🎧 Eagle Radio, Hull sports broadcast schedule

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – On the heels of moving into the Top 25 of the national rankings, No. 22 ranked Fort Hays State posted a dominant 5-0 win over previously ranked Maryville University on Thursday night at Children's Mercy Victory Field at Swope Soccer Village. The Tigers moved to 3-0 overall on the season, while Maryville fell to 0-2-1 to start the year.&nbsp;

Bastian Carlman&nbsp;netted a hat trick to provide the first three scores for FHSU, then Anders Sandsto&nbsp;put the finishing touches on the win with the final two.

The Tigers picked up their first-ever win over Maryville after going 0-2-1 in their first three tries. The Saints made it to the national quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament in both 2022 and 2023 before holding a No. 12 preseason national ranking this year.

The Tigers made a habit of grabbing a quick lead at Children's Mercy Victory Field after scoring their game-winning goal on Sunday against Upper Iowa in the first minute. It took just 3:39 this time for Carlman to find the back of the net, assisted by Tadhg Walsh. That goal set the tone for what turned into a big night for Carlman and the Tigers offensively as they went on to outshoot the Saints 25-9.In the 33rd&nbsp;minute, Carlman struck again by putting home a rebound off an Elias Ovelar Semeniuk&nbsp;shot that hit the crossbar. The Tigers took a 2-0 advantage into halftime and didn't take their foot off the pedal in the second half. After holding a strong 12-3 advantage in shots through one half, it was more of the same from the Tigers in the second half with a 13-6 advantage.

The final three goals for the Tigers came in a bundle over about a six-minute span from 77:07 to 82:55 expired in the match. Carlman became the ninth player in program history to record a hat trick scoring the first of three second half goals. It was the second-straight year the Tigers had a player record a hat trick after Blake Arndt&nbsp;accomplished the feat against Ouachita Baptist last year. Just over two minutes later, Sandsto&nbsp;notched his first goal of the season on an assist from Collin Hershberger. Sandsto added another score in the 83rd&nbsp;minute off an assist from Siem Duijs.

To go with the offensive outburst, the Tigers put up another strong defensive effort holding an opponent under 10 shots for the third-straight match. FHSU allowed only one shot on goal again for the second-straight match, saved by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/jorge-valentin/8378">Jorge Valentin</a>&nbsp;in the 83rd&nbsp;minute just before the fifth and final goal of the match. Valentin and the Tigers picked up their second-straight clean sheet. FHSU has allowed only four shots on goal through three matches.

The Tigers will rest up for a week before a big matchup with No. 7 ranked Midwestern State next Thursday in Texas. The match will be the first of a pair for FHSU in Wichita Falls as they are set to meet Eastern New Mexico two days later.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Tigers moved to 3-0 overall on the season, while Maryville fell to 0-2-1 to start the year.&nbsp;Bastian Carlman&nbsp;netted a hat trick to provide the first three scores for FHSU, then Anders Sandsto&nbsp;put the finishing touches on the win with the final two.The Tigers picked up their first-ever win over Maryville after going 0-2-1 in their first three tries. The Saints made it to the national quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament in both 2022 and 2023 before holding a No. 12 preseason national ranking this year.The Tigers made a habit of grabbing a quick lead at Children's Mercy Victory Field after scoring their game-winning goal on Sunday against Upper Iowa in the first minute. It took just 3:39 this time for Carlman to find the back of the net, assisted by Tadhg Walsh. That goal set the tone for what turned into a big night for Carlman and the Tigers offensively as they went on to outshoot the Saints 25-9.In the 33rd&nbsp;minute, Carlman struck again by putting home a rebound off an Elias Ovelar Semeniuk&nbsp;shot that hit the crossbar. The Tigers took a 2-0 advantage into halftime and didn't take their foot off the pedal in the second half. After holding a strong 12-3 advantage in shots through one half, it was more of the same from the Tigers in the second half with a 13-6 advantage.The final three goals for the Tigers came in a bundle over about a six-minute span from 77:07 to 82:55 expired in the match. Carlman became the ninth player in program history to record a hat trick scoring the first of three second half goals. It was the second-straight year the Tigers had a player record a hat trick after Blake Arndt&nbsp;accomplished the feat against Ouachita Baptist last year. Just over two minutes later, Sandsto&nbsp;notched his first goal of the season on an assist from Collin Hershberger. Sandsto added another score in the 83rd&nbsp;minute off an assist from Siem Duijs.To go with the offensive outburst, the Tigers put up another strong defensive effort holding an opponent under 10 shots for the third-straight match. FHSU allowed only one shot on goal again for the second-straight match, saved by&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster/jorge-valentin/8378">Jorge Valentin</a>&nbsp;in the 83rd&nbsp;minute just before the fifth and final goal of the match. Valentin and the Tigers picked up their second-straight clean sheet. FHSU has allowed only four shots on goal through three matches.The Tigers will rest up for a week before a big matchup with No. 7 ranked Midwestern State next Thursday in Texas. The match will be the first of a pair for FHSU in Wichita Falls as they are set to meet Eastern New Mexico two days later.&nbsp;&nbsp;

NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a game-ending infield single with one out in the 11th inning and the New York Yankees outlasted the Kansas City Royals for a 4-3 victory Wednesday night.

Juan Soto launched a go-ahead homer in the sixth for the Yankees, who increased their advantage in the AL East to 1 1/2 games over Baltimore. New York has held the lead since Aug. 21 but hasn't led by more than two games during that stretch.

Shortly before Chisholm came through, the Orioles lost 5-3 in 10 innings at Fenway Park when Tyler O’Neill hit a walk-off homer for Boston.

Chisholm came up with runners on first and third after Kris Bubic (0-1) intentionally walked Aaron Judge following a groundout by Soto that sent automatic runner Jon Berti from second base to third.

With the infield playing in, Judge advanced to second on defensive indifference and Chisolm slapped a 2-1 slider toward shortstop. Bobby Witt Jr. made a diving stop on his backhand, but an off-balance throw from his knees was wide of the plate. Berti, who was pinch running, scored easily with a headfirst slide.

“Honestly, I was looking for a pitch that I could get through a hole or get to the outfield to score anybody on third base,” Chisholm said. “I was willing to pass the baton if I didn’t get a pitch to hit.”

Chisholm batted cleanup for the second time since being acquired from the Miami Marlins on July 27. It was his first career walk-off hit and he was doused in water during the celebration while getting mobbed by teammates near second base.

Luke Weaver (5-3) struck out three in 1 2/3 hitless innings for the win.

New York took two of three in a series between playoff contenders. Kansas City fell 4 1/2 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central but holds the league’s second wild card by 1 1/2 games over Minnesota.

“This is a big series win for us against a really good club over there that threw a lot of good pitching at us,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.

The teams traded runs in the 10th. Royals pinch-runner Darion Blanco stole third base and scored on Jake Cousins’ wild pitch. In the bottom half, pinch-hitter Austin Wells tied it with a sacrifice fly.

“It was a tense game,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “It was tight. It was well pitched on both sides.”

Soto hit a two-run homer off Cole Ragans to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead, two pitches after fouling a ball off his right ankle in the sixth. The slugger doubled over in pain, but stayed in the game after getting checked by head athletic trainer Tim Lentych. Soto fouled off another pitch off before sending a 402-foot drive to right field.

“You really get mad when you hit yourself,” Soto said. “It’s just the way it goes. I’m not mad at the pitcher or anything. Just mad at myself, but when you come through like that, it just feels a little relief.”

Soto said he felt the pain when he homered but was feeling better after the game.

“He’s got that theatric thing down pretty good here,” Boone said.

Salvador Perez hit a tying sacrifice fly off Clay Holmes in the seventh and started an impressive double play to end the bottom half.

With runners on first and second, Jose Trevino hit a high chopper to the first baseman and Perez reached to barely tag Trevino on the back of his jersey. Perez then pivoted quickly and made a strong throw to catcher Freddy Fermin, cutting down Anthony Volpe at the plate.

Kansas City challenged the safe call at first, which was overturned following a brief replay review.

Ragans allowed two runs and three hits in six innings. He struck out seven and moved ahead of Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal for the American League lead in strikeouts.

“I don’t think that they’re any better than us,” Ragans said. “We believe in ourselves. I think we’re a good team. We’re a playoff team. They’re a good team, they’re a playoff team. It’s a good matchup, it was a good three games.”

Yankees rookie Luis Gil permitted one run and five hits over five innings in his second start following a stint on the injured list due to a back injury.

Michael Massey homered in the fourth against Gil, who struck out MJ Melendez with two on to end the fifth.

Royals: RHP Michael Lorenzen (strained left hamstring) will make his next minor league rehab start this weekend and could return to the rotation next week. Lorenzen threw 38 pitches over 1 2/3 shaky innings Tuesday night for Double-A Northwest Arkansas and felt fine afterward, Quatraro said.

Royals: Had not announced a starter for the opener of a three-game series at Pittsburgh on Friday. RHP Luis Ortiz (6-5, 3.26 ERA) will pitch for the Pirates.

NEW YORK (AP) — Seth Lugo struck out 10 in seven masterful innings and Salvador Perez hit two run-scoring singles to reach 100 RBIs for the second time as the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees 5-0 on Tuesday night.

Tommy Pham homered and Bobby Witt Jr. had an RBI single for the Royals, who began the night trailing first-place Cleveland by 3 1/2 games in the AL Central. They held a 2 1/2-game edge over Minnesota for the second AL wild card.

New York came in 1 1/2 games ahead of second-place Baltimore atop the AL East.

Lugo (16-8) carved up a full-strength Yankees lineup that entered leading the majors in homers and ranked second in runs. The right-hander allowed only three singles and walked none, retiring 17 straight batters after Gleyber Torres' bloop hit to begin the bottom of the first.

Torres snapped the string on another soft single with two outs in the sixth.

Kris Bubic and John Schreiber completed the three-hitter, as Lugo tied Atlanta ace Chris Sale and Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal for the major league lead in wins.

The right-hander outpitched former Mets teammate Marcus Stroman (10-8), who permitted three runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

No. 9 batter Kyle Isbel scored twice after leadoff singles for the Royals, who had dropped six consecutive road games. They won for the fifth time in 13 games overall and improved to 2-4 against the Yankees this season.

Royals: RHP Michael Lorenzen (left hamstring strain) was scheduled to pitch about three innings in a rehab outing with Double-A Northwest Arkansas. He could rejoin the big league rotation after that. ... LHP Will Smith (back spasms) planned to throw another bullpen at less than full intensity. "He’s still not completely symptom-free in his back. But he’s working through the bullpens,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “It’s improving, it’s just not completely resolved.”

Yankees: Manager Aaron Boone didn't rule out a return this season for infielder DJ LeMahieu (right hip impingement), but also said he wouldn't count on it, either.

All-Star LHP Cole Ragans (11-9, 3.33 ERA) starts for Kansas City against rookie RHP Luis Gil (13-6, 3.24) in the rubber match of the three-game series Wednesday night.

The first Royals lefty with 200 strikeouts in a season, Ragans pitched six shutout innings to beat Minnesota last Friday night. Gil returned that day from a lower back strain that landed him on the injured list and threw six innings of one-hit ball in a 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
