SES takes home first and fourth at Marion relays

CONCORDIA – Defensive struggles accounted for 13 errors as the Cloud County Community College softball team would drop a pair of home games by scores of 7-3 and 12-5 to Neosho County Community College at the CCCC Softball Field in Concordia on Sunday. Following the defeats, Cloud County slips to 6-14 overall and 1-12 in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference while the Panthers improved to 15-16 and 5-5 in the KJCCC. Game one Grabbing an early lead, the T-Birds would push across three runs in the bottom of the first as a leadoff triple from&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d1004&amp;c=E,1,u7VmDaGiFxXkvv13GgqP1vQuUrXvrQZuVlmSIpv3exk3caZIDKfgST5ihGpcUhd-l5PNEqyGKKL5D5_KyZ3YG9GCOiXKIsA-JCv0ftiCcgSk6Trvds9-_JUfvysM&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Kayla Lee</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d1001&amp;c=E,1,du7pgFn0no_Bbyt7wuSx42O1RntOAHcBy-MMlwoQA7gjPD19Er66gjbj2H-mC_dPXuWNpCJFIJLqtZVK2UuzPUgq8MrS13cx_VTGKZNOOfMj7Hll_X3kros,&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Shayna Fila</a>&nbsp;walk would set up a double-steal from CCCC as both runners would advance a base and beat throws to put Cloud County up 1-0. Freshman catcher Taylor&nbsp; Glause would then leave the ballpark with a two-run home run to right center field as the first three batters of the game for CCCC would reach base as part of a hot start from the T-Birds. Neosho would respond by working around a walk to with three strikeouts to end the inning as Cloud County would be forced to settle for the three runs. A fielding error to lead off the top of the second inning along with a pair of wild pitches would allow NCCC to get a run back in the inning as CCCC would go down in order to send things to the third holding a 3-1 lead. Another error by Cloud County with one out in the third would be mixed in with three singles as Neosho would push across a pair of unearned runs to tie things up despite leaving a pair of runners on base. The T-Birds would have a chance to reclaim the lead in the bottom of the inning with a one-out and two-out single to put runners on the corners,&nbsp; but the Panthers would return the favor as a strikeout would strand two runners for CCCC and keep things tied heading to the fourth. Scoreless fourth and fifth innings would keep things at a 3-3 contest as neither team would be able to do much offensively in the middle innings. A one-out bunt single and throwing error would allow Neosho to put a go-ahead run on second in the top of the sixth as a second error in the inning would allow the run to score and give NCCC a 4-3 lead.

Three insurance runs by Neosho would all but put the game out of reach in the top of the seventh as the Panthers would lead things off with back-to-back solo home runs. An RBI single with two outs would bring home one final run for NCCC as Cloud County would get a one-out walk from Lee but be unable to keep the rally going as Neosho would manage to earn the come-from-behind victory. Driving in two of CCCC's three runs would be Glause in a two-for-four effort at the plate with one of Cloud County's four extra-base hits. The Malcolm, Nebraska native would also throw out the only stolen base attempt of the game by Neosho to help the cause defensively as well. Game two Two hits and a walk would lead to a single run for Neosho to get things started in game two as the Panthers would take the early lead before stranding a pair of runners to end the inning. Cloud County would work a pair of walks in their half of the inning to put two runners on but an infield pop out would end the inning as NCCC would hold a 1-0 lead after an inning of action. Things would stay a 1-0 Neosho lead until the bottom of the third as Cloud County would use a Lee leadoff single and stolen base to set things up for Glause who would hit an RBI standup double to tie things up at 1-1. The Panthers would manage to retire the next two batters in order to get out of the inning without any more damage as the pitcher's duel would continue into the fourth.

Three more runs would eventually come around to score with two coming on a two-run home run as the final tally in the inning would be eight runs on eight hits and an error for the Panthers to go up 11-4 for their largest lead of the day.

A sacrifice fly from Lee would bring home Exon before a fielder's choice and groundout would end the inning in what looked to be a promising chance at getting back into the contest with momentum completely killed off by NCCC. A fielding error and one-out double would allow the Panthers to get the run back in the top of the seventh to go back up by a seven-run margin as Cloud County would be down to their final three outs and go down in order with a groundout and two fly outs to end the game and allow Neosho to sweep the first of two doubleheaders this year between the two teams. Lee would finish the game going two-for-two in the leadoff spot while also adding two stolen bases and an RBI as the Kearney, Nebraska native would score twice. Glause would have her second-straight two-for-four outing with a pair of RBI's while Hartwig and Caudill would account for the other two runs driven in. What's next? The T-Birds are back at home to close out back-to-back home doubleheaders with a 2 p.m. tilt against Cowley Community College on Thursday. Cowley swept a doubleheader from Cloud County back on March 21 as CCCC will look to earn their first win against the Tigers this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fielding woes the undoing of Cloud County softball vs Neosho

CHICAGO (AP) — Michael A. Taylor scored when Garrett Crochet misplayed Andrew Benintendi's bunt in the 10th inning, sending the Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. 

Taylor opened the 10th on second base and advanced on Nicky Lopez's sacrifice. After Whit Merrifield was walked intentionally, Benintendi bunted the ball right back to the mound. It looked as if Crochet had time to get Taylor at the plate, but he spiked his throw and catcher Zack Collins couldn't come up with it. 

It was Chicago's second error of the day and ninth overall in the first nine games.

Taylor helps Royals top White Sox 4-3 in 10 innings

An 11-run inning in the second game by Kansas Wesleyan helped the Coyotes earn a split with the Avila Eagles on Saturday at Salina South High School.

Avila won the first game 7-5 in extra innings, but the Coyotes would get a run-rule shortened 12-2 win in the second.

The 11-run frame nearly saw the Coyotes get through the batting order twice, and the big inning was sparked by an error by Avila.

<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11325">Lauren Blue</a>&nbsp;(SR/Arlington, Texas) walked, and then was safe at second on a fielder's choice by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11788">Jessica Vegely</a>&nbsp;(SR/Mariposa, Calif.) when Avila's second baseman muffed a throw on the play.

The miscue then led to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11787">Kiana Turner</a>&nbsp;(SO/Quapaw, Okla.)'s massive 3-run homer to left. Two batters later,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11336">Brianna McGinnis</a>&nbsp;(JR/Tucson, Ariz.) doubled to score&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11333">Bailey Rivas</a>&nbsp;(FR/West Covina, Calif.).&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11774">Katlyn Acosta</a>&nbsp;(SO/Simi Valley, Calif.) then connected on a 2-run single to right that played&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11779">Miranda Guerrero</a>&nbsp;(SO/Oxnard, Calif.) and McGinnis.

After a Avila pitching change, the hits kept coming for the Coyotes. Blue doubled home two runs, followed by a RBI single by Vegely. Two batters later,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11340">Sydney Brown</a>&nbsp;(JR/Tucson, Ariz.) singled to left to score Turner and Vegely. Back-to-back walks to Rivas and McGinnis loaded the bases, but the Coyotes couldn't get another run across.

The first game of the day was scoreless until the fourth inning when both teams plated a run.

Rivas doubled in the Coyote fourth and then scored on McGinnis' single.

 </figure>An 11-run inning in the second game by Kansas Wesleyan helped the Coyotes earn a split with the Avila Eagles on Saturday at Salina South High School.Avila won the first game 7-5 in extra innings, but the Coyotes would get a run-rule shortened 12-2 win in the second.The 11-run frame nearly saw the Coyotes get through the batting order twice, and the big inning was sparked by an error by Avila.<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11325">Lauren Blue</a>&nbsp;(SR/Arlington, Texas) walked, and then was safe at second on a fielder's choice by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11788">Jessica Vegely</a>&nbsp;(SR/Mariposa, Calif.) when Avila's second baseman muffed a throw on the play.The miscue then led to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/11/11787">Kiana Turner</a>&nbsp;(SO/Quapaw, Okla.)'s massive 3-run homer to left.

FHSU men's track and field posts five provisionals in Wichita

<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11824">Josh Sandoval</a>&nbsp;(SR/Glendale, Ariz.) admits stepping into the batter's box with the bases loaded gives him some extra juice.&nbsp;

"I get a little bit more confidence with every swing I take with the bases loaded," he said Saturday.&nbsp;

Sandoval, Kansas Wesleyan's catcher and clean-up hitter, has been brimming with confidence this season with three men on as evidenced by his amazing success. Facing Bethany's Chase Lorg, one of the top pitchers in the Kansas Conference, with the bases loaded in the second inning Sandoval sent a fastball well over the center field wall at Dean Evans Stadium that gave the Coyotes a 6-0 lead – his fourth grand slam of the season.

Pitchers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11821">Oscar Sanchez</a>&nbsp;(JR/Celina, Texas) and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11812">Dylan Epke</a>&nbsp;(FR/Wichita, Kan.) made it stand as KWU cruised to a 7-2 victory in the second game of the doubleheader. Bethany won the first game 3-2.&nbsp;

The victory was No. 200 for Wesleyan coach&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10933">Bill Neale</a>, who's in his seventh season. The Coyotes improved to 24-11 overall and 16-5 in the conference.&nbsp;

Sandoval's blast was redemption of sorts after going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in the first game against Bethany starter Manuel Rodriguez.&nbsp;

"The grand slam was awesome," Neale said. "Sandy had a tough first game, but he kept coming to the plate and he looked like the same guy. He looked like he was 4-for-4, he was confident, had the same walk, did everything the same. He stuck to his game plan and got a mistake and hit it out of the yard for his fourth grand slam."&nbsp;

Sandoval also had a single and walk in the second game as the Coyotes had 10 hits against Lorg, who had a feast or famine outing. He allowed seven earned runs on the 10 hits but also struck out 13 in six innings.&nbsp;

"We knew coming in we were going to need to get some runners on and come up with a big hit because we're probably not going to string big innings together," Neale said. "And our guys did it."&nbsp;

KWU took a quick 2-0 lead in the nightcap when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10977">William Dryburgh</a>&nbsp;(SO/St. Joseph, Mo.) led off the bottom of the first with a single and promptly scored on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11807">Haydn Brown</a>&nbsp;(SR/Gardnerville, Nev.)'s towering homer to right.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11828">Sisipako Vehikite</a>&nbsp;(JR/Santa Clara, Calif.) singled,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10970">Spencer Keane</a>&nbsp;(JR/Palm Springs, Calif.) was hit by a pitch and Brown walked in advance of Sandoval's big fly in the second.&nbsp;

Bethany scored twice in the fourth inning but KWU got one back in the fifth when Sandoval walked. Courtesy runner&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11825">Nicholas Erickson</a>&nbsp;(JR/Las Vegas, Nev.) went to third on an errant pick-off throw and scored on Vehikite's two-out single.&nbsp;

Brown had three hits, scored twice and drove in two in the game. Sandoval and Vehikite had two hits each.&nbsp;

Sanchez, the KCAC Pitcher of the Week this week, started and was superb for 5.1 innings before departing with an arm injury. He allowed one earned run on four hits, struck out four and walked one in getting the victory. Epke allowed one hit over the final 1.2 innings.&nbsp;

"It's shame if there's anything seriously wrong with him because he's done such a good job, he's arguably our most valuable pitcher all year." Neale said of Sanchez, who was a reliever before stepping into a starting role in place of the injured&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10955">Jansen Lublin</a>&nbsp;(FR/San Diego, Calif.). &nbsp;

Neale also praised Epke, who threw strikes on nine of his 12 pitches.&nbsp;

"There's no moment too big for him and he throws so many strikes," he said. "He had an outing a week or two ago where he got three outs and didn't throw a single pitch for a ball in the inning. He's everything a coach wants."&nbsp;

Sandoval said winning the second game was essential after the opener.&nbsp;

"It was definitely big," he said. "It was a struggle in the first one to get anything going. It was great that we got that second game going and were able to hit better."&nbsp;

KWU starter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11818">Trent Dewyer</a>&nbsp;(JR/Albuquerque, N.M.) and Rodriguez dominated the opener.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10956">Dalton Bishop</a>&nbsp;(JR/Colorado Springs, Colo.)'s solo homer to center in the bottom of the fifth inning gave KWU a 1-0 lead and was the first hit of the game for either team.&nbsp;

Bethany scored three in the top of the sixth on Braden Scrivner's homer and Hunter Roe's two-run double. &nbsp;

KWU made it 3-2 in the eighth when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10935">Austin Cross</a>&nbsp;(JR/Montgomery, Texas) led off with a double and scored on Brown's two-out single – his second hit of the game. But the Coyotes stranded runners at second and third in the inning and did so again in the ninth against reliever Taylor Grider.&nbsp;

Dewyer gave up three runs, two earned, on seven hits with six strikeouts and two walks in seven innings.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10960">Ethan Wilson</a>&nbsp;(JR/Thackerville, Okla.) pitched two perfect innings, striking out four in the process. &nbsp;

Rodriguez allowed two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and a walk in eight innings.&nbsp;

"(Rodriguez and Lorg) are two of the best in the conference and they showed it today," Neale said. "They're strikeout pitchers, they're kind of all or nothing with strikeouts. It was nice to get some key hits in game two."&nbsp;

The Coyotes and Swedes conclude the three-game series with a single, nine-inning game Sunday starting at 1 p.m. at Evans Stadium.&nbsp;

Bethany won the first game 3-2.&nbsp;The victory was No. 200 for Wesleyan coach&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10933">Bill Neale</a>, who's in his seventh season. The Coyotes improved to 24-11 overall and 16-5 in the conference.&nbsp;Sandoval's blast was redemption of sorts after going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in the first game against Bethany starter Manuel Rodriguez.&nbsp;"The grand slam was awesome," Neale said. "Sandy had a tough first game, but he kept coming to the plate and he looked like the same guy. He looked like he was 4-for-4, he was confident, had the same walk, did everything the same. He stuck to his game plan and got a mistake and hit it out of the yard for his fourth grand slam."&nbsp;Sandoval also had a single and walk in the second game as the Coyotes had 10 hits against Lorg, who had a feast or famine outing. He allowed seven earned runs on the 10 hits but also struck out 13 in six innings.&nbsp;"We knew coming in we were going to need to get some runners on and come up with a big hit because we're probably not going to string big innings together," Neale said. "And our guys did it."&nbsp;KWU took a quick 2-0 lead in the nightcap when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10977">William Dryburgh</a>&nbsp;(SO/St. Joseph, Mo.) led off the bottom of the first with a single and promptly scored on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11807">Haydn Brown</a>&nbsp;(SR/Gardnerville, Nev.)'s towering homer to right.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11828">Sisipako Vehikite</a>&nbsp;(JR/Santa Clara, Calif.) singled,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10970">Spencer Keane</a>&nbsp;(JR/Palm Springs, Calif.) was hit by a pitch and Brown walked in advance of Sandoval's big fly in the second.&nbsp;Bethany scored twice in the fourth inning but KWU got one back in the fifth when Sandoval walked. Courtesy runner&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11825">Nicholas Erickson</a>&nbsp;(JR/Las Vegas, Nev.) went to third on an errant pick-off throw and scored on Vehikite's two-out single.&nbsp;Brown had three hits, scored twice and drove in two in the game. Sandoval and Vehikite had two hits each.&nbsp;Sanchez, the KCAC Pitcher of the Week this week, started and was superb for 5.1 innings before departing with an arm injury. He allowed one earned run on four hits, struck out four and walked one in getting the victory. Epke allowed one hit over the final 1.2 innings.&nbsp;"It's shame if there's anything seriously wrong with him because he's done such a good job, he's arguably our most valuable pitcher all year." Neale said of Sanchez, who was a reliever before stepping into a starting role in place of the injured&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10955">Jansen Lublin</a>&nbsp;(FR/San Diego, Calif.). &nbsp;Neale also praised Epke, who threw strikes on nine of his 12 pitches.&nbsp;"There's no moment too big for him and he throws so many strikes," he said. "He had an outing a week or two ago where he got three outs and didn't throw a single pitch for a ball in the inning. He's everything a coach wants."&nbsp;Sandoval said winning the second game was essential after the opener.&nbsp;"It was definitely big," he said. "It was a struggle in the first one to get anything going. It was great that we got that second game going and were able to hit better."&nbsp;KWU starter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/11818">Trent Dewyer</a>&nbsp;(JR/Albuquerque, N.M.) and Rodriguez dominated the opener.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10956">Dalton Bishop</a>&nbsp;(JR/Colorado Springs, Colo.)'s solo homer to center in the bottom of the fifth inning gave KWU a 1-0 lead and was the first hit of the game for either team.&nbsp;Bethany scored three in the top of the sixth on Braden Scrivner's homer and Hunter Roe's two-run double. &nbsp;KWU made it 3-2 in the eighth when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10935">Austin Cross</a>&nbsp;(JR/Montgomery, Texas) led off with a double and scored on Brown's two-out single – his second hit of the game. But the Coyotes stranded runners at second and third in the inning and did so again in the ninth against reliever Taylor Grider.&nbsp;Dewyer gave up three runs, two earned, on seven hits with six strikeouts and two walks in seven innings.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/3/10960">Ethan Wilson</a>&nbsp;(JR/Thackerville, Okla.) pitched two perfect innings, striking out four in the process. &nbsp;Rodriguez allowed two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and a walk in eight innings.&nbsp;"(Rodriguez and Lorg) are two of the best in the conference and they showed it today," Neale said. "They're strikeout pitchers, they're kind of all or nothing with strikeouts. It was nice to get some key hits in game two."&nbsp;The Coyotes and Swedes conclude the three-game series with a single, nine-inning game Sunday starting at 1 p.m. at Evans Stadium.&nbsp;--<a href="http://kwucoyotes.com">kwucoyotes.com</a>--

T-Bird men's track sets 3 meet records at Friends University

MANHATTAN –&nbsp;Playing its final home match of the divided 2020 schedule, K-State was unable to solve the Iowa State defense as the Cyclones tallied a 1-0 win on Saturday at Buser Family Park.

“They were a lot more aggressive than us today,” said K-State head coach Mike Dibbini about Saturday’s result. “When you look at the foul count here you could tell that their mindset and their urgency and their aggressiveness was disruptive to what we were trying to do. We didn’t compete for the 90 minutes like we are capable of doing. It just looked like we were very reactive today. We couldn’t get going like we normally were going in the last three games. It’s really disappointing but we’ve just got to figure out a way to rebound and get back into it next weekend.”

Iowa State (3-6-4) registered the only goal of the match in the 13th&nbsp;minute. Tavin Hays attempted a shot in a one-on-one scenario, which was blocked by K-State goalkeeper Alaina Werremeyer.

Hays deflected the ball towards the K-State net, but Shannon Dukes cleared the attempt off the line. Dukes’ clearance, however, ricocheted off of Hays and into the open net.

“It was a slip through ball,” said Werremeyer about the Cyclone tally. “They are really good at those, that’s what they were looking for all game. I got out and got as big as I could and it deflected off of me and right back to her right where she needed it at her feet. And then the same thing happened with Shannon (Dukes). It was unfortunate but her work ethic was good.”

K-State (3-8-2) registered seven shots on the afternoon, with six coming in the first half with the north wind at their backs. The Wildcats put four on frame, including a pair from Bailey Nemechek. Werremeyer ended the match with six saves, her fourth match this season with five or more saves.

The Wildcats will conclude the 2020 schedule on April 17 as the Wildcats travel to Norman, Okla., to face Oklahoma at 1 p.m.

K-State women's soccer drops home finale to Iowa State

OTTAWA –&nbsp;Ottawa outscored Kansas Wesleyan 27-7 in the second half as the Braves would come away with a 47-19 win over the Coyotes on Friday night at AdventHealth Field.

Ottawa got on the board first with 8:11 to go in the first quarter, but the Coyotes scored with 1:53 to go in the first as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/33/11755">Sabrina Saldate</a>&nbsp;(JR/Las Vegas, Nev.) would run for eight yards before lateralling to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/22/33/11757">Brianna Hernandez-Silva</a>&nbsp;(JR/Las Vegas, Nev.) for the final three yards of the play to score making it 7-6 after the failed conversion.

The Braves scored again with 5:59 left in the second quarter, and Wesleyan quickly responded on the next drive.

LAWRENCE – Kansas forward Jalen Wilson has announced that he has declared for the 2021 NBA Draft.

“I am grateful to say that with prayer and discussion with Coach (Bill) Self and my family, I will test the NBA draft process,” said Wilson.

Wilson will retain NCAA eligibility while testing the draft process. Per NCAA rules, student-athletes can participate in the NBA draft process if withdrawn by July 19.

“I am excited for the opportunity to learn, workout, and receive valuable feedback on my game that will allow me to make a solid decision on whether to remain in the draft, or return to the University of Kansas for my sophomore year,” Wilson said. “I am ready to get to work and have put all things in God’s hands!”

Wilson, a redshirt freshman from Denton, Texas, averaged 12.1 points per game last season and led Kansas with 8.2 rebounds per contest. He appeared in 28 games with 26 starts and was named to the 2021 Big 12 All-Newcomer and Big 12 All-Freshman teams. Wilson was a unanimous choice by the league coaches for the all-freshman squad after posting eight double-doubles this season.

“Jalen had a terrific freshman year and played a critical role in our success,” said Self. “We knew as the season progressed there would be interest in exploring the NBA process. I fully support his decision and know that he will handle this experience properly. Like Ochai, Jalen will keep his remaining eligibility so he has the option to return based on what he learns throughout this process. This will be great for him to learn what people say about him and ways in which he can improve.”

Cloud County would then be unable to do anything with a one-out single in the bottom of the inning but keep KCKCC scoreless in the top of fifth. Looking to add an insurance run, the T-Birds would appear to get a two-out rally going with a walk and hit batter before a wild pitch would move both runners into scoring position as a flyout would strand both runners. The rest of the game would see just one hit coming courtesy of the Blue Devils in the top of the seventh as KCKCC would get a leadoff single and walk to put the game-tying run on base but see a sacrifice bunt, strikeout, and pop out end the game as Cloud County would earn their second shutout of the year.

Going six innings and allowing just two hits and two walks to earn his sixth win of the year would be Dougan as the freshman would face just four batters over the minimum in his outing.

Game two Originally scheduled for a nine-inning contest, mother nature would have other plans in the second game as Cloud County and Kansas City Kansas would have to call things following the conclusion of the seventh inning with rain making its way into the area.

Two scoreless innings to start the game would make way for three runs to come across in the bottom of the third as the first three batters for CCCC in the inning would safely reach base. A leadoff double from Ponce would be followed by a single from&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d232&amp;c=E,1,rhE9tDofHO4KbHjHSsoxpTpv87sl_JrQXreRLuxqrQR9SzWwdENvUn39e5xcTCk-OPx1yJI52HGtQ77x2OGQkxF1wWqX4Hnbvs3wkwDpNfkMlrCZJw8,&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Jaden Parsons</a>&nbsp;to put runners on the corners as Olson would keep things going with an RBI single to keep runners on the corners before stealing second to put a pair of runners in scoring position and a 1-0 T-Bird lead. Beauregard would add a second run with a sacrifice fly while moving Olson to third as Camacho-Soto would follow suit with a second-straight sacrifice fly to make it 3-0 Cloud County heading to the top of the fourth. Five of the next six outs defensively for CCCC would be recorded via strikeout as Wilde would be nearly unhittable through six innings of work. With things remaining a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth, Cloud County would get a leadoff single from Beauregard and a one-out single from Redden to put two runners on for&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d237&amp;c=E,1,jFpfHw7LS7TVG7f9HL3P431RKNhFrms6fSaxWoTiE7G6VSjevmc8q4rCUDwDACpKhaD6KtAxaYDNpB4_-0zgwskzjdZwY1bCeWq2mc6FwG1KvNLjrv-v&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Ian Riley</a>. A fielder's choice and misread on the base paths would end the inning however as the T-Birds would be held scoreless in the inning with a missed opportunity to add to their lead. KCKCC would use a leadoff walk and single to scratch across a single run in the top of the seventh as a double steal would move the runners into scoring position before a wild pitch allowed one run to score. Three strikeouts from Wilde in the inning however would keep Kansas City Kansas from doing any more damage as the lead for CCCC would sit at 3-1 heading to the bottom of the seventh. Three walks, a single, and hit batter would allow Cloud County to push across two runs in the bottom of the seventh as the T-Birds would be able to finish off the inning before the weather would find its way into the area. With the game having reached the minimum length to be considered a full game (five innings) and the two teams not scheduled to play each other the rest of the year, the game would be called with Cloud County taking the four-run victory. &nbsp; An equally impressive outing from Wilde would see the Airdrie, Alberta native throw his first complete game of the year and fourth overall by the T-Bird pitching staff as 13 of the 21 outs recorded by the freshman would be punch outs. Only four batters would reach base for KCKCC, with Wilde allowing three hits and one walk leading to the lone run scored by the Blue Devils. Beauregard would follow up his game-one performance with a two-for-two outing in game two to go along with an RBI and walk to reach base three times while Olson would draw two walks as part of a one-for-two performance with an RBI. Camacho-Soto would drive in a team-best two runs and draw a walk as CCCC would manage to earn five free passes against the Kansas City Kansas pitching staff. What's next Cloud County will be off for the rest of the weekend and is not scheduled to play again until Thursday when the T-Birds host Hutchinson Community College to open a four-game series at 1 p.m. Hutchinson boasts a 21-9 overall record and 15-3 conference mark ahead of a road doubleheader on Saturday at Garden City to close out a four-game series with the Broncbusters in what will be their final action before next Thursday's doubleheader.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Starting pitching leads T-Bird baseball to home sweep

The Salina Liberty soundly defeated the Omaha Beef 39-14 tonight to advance to 2-0 in CIF play on the season.

With another big home win, Salina is off to a dream start, while Omaha falls to 0-1 to begin league play.

The Liberty got the party started early in the first quarter with a 17-yard touchdown run by Tracy Brooks in the opening minutes to take a 7-0 lead.

Salina, led by Brooks, would pour it on in the first, jumping out to a 19-0 start before the end of the quarter.

Brooks would find the end zone two more times before the half, with TD runs of 18 and 4 yards, as Salina entered the intermission leading 26-8.

Omaha made good adjustments defensively, keeping the Liberty out of the end zone in the third quarter, but the Beef didn’t put much up in the way of points as Salina cruised to a victory by a final score of 39-14.

Tracy Brooks finished his evening with 95 yards on 16 carries and a staggering four touchdowns, doubling Omaha's touchdown total all by himself.

The Salina defense held the Beef to under 150 yards of total offense, and tightened things up on special teams as well, a key area of improvement from last week.

The Liberty will be back in action next Saturday when they travel to Wyoming for the teams first road trip of the season.

Trojan softball sweeps Abilene with a pair of 13-3 wins to remain perfect in 2021

By TYLER HENRY Salina Post contributor

The Salina Liberty will continue their run at the CIF crown tonight when the team hosts the Omaha Beef at 6:35pm.

The Liberty enter this game fresh off a 52-27 win over the Wichita Force while this marks the first game of the CIF season for the Beef.

Omaha finished the 2019 season at 8-5 with a playoff berth, and is a perennial contender in the league as one of the longest standing members of the CIF.

“They have a lot of talent and we have to be ready for them,” Liberty head coach Heron O’Neal said. “They have a great roster and great personnel as usual and they are a complete team in all areas.”

Salina looked dominant last week against Wichita, outscoring the Force 28-8 in the second half to begin their season 1-0.

“The best thing I saw from the guys last week was their ability to make adjustments and find a way to win in the second half,” O’Neal said.

While the Liberty excelled on both offense and defense, the special teams unit will have had some work to do this week after allowing Wichita to gain 102 of their 275 yards on kick returns.

Omaha is coached by a former NFL first-round draft pick in former New York Jet Marvin Jones, and should provide Salina with a challenge come game time.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:35pm at the Tony’s Pizza Events Center. The game can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) courtesy of Eagle Radio.

Liberty host Omaha looking for back-to-back wins to begin 2021

The Southeast of Saline Trojan baseball team rode hot bats and dominant pitching to two more wins on Friday to remain a perfect 6-0 on the season.

SES defeated Abilene by final scores of 8-2 and 3-7, extending their winning streak and pushing their run differential to +65 on the young season.

Leadoff hitter Jaxson Gebhardt shined in the Trojans’ 8-2 victory, driving in three big runs while on the mound Landen Allen and Evan Nickelson combined for eight strikeouts, allowing just two runs on eight hits.

Abilene kept the game tied at 0-0 until the fourth inning where the Trojans exploded for five runs and sealed the deal with three more in the sixth.

The Cowboys managed to strike first in game two, taking a 1-0 lead in the first and tying the game at 2-2 in the third before SES rattled off five unanswered runs to complete the win and the sweep.

Pitching once again helped win the day in game two as Eli Harris and Bryant Banks allowed just two earned runs in seven innings of four-hit ball.

The Trojans will be back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Salina to take on rival Sacred Heart in a two-game afternoon.

COFFEYVILLE – Ten runs of support in both games one and two would not be enough for the Cloud County Community College softball team as host Coffeyville Community College would take a pair of games by scores of 13-10 and 18-10 at LeClere Park in Coffeyville on Thursday. Cloud County is now 6-12 overall and 1-11 in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference while the Red Ravens improve to 5-15 overall and 4-8 in the KJCCC.

A big inning from the Red Ravens in the bottom of the fourth would prove to be costly for Cloud County as Coffeyville would see eight straight batters reach after a leadoff groundout with a three-run home run from Tyra Owl proving to be the big blow. In total, CCC would wind up pushing across seven runs to go up 10-5 and double up the T-Birds heading to the top of the fifth. Needing to chip away at the Red Raven lead, Cloud County would get a run back in the top of the fifth with a leadoff single from&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d997&amp;c=E,1,YWTCEjgz4ZSSyMiy117vG_gZlZyYrXlkNv02yhA2eiJAWjmXI-PMA9moERDgeDv_ATELtyRM0-aBQb4PXC8PfPurL9naY34xDGGt7F0uPeU7QRA6_0f-nA,,&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Taylor Burks</a>&nbsp;who would come around to score on an&nbsp;<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fcloudtbirds.com%2froster.aspx%3frp_id%3d998&amp;c=E,1,2JN1CLzvHe0JrdZ-GnRr_CoC6C-4FuSHI51f2nCxa0mEO3Tf55ijL3xyK3Uf-ek-eYPeS7hHvswnasIpGaC0HcigID0C4Z1mAXTA-3HZhkWoDdvie8TvZsCWRblM4g,,&amp;typo=1" target="_blank">Ella Caudill</a>&nbsp;double.

Dunaway would then work an RBI walk to push across a run for CCCC as the T-Birds would go on to score three more runs in the inning on five hits to get back within a run at 11-10. Two insurance runs from Coffeyville however would prove to kill off the momentum that had just swung in favor of Cloud County as the T-Birds would be unable to do anything with a leadoff single in the seventh and drop the opening game that saw a total of 23 runs scored. Hitting four singles to lead Cloud County with four hits in five at bats would be Fila as the Grand Island, Neb., native would also score twice and drive in one run. Exon would drive in a team-high three runs while also producing one of CCCC's three extra-base hits while Burks, Glause, and Caudill would all record multiple hits in the contest. Game two The T-Bird offense would waste no time getting out to a lead in game two as Lee would get the scoring started with a leadoff homer to center field before an error would allow Fila to reach and score on a Glause two-run shot center field to make it 3-0. Cloud County would also get runs to come across from Hartwig, Dunaway, and Exon as Cloud County would score six runs on six hits to take a big lead on the Red Ravens after half an inning of play. A leadoff single and stolen base for Coffeyville would eventually lead to a solo run in the bottom of the first to make it 6-1 as Cloud County would go scoreless in the second before seeing the Red Ravens cut into the lead some more with three runs on three hits. The 6-4 lead for Cloud County would be completely erased in the bottom of the third as Coffeyville would send 11 batters to the plate and score seven runs on just two hits as three walks and two errors would lead to seven unearned runs all with two outs in the inning to put CCC on top by a score of 11-4. Cloud County would return the favor in the top of the fourth with two walks and a single to start the inning kicking off a four-run inning for the T-Birds on just one hit to get back within three at 11-8. Coffeyville however would see their potent offense continue to roll in the bottom of the fourth by pushing across five more runs with a Hayley Rivett three-run home run capping off another big inning for the Red Ravens as two more CCC runs in the bottom of the fifth would end the game early. Unearned runs would again prove to be problematic for CCCC as the T-Birds would see just six of Coffeyville's 18 runs in the game come across as earned. Offensively for Cloud County, Lee and Glause would lead the T-Birds with two hits each to go along with the two home runs for CCCC and two of the four extra-base hits. Glause would be responsible for three of Cloud County's nine RBI's while Lee would add three of CCCC's seven stolen bases. What's next? Cloud County will play the first of back-to-back home doubleheaders on Saturday with a 1 p.m. twin bill against Neosho County Community College. The Panthers swept a road doubleheader from Ottawa University JV on Thursday to improve to 13-16 overall while holding a 3-5 mark in the KJCCC.&nbsp;&nbsp;

LAWRENCE – Kansas basketball’s Ochai Agabji announced today that he has declared for the 2021 NBA Draft.

“First, I would like to thank God for blessing me and giving me the opportunity to wake up every day and play the game I love. Thank you to my family for their love and constant support since day one,” Agbaji said in a statement on Thursday. “By coming to KU, I gained an extended family that I will forever appreciate. From my teammates, to my coaches, support staff and the fans, you are simply the best! Thank you to Coach Self and the entire coaching staff for trusting me and pushing me each and every day. Not only have I become a better player but an even better man.”

Agbaji, a native of Kansas City, Mo., will retain NCAA eligibility while testing the draft waters. Per NCAA rules, student-athletes can participate in the NBA draft process if withdrawn by July 19.

“I will be keeping my NCAA eligibility throughout this process and look forward to hearing from NBA professionals on ways I can improve my game. This is a great opportunity as I work towards my goal of being a professional basketball player,” Agbaji added.

As a junior, Agbaji was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection for the second-straight season, averaging 14.2 points paired with 3.5 rebounds per game. Agabji ranked fourth in the Big 12 in 3-point field goal percentage (38.3%), while leading the conference in 3-point field goals made per game (2.6).

“Ochai and I talked a lot about his basketball future over the past couple of weeks so he could determine what was best for he and his family moving forward,” said head coach Bill Self. “After thinking that through, he made the decision to enter the NBA Draft. He clearly has a skill set that translates well to the professional game, and the NBA draft process will be a great opportunity for him to be evaluated. He will sign with an agent, but will continue follow the guidelines set by the NCAA and NBA to protect his collegiate eligibility. Och will be able to gain great insight on what areas he needs to work on which could improve his draft stock. I know that will be beneficial for him this year before he decides whether he should come back or remain in the NBA Draft process.”
