⚾ HHS defeats TMP-Marian in Diamond Classic opener

By DAVE SKRETTA&nbsp; AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have come from behind for 11 of their 21 wins this season.

Their victory Thursday in Kansas City was a little unique.

The Orioles raced to a seven-run lead before watching the Royals wipe it out, then pull ahead in the seventh inning. But once more embodying poise under pressure, Ramon Urias hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning and added a two-run double in the ninth, allowing Baltimore to escape with a 13-10 victory and its seventh straight series win.

“We fight. We fight every game” said Urias, who entered as a pinch hitter. “Every guy is involved with what we're doing.”

That includes Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander, who hit homers, and Cedric Mullins, who had a bases-loaded double that helped the Orioles run out to an 8-1 lead by the bottom of the third inning.

The Royals fought back and pulled ahead on Bobby Witt Jr.'s single in the seventh, but Aroldis Chapman (1-2) promptly walked the first two batters in the eighth. Adam Frazier moved up on a balk and joined Jorge Mateo in stealing bases before Urias hit a single through the left side of a drawn-in infield to give the Orioles the lead again.

Yennier Cano (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for Baltimore, one of the few solid outings by a reliever. Felix Bautista coughed up a run in the ninth before striking out Witt and Hunter Dozier to end the game with runners at second and third.

“The offense did a great job, especially starting off the game,” said Orioles starter Grayson Rodriguez, who allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings. “This team has a lot of fight in it."

Freddy Fermin hit his first career homer, Salvador Perez added a two-run shot and Kyle Isbel went deep for Kansas City before his tying bunt in the seventh inning, when he beat out the throw but strained his hamstring crossing the bag.

He was undergoing an MRI exam after the game, adding injury to another insulting loss for the Royals.

“Somebody has to take it,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of the back-and-forth game. “They did.”

The Orioles jumped to their big early lead by capitalizing on mistakes.

The first came when Ryan Mountcastle hit a high two-out popup down the right-field line in the first inning. Three Royals converged on it, but MJ Melendez, who has stopped catching so he can focus on playing the outfield, was unable to make the basket catch. Santander followed the error with his homer off Jordan Lyles over the right-field wall.

In the third, Lyles loaded the bases on a single, walk and hit batter before Mullins cleared them with a double.

Then in the fifth, after Lyles once again got the first two outs, he walked Frazier and uncorked a wild pitch that led to Mateo's run-scoring single. Henderson followed with his two-run shot to give Baltimore its 8-1 lead.

Rodriguez served up Fermin's leadoff homer in the third and another to Perez, the 100th for the veteran catcher at Kauffman Stadium, moving him into a tie with Mike Sweeney and trailing only George Brett for the most in club history.

In the fourth, Isbel went deep before Vinnie Pasquantino followed Fermin's first career triple with a run-scoring single that pulled the Royals within 8-6. They got within a run in the fifth on Michael Massey's double, Isbel tied the game in the seventh on his bunt, and Witt drove in the go-ahead run for Kansas City two batters later.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said C Luis Torrens, acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, will likely join the team “sometime this weekend,” when they play a series in Atlanta.

Orioles LF Austin Hays was out of the starting lineup for the second straight day, though Hyde said he was available off the bench. Hays has been dealing with a sore right middle finger. Kyle Stowers again took his place.

The Orioles face the Braves with RHP Dean Kremer (2-1, 6.67 ERA) on the mound for Friday night's opener. The Royals remain at Kauffman Stadium fora three-game set against Oakland with RHP Brad Keller (2-2, 3.56) getting the Friday night start.

⚾ Royals rally from seven run deficit, lost to Orioles

By GERARD WELLBROCK Hays Post

TOPEKA - The Fort Hays State softball team battled the elements and Washburn Thursday at the MIAA Tournament&nbsp;at the Envista Softball Complex but came up short 3-1 to the Ichabods in an elimination game.

The game was delayed for an hour and a half at the start due to lightning then twice after it started for a total of 54 minutes.

The Tigers (31-24) out-hit Washburn seven to four but stranded nine baserunners, five of them in scoring position.

<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/boxscore.aspx?path=softball&amp;id=12633">Box Score</a>

Washburn took the early lead with a run in the bottom of the
first inning. Marrit Mead led off the inning with a single then stole second
base. She scored when the throw from pitcher Bailey Carlson went over the head
of first baseman Lilly Ramirez-Johnson following a come-backer to the mound
with two outs.

The Ichabods (37-15) pushed the lead to 3-0 on Danielle
Schlader’s two-run homer off Savanah Egger with two outs in the third.

The Tigers would score their only run in the top of fourth when
Topeka native Carly Stuke homered to center. FHSU, who stranded runners at
third in each of the first two innings, had a chance in the seventh after Adysen
Burghart led off the inning with a double. Peyton Shepard followed with a
single the left. After Sarah Tiffany reached on a fielders choice, Loren Beggs
struck out and Regan Curry grounded to first to end the game.

Bailey Carlson (11-10) allowed two runs (one earned) on three
hits with one walk and no strikeouts over two innings and took the loss. Egger,
who entered in the third, retried 11 of the 13 batters she faced.

Jaycee Ginter (24-9) pitched four scoreless innings of
relief with two strikeouts and two walks and picked up the win in relief for
Washburn.

The Ichabods will play the loser of the Rogers State vs.
Missouri Southern game which was pushed to Friday due to the weather.

⚾ Tigers place three on All-MIAA list

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed offensive tackle Donovan Smith to a contract for the upcoming season Thursday, adding a veteran to compete for playing time with two open jobs on the offensive line.

The Chiefs were unable to sign franchise left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to a long-term deal, allowing him to become a free agent, and right tackle Andrew Wylie also signed elsewhere in free agency. The Chiefs countered by signing Jawaan Taylor to handle one of the tackle jobs, but that still left an opening at the other tackle position.

Taylor was expected to move from the right side to the left side to protect the blindside of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and that would have allowed oft-injured Lucas Niang to compete with third-round pick Wanya Morris for the right tackle position.

Smith's acquisition could change those plans.

The 29-year-old Smith, who was released by the Buccaneers on March 7, started 124 regular-season games from the moment he became a second-round pick in 2015 through last season. But Smith struggled much of last season, partly due to elbow and foot injuries that caused him to miss four games, and that helped Tampa Bay reach the decision to let him go.

Smith will have to earn the job, of course, but his experience will be a significant factor. Taylor has played just 18 snaps on the left side in his entire career; Smith has played 8,473 during his eight seasons in the NFL.

Niang earned the starting right tackle job in 2021 but struggled with injuries, first a shoulder problem and then a rib injury that caused him to miss four games. He then tore a patellar tendon in Week 17 and was placed on injured reserve.

Morris was a five-star recruit to Tennessee before transferring to Oklahoma, where he played his last two seasons. He also dealt with injuries, missing time with a shoulder problem, before opting out of the Sooners' bowl game this past season.

“I think we’ll have good competition between Niang (and) Wanya, and then I think (Darian) Kinnard has some flexibility, too,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said earlier this week, in discussing the competition along the offensive line.

“I think all three of those guys will bounce in there. Kinnard will go back and forth to tackle and guard, and I think Wanya has some tackle guard-flex,” Veach said. "So I think you’ll see (offensive line) coach (Andy) Heck do a great job of just mixing and matching. Then we get to training camp (and) just let the competition speak for itself.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed offensive tackle Donovan Smith to a contract for the upcoming season Thursday, adding a veteran to compete for playing time with two open jobs on the offensive line.The Chiefs were unable to sign franchise left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to a long-term deal, allowing him to become a free agent, and right tackle Andrew Wylie also signed elsewhere in free agency. The Chiefs countered by signing Jawaan Taylor to handle one of the tackle jobs, but that still left an opening at the other tackle position.Taylor was expected to move from the right side to the left side to protect the blindside of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and that would have allowed oft-injured Lucas Niang to compete with third-round pick Wanya Morris for the right tackle position.Smith's acquisition could change those plans.The 29-year-old Smith, who was released by the Buccaneers on March 7, started 124 regular-season games from the moment he became a second-round pick in 2015 through last season.

🏈 Chiefs sign tackle Donovan Smith to 1-year deal

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — All-American forward Hunter Dickinson, arguably the top player in the transfer portal after deciding to leave Michigan, said in a social media post Thursday that he was headed to Kansas for the upcoming season.

Dickinson chose the Jayhawks after visits to Villanova, Kentucky, Maryland and Georgetown.

The 7-foot-1 center led the Wolverines to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a trip to the Elite Eight as a freshman during the 2020-21 season. Dickinson averaged 18.6 points in helping them reach the Sweet 16 two years ago and 18.5 points and a career-best 9.0 rebounds last season, when he was voted an honorable mention All-American.

“The initial decision for me to enter the portal was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Dickinson said in confirming Wednesday night that he would not return to Michigan, which had been a possibility. “The thought of potentially leaving the place I love and called home for three years was and is extraordinarily difficult to process. After conversations with my family and a lot of time in thought, I realized entering the portal was the best decision for myself and my future."

Dickinson had been quiet throughout his closely watched recruitment, though he did say on the “RoundBall” podcast this week that deciding where he would play next season had been weighing heavily on him.

“If I knew where I was going, I would have happily made the decision sooner,” he said. “I really am struggling trying to pick a school. The good thing about all this is, all my options, I feel like if I went there, I would succeed. But it’s just trying to figure out which one out of them is the best and the one I’m most comfortable at, stuff like that.”

With him in the fold, the Jayhawks suddenly become one of the national title favorites heading into next season. They return starting point guard Dajuan Harris Jr., versatile forward KJ Adams and have added former five-star guard Arterio Morris from Texas and Towson sharp-shooter Nick Timberlake to go with one of the nation's best freshman classes.

Elmarko Jackson and Jamari McDowell are 6-foot-3 guards capable of running the point or playing off the ball, Chris Johnson is a touted 6-6 wing and Markus Adams Jr. is a 6-8 inside-outside forward. Jackson and Johnson are both top-10 prospects.

🥎🎙️ LISTEN - FHSU softball vs. Washburn at MIAA Tourneament

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vinnie Pasquantino homered and drove in three runs, Zack Greinke won for the first time since last August and the Kansas City Royals snapped a 10-game home losing streak by beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-0 on Wednesday night.

Greinke (1-4) won for the first time in 14 starts, allowing just three singles in five innings and striking out three.

“Everything worked good,” Greinke said. “Defense was great, hitting was great, pitching was good. Glad to be getting some outs, not pitching like I did the last couple of times.”

He threw only 44 pitches —- his fewest in a start since tossing 43 for Arizona at Boston on Aug. 14, 2016.

“Just gotta pitch better if you want to pitch more,” Greinke said.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said the decision to remove Greinke when they did was the result of a few factors.

“It’s what we had available in the bullpen tonight," he said, "what we thought about how we matched up the rest of the game, as well as being in the middle of a 16-game stretch and trying to manage innings.”

The Royals won their second home game of the season to improve to 2-13 at Kauffman Stadium.

“It was good to double our win total at home,” Pasquantino said. “Now we just go to tomorrow and try to have good at-bats again.”

Pasquantino homered into the right-field bullpen to give Kansas City a fourth-inning lead in a game that lasted just 1 hour, 59 minutes. He doubled in another run in the sixth to put the Royals up 2-0.

“He believes in himself,” Quatraro said. “He doesn’t care who’s pitching for the other team. Secondly, he controls the zone. And the third part is amazing: He hits all pitches — fastballs up, fastballs down — which is unusual for somebody to be able to cover as much as he does.”

Pasquantino said he simply tries to lock himself in every night.

“Had a game plan against their pitchers and tried to be successful," he said. "And results-wise, it was a successful night.”

The Royals knocked Kyle Gibson (4-1) out with four runs in the seventh – all with two out – highlighted by Pasquantino’s second RBI double.

Gibson allowed six runs and 10 hits over 6 2/3 innings, with no walks or strikeouts — the only start of his career in which he had none in either category.

“I thought he was really good into that seventh inning,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “We were down a couple, he gets an out and then kind of a squibber through the infield and a sac fly, we’re down 3-0.”

Anthony Santander had a pair of singles for the Orioles, who were shut out for the first time since Oct. 1 against the Yankees.

“Bottom line is we didn’t score,” Hyde said. “Tough time offensively tonight.”

LHP Kris Bubic, who will undergo Tommy John surgery, was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Baltimore designated RHP Joey Krehbiel for assignment and acquired C Luis Torrens from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. ... Royals RHP Jose Cuas was optioned to Triple-A Omaha and LHP Austin Cox was selected from Omaha.

RHP Grayson Rodriguez (1-0, 4.07 ERA) will face RHP Jordan Lyles (0-5, 6.11) in the rubber game Thursday. —

⚾ Pasquantino HRs, Greinke wins 1st as Royals top Orioles 6-0

TOPEKA, Kan. – Fort Hays State and No. 4 ranked Central Oklahoma battled to a 2-2 tie through five innings in the opening round of the MIAA Tournament on Wednesday at the Envista Softball Complex. However, a game-changing home run in the sixth allowed the No. 1 seeded Bronchos to pull away late, winning 8-2 over the No. 8 seeded Tigers. UCO improved to 44-6 overall on the season, while the Tigers moved to 31-23 and will battle to stay alive in the tournament on Thursday morning.

<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/boxscore.aspx?path=softball&amp;id=12632">Box Score</a> The Tigers cashed in on a shaky performance in the circle by Jordyn Pipkin at the beginning of the game.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/peyton-shepard/7094">Peyton Shepard</a>&nbsp;drew a walk to open the game, moved up on a sacrifice bunt by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/sarah-tiffany/7088">Sarah Tiffany</a>, stole third base, then came in to score on a wild pitch. FHSU drew three walks in the inning, but was unable to find a hit to do further damage and led 1-0 after a half inning.

UCO evened up the game in the bottom of the second on a solo home run by Shayla Harper, but&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/loren-beggs/7075">Loren Beggs</a>&nbsp;responded in the top of the third with a solo blast of her own to put the Tigers back on top 2-1. A&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/regan-curry/7080">Regan Curry</a>&nbsp;double chased Pipkin from the pitching circle, as Terin Ritz relieved her the rest of the way.

Ritz retired the final 11 Tigers she faced in the game. Miscommunication in the outfield allowed UCO to get the score knotted at 2-2 in the bottom of the third. What should have been the third out of the inning with no runs allowed turned into an RBI triple with a ball falling between Tiger defenders near the wall. UCO broke through with a big blow in the bottom of the sixth when a seeing-eye single up the middle and a swinging dribbler that was just effective as a bunt put two on for UCO. Mikayla Rutland followed with a three-run homer pushing UCO ahead by three at 5-2.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/bailey-carlson/7078">Bailey Carlson</a>&nbsp;relieved&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/softball/roster/savanah-egger/7081">Savanah Egger</a>&nbsp;at that point, but eventually surrendered three straight singles with two outs and a pair of bases loaded walks that allowed the lead to grow to the eventual final of 8-2.

Egger struck out two in her 5.2 innings of work. She moved to 14-9 on the season. Ritz got the victory in 4.2 innings of relief for UCO, now 18-1 on the season. Fort Hays State will face Washburn on Thursday morning at 11 a.m. in the first elimination game of the tournament. The Ichabods are the No. 5 seed in the tournament and fell in the opening round to No. 4 seed Central Missouri.

VICTORIA - 12 years before Leo Schmeidler was born, Darren Windholz signed to play basketball at Dodge City Community College and graduated from Victoria High School. It was 1993.

Fast forward 30 years and Victoria High School senior Leo Schmeidler became the first Knight since then to sign a National Letter of Intent to play collegiate basketball.&nbsp;

The 6'4" point guard averaged 11 points and 3 assists per game this past season. He made 49 three pointers which was top for the team and second in the Central Prairie League.&nbsp;

Schmeidler was Victoria's Co-Defensive Player of the Year.

Longtime basketball coach, but first year Knight head man, Rick Keltner says that "Leo gave us great leadership and was voted most inspirational player by his teammates. He has a great attitude, is an athletic point guard who can dunk and uses his wing span and has a great upside as he continues to get stronger. We are excited to follow the fine basketball program at a quality school like Manhattan Christian."

HAYS - Many times a major injury to a senior in high school signals the end of a career. That certainly could have been the case for Hays High senior Julia Zimmerman.&nbsp;

Playing intramural basketball in February, Zimmerman tore two ligaments in her knee. The senior goalie's season was done before practices ever started.

However, Pratt Community College was still interested. Zimmerman listened and Wednesday signed to play for the Beavers.

Zimmerman was part of back-to-back Western Athletic Conference soccer teams. The Indians control their own destiny over their next two matches in search of a third straight title.

Coach Tyler Rueschoff recalled the first time that Zimmerman played for him. She took a knee to the face which resulted in a hole in her lip. Ten minutes later Zimmerman was back on the field.

⚽HHS blanks Wichita Collegiate

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs are re-signing Jerick McKinnon and declined the fifth-year option on fellow running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on Tuesday, solidifying their backfield behind incumbent Isiah Pacheco heading into offseason workouts.

McKinnon, who turns 31 this week, ran 72 times for 291 yards and a touchdown but was at his best out of the backfield, catching 56 passes for 512 yards and nine scores. McKinnon ended the regular season by reaching the end zone in six straight games, helping the Chiefs secure the No. 1 seed and first-round playoff bye.

McKinnon helped the Chiefs reach the Super Bowl and could have scored there, but he gave himself up at the 2-yard line in the closing minutes. That allowed the Chiefs to hit the winning field goal in a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

“He's certainly a guy that we love and greatly admire,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said Monday.

Edwards-Helaire, a first-round pick in 2020, was the starter heading into last season, but injuries that have held him back throughout his career resurfaced. He missed much of the season with a high ankle sprain, forcing Pacheco to step into the role of lead running back, and the seventh-round draft pick never gave it up.

Edwards-Helaire came off injured reserve for the Super Bowl, but was inactive for the game.

In other news, Veach acknowledged that the Chiefs will begin working with All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones on a contract extension. He's entering the final year of an $80 million, four-year deal, and his salary cap hit is $28 million for this season.

The 28-year-old Jones is coming off perhaps his best season. The four-time Pro Bowl pick matched a career high with 15 1/2 sacks in the regular season, then ended a maddeningly playoff oh-for by picking up his first two postseason sacks.

“I think that's on the list of things to do,” Veach said. “We get into the offseason, and you know, you’re into combine meetings, and then you’re into free agency, and then you’re into the draft. And then after the draft, let the dust settle and start working on the future and things we can get accomplished in the spring.”

Veach indicated that he would like to get an extension done before the Chiefs report to training camp in July.

“We'll get to work and see what we can do,” he said.

There isn't nearly the same time pressure to rework the deal of MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though that could be on the agenda soon. He just completed the first season of a 10-year, $450 million contract, but recent deals — including one signed by the Eagle's Jalen Hurts — already have pushed Mahomes to seventh in the league in average yearly salary.

The benefits of working on Mahomes' contracts are twofold: The Chiefs want to keep him happy by paying him among the top tier of QBs, but they also can create some salary cap flexibility by altering the structure of the deal going forward.

“We're a few years into a long deal,” Veach said, “but at the same time, we have great communication with Pat, so that'll be a situation where we work through all those things. There's no timing from our end because we're in constant communication.”
