutes early in the second half. The Wildcats got as close as 41-35 when Nino Williams made a free throw after a technical foul against TCU with 11:52 left.

Eric Hosmer, Royals agree to $13.9 million, 2-year contract

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – First baseman Eric Hosmer and the Kansas City Royals avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $13.9 million, two-year contract.

Hosmer gets $5.65 million this year under Wednesday’s agreement and $8.25 million in 2016.

The 25-year-old hit .270 for the AL champions with 35 doubles, nine homers and 58 RBIs. He won his second straight Gold Glove.

He made $3.6 million last year and had asked for $6.7 million when the sides exchanged proposed arbitration salaries last month. The Royals had offered $4.6 million.

Kansas City has not gone to a hearing since Dayton Moore became general manager in 2006.

WAKEENEY — After 28 years in the Trego Community school district, Principal Myron Flax is stepping down at the end of the school year.

Flax, who has served as high school principal for the last three years, submitted his resignation to the USD 208 school board last week.

Flax told Hays Post he has accepted the head football coaching position and will teach physical education at St. Marys High School.

Before stepping down as the head football coach in 2013 to take over as principal, Flax coached football at Trego for 15 years.

One of the main reasons for taking the job St. Marys, according to Flax, was that his son is a fifth-grade teacher at the school and will join him on his staff.

Flax said he has enjoyed being in WaKeeney for so many years, but he missed coaching and teaching high school students.

“It’s been a great place. I have absolutely no regrets for coming to WaKeeney and being in WaKeeney for all these years,” he said. “It’s been our home.”

Flax’s contract at Trego ends June 15.

FHSU Athletics

No. 5 Fort Hays State was listed as the top ranked team in the first edition of the NCAA Central Region Rankings for 2015, announced Wednesday (Feb. 18).  Two other versions of the poll will be released weekly leading up the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, held March 8.  The top eight teams in the region advance to the NCAA Regionals, held March 13-15 at a site to be determined.

The Central Region is made up of teams from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) and the Great American Conference (GAC).  Automatic bids are granted to the winners of the postseason conference tournaments, with the final five seeds handed out on an at-large basis.

The Tigers (22-2, 14-1 MIAA) are 18-2 against NCAA Division II teams on the year – with all matchups coming against regional opponents.  FHSU is one of four MIAA schools listed in the rankings, joining Pittsburg State (No. 2), Emporia State (No. 4) and Central Missouri (No. 9) in the rankings.  Four teams from the NSIC are listed in the poll, with Wayne State (No. 3), Minnesota State-Mankato (No. 7), Northern State (No. 8) and Augustana (No. 10) representing the conference. Arkansas Tech (No. 5) and Harding (No. 6) are representing the GAC.

Fort Hays State holds a one-game lead in the MIAA standings over Pitt State and a three-game lead over ESU with four games to go, and has already locked up a first round bye in the MIAA Tournament, held March 5-8.  FHSU is the only team so far in the conference to guarantee itself a spot in the MIAA quarterfinals in Kansas City, Mo.

FHSU hosts Washburn this evening (Wednesday, Feb. 18) for Senior Night at Gross Memorial Coliseum, and closes the regular season with three games on the road.

The complete NCAA Central Region Rankings for Feb. 18 are below…
