Hello and happy Monday everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine.

Over the weekend Kansas Wesleyan’s baseball team participated in this year’s KCAC Baseball Tournament, and finished runner up after a wild three-day run.
The Coyotes entered bracket play as the top seed, and quickly dispatched Evangel 5-1, but fell in a shock upset at the hands of McPherson.
A two-win Saturday would keep the Coyotes in the hunt, and the team would follow it with an elimination win over McPherson on Sunday, but Oklahoma Wesleyan would pull out the win, and the tournament title 6-4.
Despite that, the win over McPherson was an historic one for the Coyotes, who set a new record 44 wins in a single season.

Keeping things on the diamond, Abilene’s Maddie Murray hit two home runs against Chapman over the weekend to break the Cowgirl single season home run record, extending her total to seven this season.

And finally with a sweep of Beloit last week the Sacred Heart baseball team has officially won the NCAA outright with a perfect 10-0 record.
The Knights closed out the regular season 18-2 ranked as the #3 team in Class 1-2A.
Regional brackets are now out for all of our area teams, for more information head over to KSHSAA.org
