SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kris Bubic threw seven scoreless innings,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/bubic-nohitter-royals-massey-error-flores-e0228b731773cfba601e75c8f21c75d2">losing a no-hit bid in the sixth on an official scoring change,</a>&nbsp;and Vinnie Pasquantino hit a two-run homer in the eighth as the Kansas City Royals got past the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Monday night.

Bubic, a left-hander who went to Mitty High School in San Jose and then to Stanford, carried his no-hit bid until there were two outs in the sixth. Wilmer Flores hit a grounder to the right side. Second baseman Michael Massey ranged to his left and slipped as the ball got past him. The play originally was ruled an error on Massey, then was changed to a single.

Casey Schmitt’s clean double down the left-field line with one out in the seventh was the only other hit Bubic (5-2) allowed. His ERA fell to 1.47 as he struck out five and walked three.

Giants left-hander Robbie Ray also worked seven shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 2.67. Ray gave up six hits, struck out seven and walked one.

Tyler Rogers (2-2) replaced Ray to begin the eighth in a scoreless game. Jonathan India’s one-out double preceded Pasquantino’s two-out drive over the right-field wall, the first baseman’s eighth home run of the season.

The Giants scored on Jung Hoo Lee’s RBI double in the bottom of the eighth but the Royals got an insurance run on Kyle Isbel’s RBI single off Jordan Hicks in the ninth.

Carlos Estévez pitched a scoreless inning for his 14th save.

After Schmitt’s double, the Giants had runners at second and third with one out in the seventh. Tyler Fitzgerald then hit a soft liner to shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who flipped the ball to third baseman Maikel Garcia to double off Willy Adames and end the inning.

The Giants had won all nine of Ray’s starts this season before Monday.

Royals RHP Michael Lorenzen (3-4, 3.76 ERA) faces Giants RHP Hayden Birdsong (1-0, 2.31) on Tuesday night.

NEW ORLEANS - Six Fort Hays State track and field athletes earned nine All-Region honors during the 2024-25 season, awarded by the U.S. Track &amp; Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). The men's team had four individuals recognized with six awards, while the women's team had two individuals honored with three awards.

The top five individuals in each event from each region earn All-Region distinction, in addition to each member of the region's top three relay teams.

All-Region award winners from the women's team include Annabeth Baalmann in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault and Emily Diercks in the outdoor 10,000m run. The men were represented by Nolan Churchman in the indoor heptathlon, outdoor decathlon and outdoor long jump, Josiah Ball in the outdoor pole vault, Jacob Clark in the indoor pole vault and Toby Wahlmeier in the outdoor 200m dash.

Nolan Churchman highlighted the list with three All-Central Region honors, picking up the award in the indoor heptathlon and twice outdoors in the long jump and the decathlon. Churchman has now earned 12 All-Region honors in his career, including four in the heptathlon and three in the decathlon. This is his first-such honor in the long jump.

He earned the heptathlon award with a mark of 5,324 which ranked fifth nationally in the regular season before he placed third at the National Championships with a school-record total of 5,534. Churchman ranks seventh in the country in the decathlon with a mark of 7,138, while his career-best long jump of 24-7 (7.49m) ranks 14th nationally.

Jacob Clark achieved his fifth All-Region honor in the indoor pole vault thanks to a top clearance of 17-2.75 (5.25m), matching his indoor career best. The five-time All-American has been named All-Region three times indoors and twice outdoors.

Annabeth Baalmann now has three All-Region awards in her career after picking up the honor in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault. The junior broke the school record with a top indoor clearance of 14-0.5 (4.28m) before matching that effort to win the MIAA Outdoor Championships. She ranks third in Division II heading into the Outdoor National Championships.

Emily Diercks is now a two-time All-Region honoree after achieving the award in cross country and in the outdoor 10,000m run. Diercks set the school record in the 10,000m run this season, ranking 20th in Division II with a time of 34:46.53. After competing at the NCAA Division II Cross Country National Championships in the fall, Diercks will also compete at the Outdoor National Championships later this week.

Josiah Ball earned his first All-Region honor in the outdoor pole vault after clearing a personal-best 16-7.5 (5.07m) in the final weekend of the regular season. The freshman ranks 17th in Division II this season and will compete at his first National Championships later this week.

Toby Wahlmeier picked up his first All-Region award thanks to a top time of 20.74 in the 200m dash. That personal-best time is tied for 19th in Division II and earned the junior a trip to his first NCAA Championship event later this week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Drew Waters led off the seventh inning with a pinch-hit triple, Maikel Garcia drove him in with a single and the Kansas City Royals snapped a four-game skid and avoided a series sweep with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

With the game tied at 1, Waters batted in place of Dairon Blanco and tripled to right field on the first pitch from reliever Chris Roycroft (1-3). Garcia hit Roycroft's second pitch to right to score Waters with the go-ahead run.

Lucas Erceg (1-0) got five outs for the win and Carlos Estévez pitched the ninth and worked around a double by Brendan Donovan for his 13th save in 15 opportunities.

Kansas City's Michael Wacha started against his former team and allowed one run and eight hits in five innings with six strikeouts and no walks. The Royals have scored two runs or less with Wacha on the mound in nine of his 10 starts.

Alec Burleson put the Cardinals up 1-0 in the fourth with his fourth homer of the season.

The Royals then tied it against Matthew Liberatore when Hunter Renfroe led off the bottom half of the fourth with a double and scored on a two-out double by Blanco in his first game of the season.

Liberatore allowed one run and six hits in six innings. He has gone at least six innings in seven of nine starts.

Donovan went 4 for 5 with his 15th double for St. Louis, which had won three straight and 12 of 13.

Salvador Perez had two hits for the Royals after entering in a 1-for-21 slump.

The first two pitches thrown by Roycroft proved to be the difference.

The Cardinals are 50-27 all time at Kaufmann Stadium and 31-30 at home in the series.

Cardinals: RHP Sonny Gray (4-1, 4.50) starts Monday to begin a six-game homestand with three against Detroit.

Royals: LHP Kris Bubic (4-2, 1.66) starts Monday in the first of three against San Francisco to begin a six-game trip.

HAYS - On Friday, Fort Hays State University named Dr. Lisa Goddard McGuirk as its next Director of Athletics. She comes to FHSU after an impressive tenure as Director of Athletics at Gannon University.

Goddard McGuirk had a very successful 11-year run as the Director of Athletics at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania, another NCAA Division II institution. She was honored as a NACDA Athletic Director of the Year in 2023-24. In 2022, the Erie Times-News honored Goddard McGuirk as Erie Sportswoman of the Year.

"Our primary objective was to find a visionary leader who aligns with our aspirations for the future of Tiger Athletics," said FHSU President Tisa Mason. "In this era of unprecedented challenges and significant transformation in intercollegiate athletics, Dr. McGuirk stands out as an exceptional choice. Her extensive experience, strategic foresight, and proven leadership position her to build on our incredible accomplishments and elevate our program to new heights in the competitive landscape of NCAA Division II athletics."

Gannon's athletic programs soared to new heights under Goddard McGuirk's leadership. The Golden Knights earned two of the last three Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Dixon Trophy championships for all sports (2021-22 and 2022-23). They lead the conference standings for that honor again this year following the winter sports season (final standings following spring sports not yet released). The trophy is presented annually based on finishes in conference events and standings.

The Golden Knights enjoyed their highest finish nationally in the Learfield Directors' Cup in 2023-24, placing 19th. So far in 2024-25, they rank 12th in the standings following the winter sports season. Points generated in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings are based on an institution's finish in NCAA Championships for each sport.

Gannon's rise to prominence in the Dixon Trophy and Learfield Directors' Cup standings over the last four years shows the strong surge in success for all of its athletic programs under Goddard McGuirk's leadership. However, that is not the only measure of success in her tenure leading the Golden Knights. Their student-athletes excelled in the classroom, having at least a 3.2 GPA collectively in all 11 years of her guidance. They also had a big impact in the Erie community through service and philanthropy. Gannon produced over 250 PSAC Scholar-Athletes each of the last seven years and over 300 four times in that run with a high mark of 362 in 2021-22.

Gannon won conference championships in volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's golf, and claimed NCAA regional titles in women's soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's wrestling, and men's golf during her tenure. In non-NCAA activities, the Golden Knights' acrobatics &amp; tumbling team placed second nationally at the NCATA Championships while claiming two event national titles, and two Gannon competitive dance teams placed third at NDA Nationals.

Goddard McGuirk is recognized as a national leader in collegiate athletics, serving on the NCAA Women's Wrestling National Committee and the Division II Athletic Directors Association (D2ADA) Board of Directors. She has been instrumental in several renovation projects at Gannon, including enhancements to the Highmark Event Center, McConnell Family Stadium, and Carneval Athletic Pavilion.

"I would like to thank President Mason for the opportunity to serve as Tiger Nation's next Athletic Director," Goddard McGuirk said. "I am excited to begin collaborating and building upon a long-standing tradition of excellence at FHSU. Throughout the search process, it was evident that there is a remarkable level of commitment and pride throughout Hays and Tiger Athletics.

She was honored as a NACDA Athletic Director of the Year in 2023-24. In 2022, the Erie Times-News honored Goddard McGuirk as Erie Sportswoman of the Year."Our primary objective was to find a visionary leader who aligns with our aspirations for the future of Tiger Athletics," said FHSU President Tisa Mason. "In this era of unprecedented challenges and significant transformation in intercollegiate athletics, Dr. McGuirk stands out as an exceptional choice. Her extensive experience, strategic foresight, and proven leadership position her to build on our incredible accomplishments and elevate our program to new heights in the competitive landscape of NCAA Division II athletics."Gannon's athletic programs soared to new heights under Goddard McGuirk's leadership. The Golden Knights earned two of the last three Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Dixon Trophy championships for all sports (2021-22 and 2022-23).

The trophy is presented annually based on finishes in conference events and standings.The Golden Knights enjoyed their highest finish nationally in the Learfield Directors' Cup in 2023-24, placing 19th. So far in 2024-25, they rank 12th in the standings following the winter sports season. Points generated in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings are based on an institution's finish in NCAA Championships for each sport.Gannon's rise to prominence in the Dixon Trophy and Learfield Directors' Cup standings over the last four years shows the strong surge in success for all of its athletic programs under Goddard McGuirk's leadership. However, that is not the only measure of success in her tenure leading the Golden Knights. Their student-athletes excelled in the classroom, having at least a 3.2 GPA collectively in all 11 years of her guidance. They also had a big impact in the Erie community through service and philanthropy. Gannon produced over 250 PSAC Scholar-Athletes each of the last seven years and over 300 four times in that run with a high mark of 362 in 2021-22.Gannon won conference championships in volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's golf, and claimed NCAA regional titles in women's soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's wrestling, and men's golf during her tenure. In non-NCAA activities, the Golden Knights' acrobatics &amp; tumbling team placed second nationally at the NCATA Championships while claiming two event national titles, and two Gannon competitive dance teams placed third at NDA Nationals.Goddard McGuirk is recognized as a national leader in collegiate athletics, serving on the NCAA Women's Wrestling National Committee and the Division II Athletic Directors Association (D2ADA) Board of Directors. She has been instrumental in several renovation projects at Gannon, including enhancements to the Highmark Event Center, McConnell Family Stadium, and Carneval Athletic Pavilion."I would like to thank President Mason for the opportunity to serve as Tiger Nation's next Athletic Director," Goddard McGuirk said. "I am excited to begin collaborating and building upon a long-standing tradition of excellence at FHSU. Throughout the search process, it was evident that there is a remarkable level of commitment and pride throughout Hays and Tiger Athletics.
