Hello and Happy Wednesday everybody it's Tyler Henry back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports M edicine.
On Tuesday it was announced that after a monster performance Kansas Wesleyan slugger Adrian Villalobos has been selected not just as KCAC Player of the Week but as NAIA National Player of the Week as well. And with good reason.
Villalobos helped KWU extend their winning streak to 18 games finishing his five in a week with video game type numbers. The Jr ended of the five games set 13 for 17 at the plate with six homeruns- 15 driven in and a batting average of .785 to go with a slugging percentage of 1.94.
Speaking of baseball after a bit of a slow start, the Kansas City Royals have rallied and thanks to a Salvador Perez game-winning single last night defeated the Astros to win their fifth straight game. The run began with a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox and could continue tonight as the Royals host the Houston Astros for game two of the series at 6:40 p.m.

And finally, more locally last night the Southeast of Saline and Sacred Heart tangled on the both diamonds in a pair of doubleheader sets splitting the two right down the middle.
SES softball rolled their rival with wins of 12-2 and 16-0. While the second-ranked nights of Sacred Heart remained undefeated with victories of 7-0 and 7-4.
All four games were broadcast on this a lot of posts and are now available to watch on demand. That's all for your sports update for today. But for even more great area sports content like this, check out Salina Post Sports and stay tuned to 910 KINA.
