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

On Tuesday, the Kansas Wesleyan baseball team got off to an excellent start at the Shreveport regional, knocking off the 2-seed in Concordia 15-8.
The Coyotes saw their advantage disappear in the bottom of the fifth but kept their heads about them scoring nine unanswered runs over the next three innings to take the lead back in a 15-8 victory
K-Dub will face Talledega today in the winners bracket, for more information stay tuned to Salina Post

Yesterday also saw the brunt of our regional baseball and softball coverage, and three of our area teams will be moving on to their respective state tournaments
The Abilene Cowboys proved that this was not their first rodeo, breezing through Winfield 12-2, and Mulvane 7-2 to punch their ticket as the 1-seed to the 4A state tournament in Salina
The path was not as clear for the Salina Central baseball team, who entered the bracket as the 16-seed, but pulled off shock upsets of 12-8 over Maize South, and 3-2 over Hutch to advance to the 5A state tournament
And finally, the Southeast of Saline softball team rolled to a 10-3 win over Ellsworth before holding off Hoisington 2-0 to advance to the 3A tournament in Topeka, both of those games are available on-demand on Salina Post
