K-State's Sundell selected in WNBA draft

NEW YORK (AP) — Trent Grisham, Ben Rice and Austin Wells each hit a solo home run off Seth Lugo in the fifth inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1 on Monday night in their first meeting since last year's AL Division Series.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. tied the score in the fourth with his sixth homer, an inning after Bobby Witt Jr.’s home run against Carlos Carrasco (2-1) on the 10th pitch of his at-bat put Kansas City ahead.

Carrasco and four relievers combined on a two-hitter for the Yankees, whose starters entered with a 5.40 ERA.

New York (9-7) had lost five of its previous seven games. The Yankees beat the Royals in four games during their ALDS last October.

Lugo (1-2) gave up 16 homers in 33 starts last season, when he was a first-time All-Star. Mixing nine different pitches, he allowed seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. He had yielded more than two homers just once before, when Philadelphia hit four on Sept. 17, 2020.

Carrasco allowed one hit in five innings. Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams followed. Williams allowed Witt's leadoff single in the ninth and a one-out walk before retiring Miakel Garcia on a game-ending flyout for his second save.

Kansas City (8-9) wore its new powder blue-and-white caps and helmets with dark blue bills along with powder blue uniforms.

Jonathan India went 0 for 3 with a walk as the designated hitter after missing a game with tightness in his right quadriceps.

Royals first baseman Mark Canha (left abductor strain) will start a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday. Left-hander Sam Long was seen by a doctor who confirmed the pitcher has elbow inflammation. Long won't throw for five days, then will ramp up for five days.

Grisham's home run was his fourth this season; last year he hit his fourth on June 22.

All four Yankees homers were by left-handed hitters: on a changeup, cutter and a pair of fastballs.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cole Ragans managed to pitch through a left hamstring cramp for 7 2/3 innings and get his first win this season.

“The hammy started to tighten up and I just didn’t want to push it,” Ragans said after leading the Kansas City Royals over the Cleveland Guardians 4-2 on Sunday.

A 27-year-old left-hander who finished fourth in AL Cy Young Award voting last year, Ragans struck out 10 and walked none while allowing two runs — one earned — and four hits.

Ragans (1-0) felt a nagging pain in his hamstring throughout the game, but it intensified after he got Austin Hedges to pop out for the second out of the eighth inning. Lucas Erceg relieved and got the last out of the inning. Carlos Estévez allowed a leadoff single in the ninth, then struck out three straight batters for his fifth save in six chances.

“You don’t want it to where it turns more serious than it actually is," Ragans said. "There was no reason to keep trying to pitch.”

Kansas City was optimistic Ragans will take his next turn, likely Friday in Detroit.

“He was honest with us throughout the game and was honest with us when he started feeling in more in the eighth inning,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “He was trying to be smart and not push through it, which was the right thing to do.”

Ragans threw 89 pitches and became the second pitcher in Royals’ history to have 10 or more strikeouts in three consecutive starts after Kevin Appier in 1996.

Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the second when Daniel Schneemann hit an RBI double and continued home on shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.’s throwing error. Ragans then retired nine straight batters and 17 of his last 18.

Kansas City rallied when Salvador Perez hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning and Maikel Garcia had a two-run double in the fifth.

“I try to get quick outs,” Ragans said. “If I’m filling up the strike zone, then (the hitters) are going to have to swing the bats. I just try to get ahead in the count and stay ahead and trust the guys behind me to make plays. If they are swinging early in the count, it might help you later to get them to chase some pitches.”

 </figure>CLEVELAND (AP) — Cole Ragans managed to pitch through a left hamstring cramp for 7 2/3 innings and get his first win this season.“The hammy started to tighten up and I just didn’t want to push it,” Ragans said after leading the Kansas City Royals over the Cleveland Guardians 4-2 on Sunday.A 27-year-old left-hander who finished fourth in AL Cy Young Award voting last year, Ragans struck out 10 and walked none while allowing two runs — one earned — and four hits.Ragans (1-0) felt a nagging pain in his hamstring throughout the game, but it intensified after he got Austin Hedges to pop out for the second out of the eighth inning. Lucas Erceg relieved and got the last out of the inning. Carlos Estévez allowed a leadoff single in the ninth, then struck out three straight batters for his fifth save in six chances.“You don’t want it to where it turns more serious than it actually is," Ragans said. "There was no reason to keep trying to pitch.”Kansas City was optimistic Ragans will take his next turn, likely Friday in Detroit.“He was honest with us throughout the game and was honest with us when he started feeling in more in the eighth inning,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “He was trying to be smart and not push through it, which was the right thing to do.”Ragans threw 89 pitches and became the second pitcher in Royals’ history to have 10 or more strikeouts in three consecutive starts after Kevin Appier in 1996.Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the second when Daniel Schneemann hit an RBI double and continued home on shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.’s throwing error. Ragans then retired nine straight batters and 17 of his last 18.Kansas City rallied when Salvador Perez hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning and Maikel Garcia had a two-run double in the fifth.“I try to get quick outs,” Ragans said. “If I’m filling up the strike zone, then (the hitters) are going to have to swing the bats. I just try to get ahead in the count and stay ahead and trust the guys behind me to make plays. If they are swinging early in the count, it might help you later to get them to chase some pitches.”

HAYS, Kan. - The 20th-ranked Fort Hays State baseball team rattled off a season-high 21 hits in a 17-7 run rule win over Northeastern State on Sunday (April 13), taking the series with the RiverHawks two games to one. Every Tiger scored at least once and collected at least one hit in the blowout win, including a five-hit day for Tony Moore and four hits from Trey DeGarmo.

With the win, the Tigers (26-10, 20-5 MIAA) secured a trip to the 2025 MIAA Baseball Championship Tournament with 11 games left to play on the league schedule. The Tigers also reached 20 league wins for the first time in 13 years (2012 - 29-24 overall, 20-19 MIAA).

FHSU never trailed in the contest after the first six batters of the game came in to score on a pair of three-run home runs. DeGarmo crushed the first bomb to left center before Derek Woolwine ripped another three-run home run to right center three batters later, forcing NSU's starting pitcher out of the game before he recorded one out.

The RiverHawks (12-27, 9-16) pulled within 6-2 after solo home runs in the next two frames, but Fort Hays State was able to push the lead back to six with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. Moore opened the scoring with an RBI double to left center before later coming in to score on a double play.

Three hits, including a three-run home run, helped NSU close within 8-6 in the top of the fifth, before FHSU answered right back with four runs of its own. Zane Knox and Cooper Howell opened the run with back-to-back singles before Cesar Saavedra and Moore followed with back-to-back RBI doubles. Saavedra then scored on a balk before DeGarmo made it 12-6 with a single to left.

Gage Williams, NSU's leadoff hitter, clubbed his second solo home run in the top of the sixth to trim the deficit to 12-7 before the Tigers scraped together four more runs in the bottom of the sixth to help the lead balloon to 16-7.

Woolwine opened the frame with a double before Knox was hit by a pitch. Howell then laid down a sacrifice bunt, with the NSU first baseman opting to go after the lead runner at third. The throw was late and then muffed by the third baseman, allowing Woolwine to scamper home. Moore drove in two more with a single to right before Herrmann made it a nine-run lead with a two-out single to center.

The Tigers walked it off in the bottom of the eighth when Moore led off with his fifth hit of the game. Isaiah Ural followed with a double down the right field line, putting two runners in scoring position for DeGarmo. The senior came through with his fourth hit of the game, a single to right to drive in the run-rule-clinching run.

Brett Jacobs made his first career start, allowing six runs on five hits over 4.2 innings of work while striking out three batters. Kaleb Carpenter (3-2) earned the win after allowing one run on one hit over 2.1 innings of relief, striking out four. Trevor Baugh pitched the final inning, striking out one batter and walking one while allowing no hits.

Moore was 5-for-5 with four runs and four RBI, the first five-hit game for a Tiger since Herrmann did so last March (3/12/24 at NU). DeGarmo added five RBI and finished the game 4-for-5 at the dish. Woolwine had three hits and drove in three RBI, while Saavedra was 2-for-4 with three runs scored.

Sunday, April 13 KAYS: Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Guardians, 12:00pm&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Fort Hays State track and field teams turned in several standout performances over the weekend as they split competition between the Jo Meaker Classic &amp; Multis in Canyon, Texas, and the K.T. Woodman Classic in Wichita, Kan. Facing a strong field that included numerous NCAA Division I programs, the Tigers posted multiple top finishes and provisional marks across both meets.

The Jo Meaker Classic &amp; Multis saw  Annabeth Baalmann clear a school-record height of 13-9.25, breaking her own previous record from earlier this season. The mark not only earned her first place in the event but currently ranks her second in Division II and stands as a provisional qualifier for nationals.

In the men's decathlon, Nolan Churchman secured a second-place finish with 7,138 points, highlighted by a first-place finish in the long jump (24-6) and second in the 400m (49.24). His total also met the provisional qualifying standard. Teammate Drew Tolar placed eighth overall, also hitting a provisional mark with 6,578 points.

The pole vault squad made a statement on the men's side as well, sweeping multiple top spots. Brady Deges and Josiah Ball tied for second at 15-7.0.

Sprinter Nakari Morrical-Palmer continued his strong outdoor season, finishing eighth in the 400m (47.90) and 12th in the 200m with a provisional time of 20.98. The men's 4x100-meter relay team of Eddie McVay, Toby Wahlmeier, Avrey Albright, and Hayden Albright crossed the line in 40.71 seconds, good for sixth place and also a provisional qualifier.

On the women's side, Reba Mader claimed a third-place finish in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:02.33, while Jayme Hagerman had a strong showing in the horizontal jumps, placing fifth in the long jump (18-10.0) and 10th in the triple jump (37-1.75).

The K.T Woodman Classic saw Emily Diercks lead the way with a dominant performance in the women's 5000m, finishing first overall in a time of 16:55.67, hitting a provisional qualifying mark in the process. The Tigers placed six women in the top 35 in the event, including Ashlyn Harbaugh (12th, 17:47.79) and Emma Weiner (15th, 17:55.14).

In the men's steeplechase, Noah Morenz clocked 9:15.79 to finish fifth, while Christian Darrah earned a third-place finish in the men's 5000m (14:31.01), adding another top-five performance to the weekend tally.

Makenzie Premer led the women in the steeplechase with a third-place finish at 11:24.74, while Eden Bathurst secured a top-15 finish in the 800m, placing 14th in 2:18.34.

In the throws, Jessica Saunders placed sixth in the discus (148-1.0), while Emma Slade was close behind in eighth (144-10.0). Slade also competed in the shot put and hammer throw, helping round out a busy weekend for the Tigers' field athletes.

With the outdoor season in full swing, the Tigers will look to build on these strong performances as they continue to chase national qualifying marks and gear up for the KU Relays Thursday (April 17) and the Coyote Challenge (April 18).

👟Baalmann Breaks Record as Tigers Excel at Jo Meaker and Woodman Classics

CLEVELAND (AP) — Luis Ortiz allowed just one hit and struck out a career-high 10 in his home debut for Cleveland as the Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Saturday night to extend their winning streak to five games.

Ortiz (1-2) had his second straight strong outing, giving up just a home run in the fourth inning to Vinnie Pasquantino before leaving after 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander was acquired in December from Pittsburgh.

Gabriel Arias homered and José Ramírez hit a sacrifice fly off Mike Lorenzen (1-2) as the Guardians remained unbeaten at home. Arias connected in the sixth inning. He has three homers this season — all against Kansas City.

The Royals entered the ninth with just two hits before getting four straight singles and scoring twice against Guardians All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase, who hasn't been himself through the season's first two weeks.

Ortiz held Kansas City hitless until the fourth when Pasquantino drove a pitch over the wall in right-center with one out. It was Pasquantino's second homer and only the seventh in 2025 for the Royals, who came in tied with Toronto for the fewest in the majors.

Arias drove in Cleveland's first run with a single in the fourth. He has five RBIs in the last two games.

After giving up a one-out walk in the sixth while leading 2-1, Ortiz got a favorable called third strike from plate umpire Manny Gonzalez on an outside pitch to whiff Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. for the second time.

The Guardians are 5-0 at home for the first time since 2002, when they opened 7-0 in Progressive Field.

Royals LHP Cole Ragans (0-0, 2.81) had 11 strikeouts last week against Minnesota. He'll start the series finale against Cleveland's Ben Lively (0-1, 4.40), who got a no-decision against Kansas City in the season opener.

⚾ Ortiz strikes out career-high 10 as Guardians beat the Royals 

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State's late-inning magic never materialized on Saturday (April 12) afternoon as the 20th-ranked Tigers (25-10, 19-5 MIAA) dropped a 6-2 decision to Northeastern State (12-26, 9-15 MIAA) at Larks Park. Despite a long ball from Trey DeGarmo, the Tigers couldn't recover from a sixth-inning surge by the RiverHawks.

Fort Hays State opened the scoring in the second inning when Isaiah Ural reached on a single to center and advanced all the way to third on an error. Sebastian Burgos then drove him in with a groundout to short, giving the Tigers an early 1-0 lead. Northeastern State answered with two runs in the top of the third, thanks to a two-RBI double from Diego Murillo with the bases loaded.

DeGarmo briefly brought the Tigers even in the bottom of the third, launching a solo homer to left field for his 12th long ball of the season to make it 2-2.

The stalemate continued until the sixth inning, when Northeastern State capitalized in the sixth inning. Gage Williams delivered a two-run single down the third base line, and the RiverHawks would tack on another run moments later on a wild pitch to extend their lead to 5-2.

The RiverHawks added an insurance run in the eighth,  making it 6-2. FHSU had a few opportunities late, including Ural's third hit of the game and his stolen base in the ninth, but couldn't push anything across against Northeastern's Izac Sizemore, who tossed a complete game with seven strikeouts.

Despite the loss, a few Tigers turned in noteworthy performances. Ural led the offense with a 3-for-4 day at the plate, scoring once and adding a stolen base. DeGarmo finished 2-for-4 with the solo homer, and Cooper Howell contributed a pair of singles.

On the mound, Paul Panduro got the start, but was quickly relieved in the third by Kaleb Carpenter. Carpenter battled through 3.2 innings, allowing just two earned runs, while Brandon Chavez threw 3.1 innings in relief without giving up an earned run.

Fort Hays State will look to bounce back in the rubber match Sunday (April 13) at noon.

doubleheader sweep of the Holcomb Longhorns Friday in Hays. 

In the day's first game, Holcomb's leadoff hitter singled to

Hannah Rose started the offense in the bottom of the inning,
driving in Rebel with an RBI double after a pitch hit Rebel to start the
Monarchs’ first inning.

Brooke Koenigsman added an RBI double scoring Rose for a 2-0
lead.

Koenigsman stole third and scored on a Bria Windholz sacrifice
fly to the first basemen, making it 3-0.

Teagan Gottschalk made it 4-0 with an RBI double, and then Addison
