HAYS, Kan. - With strong winds gusting upwards of 40 mph and blowing out to left field, the Fort Hays State baseball team dropped a home run derby in its series opener against No. 4 Missouri Southern on Friday, 13-3. The teams combined to club 10 home runs on the day, with all but two runs in the contest coming off a long ball. The Lions led 3-0 after home runs in both the first and second innings before Zach Davis&nbsp;pulled the Tigers within one with a bomb of his own. The left-handed hitting junior poked a 3-1 pitch sailing the opposite way into left field, with the wind helping propel it over the fence and inside the foul pole. Missouri Southern responded with two more home runs in the third to lead 6-2 before starter Zach Berg&nbsp;(3-3) settled in to post zeros over the next three innings. Both teams clubbed solo shots in the seventh, including a drive to straightaway center off the bat of Zane Knox. The visitors tacked on six runs against the Tiger bullpen, while the MSSU relievers kept the Tigers at bay to secure the victory. Berg struck out seven batters over 7.0 innings of work, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks. Knox was 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI and two runs. The Tigers and Lions will resume their series Saturday at Larks Park beginning at 1 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Lions led 3-0 after home runs in both the first and second innings before Zach Davis&nbsp;pulled the Tigers within one with a bomb of his own. The left-handed hitting junior poked a 3-1 pitch sailing the opposite way into left field, with the wind helping propel it over the fence and inside the foul pole. Missouri Southern responded with two more home runs in the third to lead 6-2 before starter Zach Berg&nbsp;(3-3) settled in to post zeros over the next three innings. Both teams clubbed solo shots in the seventh, including a drive to straightaway center off the bat of Zane Knox. The visitors tacked on six runs against the Tiger bullpen, while the MSSU relievers kept the Tigers at bay to secure the victory. Berg struck out seven batters over 7.0 innings of work, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks. Knox was 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI and two runs. The Tigers and Lions will resume their series Saturday at Larks Park beginning at 1 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;

👟 HHS boys win McCook Invitational, girls second

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Twins manager Rocco Baldelli leaned forward in his visiting office, turned over his lineup card for opening day against the Royals and began reading the blue marker scribbled down the back.

“There were a lot of highlights today,” Baldelli said. “I had to make a list.”

The right-hander dominated Kansas City in his Minnesota debut Thursday, outpitching former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke by allowing just two hits while lasting into the sixth inning. Lopez's bullpen took over from there, holding the Royals without another hit to finish off a 2-0 victory at breezy Kauffman Stadium.

“Obviously, I was aware of what the Twins gave up to bring me and the other guys,” said Lopez, acquired from Miami in January along with two other players for All-Star second baseman and fan favorite Luis Arraez.

“The team is putting this much trust in me,” Lopez said. “I'm going to make the most of it. That's how I look at it.”

Lopez walked three and struck out eight before leaving after 5 1/3 innings. By that point, Trevor Larnach and pinch-hitter Donovan Solano had driven in runs to give Minnesota the lead, and a trio of relievers carried it into the ninth inning.

Jhoan Duran worked around a walk to earn the save, closing out a game played in a tidy 2 hours, 32 minutes.

“Carlos Correa made all the plays at shortstop you could hope for him to make. Byron Buxton swung the bat well. The bullpen was great,” Baldelli said, continuing down his list. “We're hitting just about everyone, but we needed that to win.”

The biggest bummer? The Twins left the bases loaded three times and stranded 12 in all.

The Royals wish they had that many on base. Salvador Perez and Kyle Isbel had their only hits.

Greinke, who like Lopez lasted 5 1/3 innings, delivered a solid start for Kansas City to begin his 20th season in the big leagues. The 39-year-old right-hander allowed both runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four.

“Weird weather conditions,” said Greinke, who had trouble figuring out which direction the wind was blowing. "I had a lot of good pitches. They put (together) some pretty good at-bats. I got out of a jam or two. Overall it was a solid mix of everything.”

Even though Greinke and Lopez matched scoreless innings through the fifth, both had to wiggle out of trouble.

The Twins had a pair of singles and a walk in the first inning, but Greinke rebounded to get Nick Gordon to ground out and end the threat. The Royals' erstwhile ace didn't allow another hit until Christian Vazquez singled with one out in the fifth.

Lopez didn't allow a hit until Perez's shattered bat went about as far as the ball in the fourth. Lopez later loaded the bases on a double, hit batter and walk in the fifth, but he got MJ Melendez to bounce into an inning-ending double play.

The Twins finally broke though in the sixth. Larnach followed Buxton's leadoff triple with a base hit, and Solano entered to face Royals reliever Amir Garrett. Solano proceeded to rip a single up the middle, extending the lead.

Kansas City never threatened the rest of the way.

“They had an opportunity and they capitalized,” new Royals manager Matt Quatraro said, "and we had one and we didn’t.”

The Royals made Perez, their seven-time All-Star catcher, the fourth captain in franchise history before the game. He's the first to wear the “C” on his jersey since Mike Sweeney in 2007; the others were George Brett and Frank White.

Correa singled in his first at-bat after a bizarre offseason. Lucrative deals with the Giants and Mets fell apart over concerns about his surgically repaired ankle, and the two-time All-Star returned to Minnesota on a six-year, $200 million deal.

Twins: RHPs Ronny Henriquez (elbow inflammation) and Josh Winder (shoulder strain), INF Jorge Polanco (knee inflammation) and OFs Gilberto Celestino (thumb surgery) and Alex Kirilloff (wrist surgery) went on the injured list before the game.

Royals: OF Drew Waters (oblique strain) and LHP Daniel Lynch (rotator cuff strain) went on the IL before the game.

Twins: INF/OF Willi Castro had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul to provide depth with Polanco and Kirilloff out.

Royals: OFs Jackie Bradley Jr. and Franmil Reyes and INF Matt Duffy had contracts selected from Triple-A Omaha. LHP Richard Lovelady was traded to Atlanta and 1B Matt Beaty to San Francisco, both for cash.

After a day off Friday, Twins RHP Sonny Gray gets the start against Royals RHP Jordan Lyles on Saturday.

⚾ Pablo Lopez, Twins' bullpen blank Royals on opening day

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals made seven-time 
All-Star catcher Salvador Perez the fourth captain in franchise history 
before their opener against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, rewarding 
one of the club's most popular players with the rare title.

Unlike
 football or basketball, the captain title is bestowed upon players that
 have either achieved a tremendous amount or displayed exemplary 
leadership over a lengthy period of time.

Along
 with his near-annual trips to the All-Star game, the affable catcher 
has won four Silver Slugger awards, five Gold Glove awards and was the 
MVP of the 2015 World Series, when the Royals beat the Mets for their 
second championship.

He is also among the most popular players in 
the Royals clubhouse. Perez's gregarious nature immediately puts young 
players at ease, which is a good thing for a club in the midst of a 
major youth movement, and he's always willing to sign autographs and 
take photographs for fans that show up long before the first pitch.

"Salvy
 is a Royals icon, a Kansas City icon and a baseball icon,” Royals 
general manager J.J. Picollo said. “This honor reflects not just his 
place in Royals history but just as importantly the work he puts in and 
the leadership he provides our organization.”

Hall of Fame third 
baseman George Brett and longtime star Frank White were the first Royals
 captains. They both held the title from 1989-90, when White retired, 
and Brett carried it on until his own retirement after the 1993 season.

Mike Sweeney was the last Royals captain, holding the honor from 2003 until leaving for Oakland for the 2008 season.

Aaron Judge of the Yankees was the only other MLB player with a captain title heading into this season.

The
 32-year-old Perez was batting third and behind the plate for the 
Royals' opener against the Twins. He's coming off a season in which he 
hit .254 with 23 homers and 76 RBIs while playing just 114 games.

Perez
 was the club's nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award in 2001, and last
 year, he won the Lou Gehrig Award, which is presented annually to a 
Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies the character of the 
late Yankees star.

⚾️ Royals make Perez fourth captain in franchise history

By DIANE GASPER-O’BRIEN Special to Hays Post

Opportunities in professional careers oftentimes are all about timing.

That was the case for Troy Schulte back in 2016 when he learned of an opening for the activities director position at his alma mater in Hays, Kansas.

Schulte was quite content at his job as assistant principal and boys’ basketball coach at Archie (Mo.) High School, about 50 miles southeast of Kansas City.

But it was a good time to make a move for his family. Schulte, a Hays native, successfully pursued that position at Thomas More Prep-Marian, where he has also served as assistant principal the past seven years.

Timing came calling again this winter for Schulte.

Jeff Kramer, a retired superintendent from the Archie school district, called Schulte one evening and told him the principal’s position at Archie High had just opened up.

A couple of interviews, several family talks and a lot of prayers later, Schulte is heading back to Missouri this summer.

Once again, it came at what seemed a perfect time for Schulte’s family. His youngest daughter, Jaden, will graduate from TMP-M in May and join her older brother, Jackson, at Wichita State University next fall. His oldest daughter, Jordan Hixon, and her family — husband Nick and young son Wells — also live in Wichita.

Empty-nesters Troy Schulte and his wife, Sharon, are looking for a home in southern metro Kansas City, with plans to make several family visits to Wichita.

“We loved living in Archie, but to have the opportunity for Jackson and Jaden to go to a Catholic high school and grow in their faith was a great opportunity,” Schulte said. “I have grown in my faith as well. Now, we think this is another great opportunity.”

Schulte has enjoyed a good run at TMP-M. The Monarchs annually do well in all their extracurricular activities, from visual and creative arts and scholastic teams such as scholars bowl and chess — and everything in between.

His first love — athletics — have done exceptionally well. The Monarchs have qualified individuals or teams for state every year during his tenure at TMP-M, including three years in basketball when his son Jackson was playing.

Schulte also got back into coaching at TMP-M the past four years. In the past two years as the school’s junior high coach, the Monarchs compiled an incredible record of 80-0 across the entire program.

He admits the coaching bug bit him hard, and he wouldn’t mind pacing the sidelines at the high school level again if that opportunity ever came up.

But for now, the Archie Whirlwinds will have to wait.

Schulte wants to enjoy making his farewell tour through the Monarchs’ spring sports programs with plans to hopefully attend a few more state events as the TMP activities director.

“Even walking around school, I know it’s winding down,” he said. “There are a lot of mixed feelings for sure.”

He is excited about the next step of his professional journey — and his first job as principal of a school — but he will never forget his roots.&nbsp;

A 1989 graduate of TMP-M, Schulte received his bachelor’s degree from the hometown university, Fort Hays State. His wife’s parents, Bob and Carol Feauto, still live in Hays, as do several of Sharon’s siblings.

Schulte said he especially is fond of the memories during his second go-around in Hays, especially the relationships he has built with people in and out of school.

“Hays is home. It will always be home,” Schulte said. “I developed a lot of good relationships both in school and in the community the past seven years. When you work with people in a private school setting — who volunteer to help you out, just wanting to be of service — you develop a strong bond.”

His oldest daughter, Jordan Hixon, and her family — husband Nick and young son Wells — also live in Wichita.Empty-nesters Troy Schulte and his wife, Sharon, are looking for a home in southern metro Kansas City, with plans to make several family visits to Wichita.“We loved living in Archie, but to have the opportunity for Jackson and Jaden to go to a Catholic high school and grow in their faith was a great opportunity,” Schulte said. “I have grown in my faith as well. Now, we think this is another great opportunity.”Schulte has enjoyed a good run at TMP-M. The Monarchs annually do well in all their extracurricular activities, from visual and creative arts and scholastic teams such as scholars bowl and chess — and everything in between.His first love — athletics — have done exceptionally well. The Monarchs have qualified individuals or teams for state every year during his tenure at TMP-M, including three years in basketball when his son Jackson was playing.Schulte also got back into coaching at TMP-M the past four years. In the past two years as the school’s junior high coach, the Monarchs compiled an incredible record of 80-0 across the entire program.He admits the coaching bug bit him hard, and he wouldn’t mind pacing the sidelines at the high school level again if that opportunity ever came up.But for now, the Archie Whirlwinds will have to wait.Schulte wants to enjoy making his farewell tour through the Monarchs’ spring sports programs with plans to hopefully attend a few more state events as the TMP activities director.“Even walking around school, I know it’s winding down,” he said. “There are a lot of mixed feelings for sure.”He is excited about the next step of his professional journey — and his first job as principal of a school — but he will never forget his roots.&nbsp;A 1989 graduate of TMP-M, Schulte received his bachelor’s degree from the hometown university, Fort Hays State. His wife’s parents, Bob and Carol Feauto, still live in Hays, as do several of Sharon’s siblings.Schulte said he especially is fond of the memories during his second go-around in Hays, especially the relationships he has built with people in and out of school.“Hays is home. It will always be home,” Schulte said. “I developed a lot of good relationships both in school and in the community the past seven years. When you work with people in a private school setting — who volunteer to help you out, just wanting to be of service — you develop a strong bond.”<figure>
