⚾ Hays sweeps Dodge City to keep WAC lead

HAYS, Kan. – For the first time since the 2010 season, the Fort Hays State Baseball team reached 30 wins in a season on Tuesday (Apr. 22) in a 12-4 win over Emporia State. The No. 21 ranked Tigers moved to 30-11 overall on the season and 24-6 in the MIAA with the win and swept the regular season series with the Hornets. Emporia State moved to 21-20 overall and 14-16 in the MIAA.

Cade Flaherty&nbsp;had a strong outing on the mound for FHSU, allowing just one run through seven innings of work. He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second with just one run allowed and settled in from that point to hold the Hornets scoreless over the next five innings.

With Flaherty getting stronger on the hill, the Tiger offense came alive with two outs in the third inning when Isaiah Ural&nbsp;singled and Trey DeGarmo&nbsp;followed with an RBI triple to the right-center gap. The Tigers moved into the lead in the fourth inning with three more runs. A muffed throw by the Hornet first baseman on a sacrifice bunt by Cesar Saavedra&nbsp;set up the scoring opportunity as Cooper Howell&nbsp;drilled a 2-RBI triple to the left-center gap. Zane Knox&nbsp;followed with an RBI groundout. Ural extended the Tiger lead to four in the seventh with a solo home run to left-center field.

Flaherty finally ran out of gas in the eighth inning as the Hornets loaded the bases with one out. Brandon Chavez&nbsp;entered for a save opportunity and the Hornets pushed all three runs charged to Flaherty across the plate, but Chavez got a strikeout and a groundout to keep the Tigers in front 5-4.

After the tense moments in the top of the eighth, the Tiger offense erupted for seven runs in the bottom half of the inning to run away with the victory. Sebastian Burgos&nbsp;knocked in the first run with an RBI single and Ural had a sacrifice fly RBI to make it 7-4. The inning extended when the ESU center fielder dropped what would have been the third out, allowing two more runs to score. Elliott Herrmann&nbsp;followed with an RBI single and Saavedra had a 2-RBI double.

Chavez held the Hornets scoreless in the ninth for his ninth save of the season. Flaherty moved to 4-1 overall on the season with a 135-pitch effort on the mound. He scattered six hits and walked five, while striking out two. Emporia State used seven pitchers and the loss went to the first reliever of the game, Coby Rogers, who allowed four runs to the Tigers (three earned) in 1.1 innings of work.

With the win, Fort Hays State took&nbsp; a half-game lead over Central Missouri who plays their midweek Wednesday against Washburn. 

The Tigers will host Northwest Missouri State this weekend for the final home games of the regular season, set for Friday through Sunday. Pack the Park will be Friday night at 7 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Fort Hays State baseball moved up to No. 21 in the latest ABCA Top 30 Poll, released on Tuesday. The Tigers moved up two spots after holding the No. 23 ranking last week. The No. 21 ranking is their highest of the season so far in the ABCA Poll, while they have been ranked as high as No. 20 in the NCBWA Poll. The Tigers have been in the ABCA top 30 each of the last six weeks.

Fort Hays State is one of four teams from the MIAA currently ranked in the Top 30 of the ABCA Poll. Central Missouri is ranked No. 5 in the latest poll, while Pittsburg State is No. 25 and Central Oklahoma is No. 30.

At 29-11 overall, Fort Hays State is on the cusp of reaching the 30-win mark in a season for the first time since 2010, when it finished with a 31-22 record. The 30-win mark was a yearly standard FHSU hit for 15-straight years from 1993 to 2007, and then the 2009 and 2010 seasons to make a total of 17 times in 18 years. The Tigers produced at least 40 in a season six times in that 15-year span from 1993 to 2007.

Fort Hays State is currently tied for the MIAA lead with Central Missouri, both at 23-6 in conference play. Both are two games ahead of Pittsburg State, which is 21-8, and 3.5 games ahead of Central Oklahoma, which is 21-11.Fort Hays State plays four games at home this week, starting with their final game of three in the regular season against Emporia State on Tuesday. 

The Tigers host Northwest Missouri State for a three-game conference series this weekend (Apr. 25-27).&nbsp;&nbsp;

HAYS, Kan. - Fort Hays State University Athletics will pay tribute to the 1974 Tiger Baseball team for its historic achievement prior to the 7 p.m. game against Northwest Missouri State University on April 25 at Larks Park. The recognition will be a part of the annual Pack the Park event. The team was the first at FHSU to play in a national baseball tournament, specifically the NAIA National Baseball Tournament, now known as the NAIA College World Series.

That season the Tigers won the NAIA District 10 Playoffs, defeating Bethany College, Emporia State, and Benedictine College to reach the NAIA Area 3 Playoffs in Oklahoma City. The Tigers then defeated Kearney State and Southeastern Oklahoma twice to reach the NAIA championship site in St. Joseph, Mo. They fell to Sam Houston State and Wisconsin-Oshkosh at the championship site, wrapping their season at 26-18 overall. The Tigers finished the year at No. 7 in the NAIA national rankings.

It has been 51 years since the 1974 season, yet all 16 players on the team's postseason roster will be in attendance and recognized at Larks Park on Friday night prior to the annual Pack the Park game. The team featured just one senior and the rest were underclassmen.

Below are the individuals planning to be in attendance.

Outfielders: Bill Hall (Hays), Brad Rumble (Great Bend), Val McLean (Lewis) and Dick Kollhoff (Burdett).

Infielders: Lance Wise (Hill City), Keith Harper (Colby), Galen Pfannenstiel (Ransom), Bill Hachmeister (Hill City), Mike Weiser (Great Bend), Mike Giarratano (Pueblo, Colo.) and Larry Koster (Cawker City).

Pitchers; Ray Dolezal (Great Bend), Ken Ubelaker (Osborne), Rick Zimmerman (Denver, Colo.), and Ray Coupal (Hays).

Six Tiger players received post-season honors: All-Great Plains Athletic Conference First Team&nbsp;- Brad Rumble (LF), Lance Wise (SS). Academic All-Conference Team&nbsp;- Val McLean (CF), Bill Hall (RF), Keith Harper (2B), Brad Rumble (LF). All-District 10 First Team&nbsp;- Galen Pfannenstiel (1B), Lance Wise (SS), Bill Hall (OF), Brad Rumble (OF). All-Area III&nbsp;- Bill Hall (OF). NAIA All-America&nbsp;- Bill Hall (OF), Lance Wise (SS).

Tiger records set during the 1974 season: Most doubles -&nbsp;Bill Hall, 16 Most stolen bases -&nbsp;Keith Harper, 26 Most times hit by pitch -&nbsp;Lance Wise, 5 Most strikeouts -&nbsp;Ray Coupal, 94 Most wins -&nbsp;Ray Coupal, 10 Most innings pitched -&nbsp;Ray Coupal, 102.2

Guiding the Tigers to the national tournament was Earl Hobbs (1929-2013) who coached the Tigers from 1967-1976. Both of his assistant coaches, Rod Ruder (1951-2021) and Frank Leo, were graduates of FHSU and were eventually inducted into the Tiger Sports Hall of Fame. "We were truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to play for them," commented Brad Rumble. "What they did to help the team reach the national tournament and become part of FHSU baseball history is something we will never forget."

⛳ HHS loses tiebreaker to Dodge City at Bob Blazer

By EDDIE PELLS Associated Press

The NCAA passed rules Monday that would upend decades of precedent by allowing colleges to pay their athletes per terms of a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nil-ncaa-house-settlement-1dc0f36ee94134d6ace86fd0bd66f290">multibillion-dollar lawsuit settlement</a>&nbsp;expected to go into effect this summer.

The nine proposals passed by the NCAA board were largely expected but still mark a defining day in the history of college sports. An athlete’s ability to be&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-athletes-amateur-ncaa-79e481c957d73a545fee24cda06e4f87">paid directly by his or her university</a>&nbsp;is on track to be enshrined in a rulebook that has forbidden that kind of relationship for decades.

For the NCAA rules to officially go into effect, the changes prescribed by the House settlement still have to be granted final&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-lawsuit-settlement-roster-limits-2cdd17ee4b6081dd8892b3dc998d03e8">approval by a federal judge</a>, whose hearing earlier this month led to questions about potential tweaks before the new guidelines are supposed to go into play on July 1.

The changes will eliminate around 150 rules and alter many others in the NCAA’s sprawling rulebook. They essentially codify measures set up by the settlement, including:

—Modifying bylaws to allow schools to pay the athletes directly.

—Eliminating scholarship limits for teams, while also&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ncaa-lawsuit-settlement-nil-d162a40c71be28a380c75d6c8202807a">setting roster limits</a>&nbsp;that are designed to replace the scholarship caps. Some details of the roster limits, which were a key sticking point in the April 7 hearing, will be finalized later.

—Establishing annual reporting requirements for schools that pay athletes; a payment pool is set to be approximately $20.5 million for the biggest schools beginning next academic year.

—Setting up a clearinghouse for all name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that come from third parties and are worth $600 or more.

They essentially codify measures set up by the settlement, including:—Modifying bylaws to allow schools to pay the athletes directly.—Eliminating scholarship limits for teams, while also&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ncaa-lawsuit-settlement-nil-d162a40c71be28a380c75d6c8202807a">setting roster limits</a>&nbsp;that are designed to replace the scholarship caps. Some details of the roster limits, which were a key sticking point in the April 7 hearing, will be finalized later.—Establishing annual reporting requirements for schools that pay athletes; a payment pool is set to be approximately $20.5 million for the biggest schools beginning next academic year.—Setting up a clearinghouse for all name, image and likeness (NIL) deals that come from third parties and are worth $600 or more.

NCAA passes series of rules that sets table for schools to pay players directly

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State pitcher Paul Panduro&nbsp;was named the MIAA Pitcher of the Week on Monday after a strong performance in his start at Newman University last weekend. Panduro is the fourth FHSU baseball player to receive an Athlete of the Week honor this season, joining Elliott Herrmann (Hitter of the Week - Feb. 3), Cade Flaherty&nbsp;(Pitcher of the Week – Feb. 25), and Trey DeGarmo&nbsp;(Hitter of the Week – Mar. 17).

Panduro hurled eight shutout innings against Newman on Friday (Apr. 18), striking out five batters and allowing just two hits. He held the opposition to a batting average of .077 in the 8-0 win for Fort Hays State, which helped the Tigers even the weekend series before going on to win the series with a game three win. It was Panduro's longest outing of the season and second time he did not allow an earned run in a start this season.

Panduro joins Isaiah Keller of Central Missouri, the MIAA Hitter of the Week, as the weekly honorees from the conference office. Keller had a staggering six home runs and 20 RBIs for the week in four wins for UCM.&nbsp;&nbsp;

BOSTON (AP) — Sharon Lokedi broke the Boston Marathon course record, and fellow Kenyan John Korir joined his brother as a race champion on Monday as the city celebrated the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War.

Lokedi, who ran for the University of Kansas from 2015-2019, outran two-time defending champion Hellen Obiri over the final mile a year after losing a sprint down Boylston Street to her in one of the closest finishes in race history. Lokedi finished in an unofficial 2 hours, 17 minutes, 22 seconds — 19 seconds ahead of Obiri and more than 2 1/2 minutes faster than the previous Boston best.

Six months after winning Chicago, Korir finished in 2:04:45 — the second-fastest winning time in race history as the runners took advantage of perfect marathon weather to conquer the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston’s Copley Square.

After crossing the line, Korir was greeted by his older brother, 2012 Boston winner Wesley Korir. Although the race has been won by a pair of unrelated John Kelleys and two different Robert Cheruiyots, the Korirs are the first brothers — or relatives of any kind — to win the world's oldest and most prestigious annual marathon.

Conner Mantz of Provo, Utah, finished fourth after losing a three-way sprint to the finish with Alphonce Felix Simbu of Tanzania and Cybrian Kotut of Kenya. Simbu was second and Kotut was third.

Korir ran without his bib showing, pulling it out of his running tights as he sprinted down Boylston Street.

Reenactors on horseback, accompanied by a fife and drum playing “Yankee Doodle,” helped start the festivities and add a bit of levity when Paul Revere’s horse was spooked by the finish line decal on the street and stopped. The actor portraying the colonial silversmith and patriot had to hop off and walk the last few steps himself as the small early crowd laughed and clapped.

After reading a proclamation, Revere gently tugged the horse the rest of the way before riding off to more ceremonies commemorating the midnight ride on April 19, 1775, that warned the colonists in Lexington and Concord that the British were on the march.

Marcel Hug of Switzerland had no such trouble completing the course, zooming into Copley Square in 1:21:34 for his eighth Boston wheelchair title. He beat two-time winner Daniel Romanchuk by more than four minutes in the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/boston-marathon-wheelchair-bob-hall-0426d27b488fbb668c04523a391d655d">50th anniversary of Bob Hall’s pioneering push</a>&nbsp;to add a wheelchair division to the race.

“It means a lot to win this year, 50 years of wheelchairs in Boston,” Hug said. “For me, it will take some time to realize what it means, eight times wins. It’s such an incredible number.”

Susannah Scaroni of the United States won the women’s wheelchair race for the second time, finishing in 1:35:20. Her victory guaranteed that the “Star-Spangled Banner” would play on Boylston Street in Copley Square on Patriots’ Day, the state holiday that commemorates the first shots of the Revolutionary War&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/lexington-concord-battles-250-independence-history-debate-031df77dc1cfa5cf669b6694dfe509ee">250 years ago Saturday</a>.

DETROIT (AP) — Bobby Witt Jr. hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 Sunday to stop a six-game losing streak.

With the score 3-3, Jonathan India's groundout off Tyler Holton (1-2) advanced automatic runner Drew Waters to third, and Witt hit a 280-foot fly to left. Waters scored headfirst ahead of Riley Greene's throw.

Carlos Estévez (1-0) intentionally walked Greene to put runners on the corners with two outs in the bottom half, then retired Dillon Dingler on a popup.

Kansas City went 2-8 on its trip and is 9-14. Detroit had won three straight.

Detroit left fielder Kerry Carpenter left the game after the eighth inning because of right hamstring soreness.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings, while Royals starter Michael Wacha gave up two runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 inning

Hunter Pasquantino and Drew Waters built a 2-0 lead with RBI singles in the second, but consecutive, two-out run-scoring singles by Carpenter and Zach McKinstry tied the score inthe fifth.

McKinstry's RBI single in the seventh ended Daniel Lynch IV's scoreless streak at 31 innings.

Mark Canha tied the score in the eighth with an RBI single after Witt reached second on a throwing error by third baseman Javier Báez.

With the bases loaded in the seventh, Salvador Perez scooped Greene's grounded and start an inning-ending 3-2-3 double play.

Skubal is 11-1 with a 1.96 ERA in 18 starts at home since the start of the 2024 season.

Royals: LHP Kris Bubic (2-1, 1.88) starts Tuesday homestand opener against Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (0-1, 4.82).

Tigers: RHP Keider Montero (0-1, 9.00) starts Monday's series opener against Padres RHP Randy Vasquez (1-1. 1.74).
