KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Fort Hays State baseball team garnered seven recognitions from the 2024 MIAA Baseball Postseason Awards and All-MIAA Teams, announced Thursday (May 2) by the league office. Six different Tigers were recognized, including one first-team pick, three third-team selections, one honorable mention accolade and two Gold Glove Award recipients.

Ty Riley&nbsp;was a first team selection at starting pitcher, becoming the first Tiger to receive first-team status in 11 years. Third team honors went to Elliott Herrmann&nbsp;at first base and Brady Kreutzer and Isaiah Ural&nbsp;in the outfield. Rafael Espinoza&nbsp;was an honorable mention pick at starting pitcher, while Herrmann (1B) and Trey DeGarmo&nbsp;(3B) both earned Gold Glove Awards at their positions. They are the first two Tigers to earn that distinction that was first awarded in 2017.

Riley earned first-team status after a stellar first season on the mound as a Tiger. The junior right hander led FHSU in ERA (3.28), WHIP (1.31), batting average against (.212) and strikeouts (73). His 73 strikeouts are third-most in the MIAA while he ranks second in the conference in opposing batting average and third in ERA. Riley needs two strikeouts to crack the top 10 list in a single season at FHSU, while his average of 1.21 strikeouts per inning currently ranks third-best in a single season in team history. He tied for second on the team with four victories.

The Bentonville, Ark. native struck out five or more batters seven times in 14 appearances, including four contests with eight or more punchouts. He was named MIAA Pitcher of the Week after striking out 12 batters in 6.0 innings against Pittsburg State in April.

Herrmann collected third-team honors after leading the team and ranking third in the conference with 14 home runs. The Castle Rock, Colo. native drove in a team-high 54 RBI in the regular season, ninth-most in the league. He was hit by a pitch 14 times on the year, tied for sixth-most in a single season in program history. Herrmann needs two home runs to crack the top 10 list in a single season at FHSU. He recorded multiple hits 17 times, including a team-best five base knocks in a win over Newman in March. Herrmann was named MIAA co-Hitter of the Week back in March after batting 8-for-15 with 14 RBI across five games.

The first baseman also played stellar defense at first base, earning the Gold Glove award after posting a fielding percentage of .992 on 387 chances. He compiled 369 putouts, 15 assists and was involved in 24 double plays while committing just three errors on the season.

Kreutzer put together an impressive junior campaign, leading the Tigers in batting average (.335), slugging percentage (.654), OPS (1.069), hits (63), runs scored (53), triples (seven) and total bases (123). The Hays native tied the school record with his seven triples this season, which leads the conference and ranks third in all Division II. He was seventh in the league and in the top 50 nationally in total bases. The left fielder led FHSU with 19 multi-hit games this season and had the longest hitting streak of the year at 17 games. He scored a team-high four runs in a win over Newman in March. Kreutzer also led the team with six sacrifice flies, tied for the most in the conference.

Ural nabbed All-MIAA honors for a second-consecutive season after picking up honorable mention accolades last year. He received third-team honors this year after leading the team in on-base percentage (.417) and doubles (15). The center fielder ranked second on the team in batting average (.322) and stolen bases (12) while totaling 39 runs, 39 RBI and nine home runs. The Albuquerque, N.M. native turned things up a notch over the last month of the season, finishing the regular season on a 14-game hitting streak and a 16-game reached base streak. He is batting .483 (29-for-60) over the hitting streak with 17 RBI. He was named MIAA co-Hitter of the Week in the middle of the hitting streak after clubbing four home runs and slugging 1.158 across four games.

Espinoza had a solid freshman season on the mound for the Tigers, tossing the only two nine-inning complete games for the team. He was second on the team amongst qualified pitchers with a WHIP of 1.45 and a batting average against of .279. The Imperial, Calif. native posted an ERA of 5.40 and was tied for second on the pitching staff with four victories, striking out 38 batters in 55.0 innings of work.

DeGarmo has been a brick wall at third base all season, regularly making spectacular plays look routine. He did not commit an error across the first 47 games of the season, finishing the year with a fielding percentage of .985 thanks to 32 putouts, 100 assists and two errors on 134 chances. He was involved in seven double plays.

Fort Hays State's five All-MIAA selections are the most in a single season for the Tigers since 2016, while this is the first time since 2007 that FHSU has had at least four players on the first, second and third teams.

The Tigers will play in the postseason for the first time in 11 years beginning Friday (May 3, 6 p.m.) when FHSU battles top-seeded Central Missouri in a best-of-three quarterfinal series in Warrensburg, Mo.

EDMOND, Okla. – Fort Hays State Softball picked up its first postseason play win since the 2014 season on Wednesday evening at Gerry Pinkston Stadium. The No. 10 seeded Tigers won 2-1 over the No. 7 seeded Griffons of Missouri Western to improve to 27-24 overall. The Tigers moved on to Thursday night's quarterfinal game against No. 2 seed Pittsburg State. Missouri Western closed its season at 31-20 overall.

The Tigers snapped their 10-game losing skid in MIAA Tournament games behind a strong pitching effort from Savanah Egger, who allowed only one run on three hits. She had a shutout going through the first five innings with just one hit allowed before the Griffons generated a run off a pair of hits in the sixth. Egger buckled down in a high leverage moment and got a big strikeout to avoid any further damage, keeping the Tigers on top by one.

The Tigers built a 2-0 lead for Egger, which proved to be enough to collect her 15th&nbsp;win and 21st&nbsp;complete game of the season. FHSU came out of the gate with a run in the first inning, thanks to back-to-back singles by Carly Stuke&nbsp;and Peyton Shepard&nbsp;to open the game. Alondra Dominguez&nbsp;drove in the first run of the game with an RBI double, scoring Stuke. An error by the Griffons in the fifth inning led to another run for the Tigers when Loren Beggs&nbsp;knocked in Shepard with an RBI single.

A big call provided some tense moments in the Griffons sixth. They had a pair of hits to open the inning and then scored their only run on an obstruction call at home plate. The throw took Madison Pierce&nbsp;into the runner's path, but the decision stood after review. Egger nailed down the final two outs of the inning with a flyout and then a big swinging strikeout to avoid any further damage. Egger retired the side in order in the seventh to slam the door shut on the Griffons, including one of her five strikeouts in the game

Fort Hays State outhit Missouri Western 8-3 in the game. Lilliana Ramirez-Johnson&nbsp;led the Tigers with two hits.

Sydney Rader also threw a complete game for the Griffons, finishing with six strikeouts to go with her one earned run allowed.

Fort Hays State faces Pittsburg State in the quarterfinals on Thursday night (March 2) at 6:30 p.m. It will be the fourth quarterfinal game of the day at Gerry Pinkston Stadium in Edmond.

🥎 Tigers knock off Griffons in MIAA Tournament Opening Round

TORONTO (AP) — Seth Lugo pitched seven strong innings to win for the fifth time in seven starts, Michael Massey hit a three-run home run and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Wednesday.

Bobby Witt Jr. had two hits, scored once and also drove in a run as the Royals won for the fifth time in seven meetings with Toronto.

Witt also turned in a highlight defensive play,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/BallySportsKC/status/1785772790953447504">making a sliding stop and throwing from one knee</a>&nbsp;to retire Bo Bichette for the final out of the sixth inning.

Salvador Perez had an RBI single and extended his career-best streak of reaching base safely to 21 games. His 27 RBIs lead the American League.

Massey homered off right-hander Nate Pearson in the eighth, his second in two games. He finished with four RBIs.

Lugo (5-1) allowed just one hit, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s single in the first, until Toronto catcher Danny Jansen homered with two outs in the seventh. The solo blast was Jansen’s third of the season.

Lugo walked two and struck out eight. He lowered his ERA to 1.60.

Chris Stratton worked the eighth and Nick Anderson finished.

Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (2-5) didn’t allow a hit through five innings, but had his outing unravel after Royals center fielder Kyle Isbel doubled to begin the sixth.

Maikel Garcia sacrificed Isbel to third and Witt followed with a tiebreaking single through the drawn-in infield.

Vinnie Pasquantino doubled, advancing Witt to third, and Perez made it 2-0 with another base hit through the infield. Massey’s RBI groundout capped the inning.

Bassitt lost his third straight start, allowing three runs and four hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out four.

The Royals used replay review to confirm that Perez was hit by a two-out pitch in the fourth inning. Massey struck out to end the frame.

Perez started at catcher for Kansas City. He was scratched from Monday’s start behind the plate but came on as a pinch hitter. Perez started at first base Tuesday.

Royals: RHP Brady Singer (2-1, 2.62) is scheduled to start Friday as Kansas City hosts Texas. RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 4.24) goes for the Rangers.

Blue Jays: LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-2, 294 ERA) is expected to start Friday as Toronto visits Washington for a three-game series.

MIAA Tournament – May 1-4 Edmond, Okla. – Gerry Pinkston Stadium University of Central Oklahoma Opening Round – May 1 / Quarterfinals – May 2 / Semifinals – May 3 / Championship – May 4

Opening Round – Wednesday, May 1 – 5:30 p.m. #10 seed Fort Hays State (26-24, 10-16 MIAA) vs.#7 seed Missouri Western (31-19, 13-13 MIAA) Winner moves on to face #2 seed Pittsburg State in Quarterfinals Thursday

Fort Hays State is making its third MIAA Tournament appearance in the last four years, starting on Wednesday in Edmond, Okla. The tournament is taking place at Gerry Pinkston Stadium, home venue of the University of Central Oklahoma, selected as the host site this season. Fort Hays State enters the tournament as the No. 10 seed and will take on No. 7 seed Missouri Western in the opening round on Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m.

First Year of Single-Elimination Format This is the first time the MIAA is using a single-elimination format for the MIAA Tournament and the field has expanded to 10 teams this season. It is the second time in the last four years the format has changed from the traditional 8-team, double-elimination format the conference used for several years since FHSU joined the conference in 2006-07. Back in 2021, the tournament format changed to what is currently used for baseball, which is an 8-team format that starts with a best-of-3 series in the opening round, then moves to a 4-team double elimination tournament the following weekend between the four advancing teams in the best-of-3 series. That format lasted for only a year before the 8-team, double-elimination format was back in place in 2022 and 2023.

The League is Still Deep The MIAA has 7 teams with at least 30 wins this season, including 3 teams with 40 or more wins. All of the teams with at least 40 wins (Pittsburg State, Central Oklahoma, Rogers State) are among the top 15 of the NFCA national rankings, and all occupy the top three spots in the NCAA Central Region Rankings. Last year, the MIAA had an unprecedented nine teams finish with at least 30 wins overall on the season, which included FHSU. One of those nine 30-win teams last year did not make the MIAA Tournament (Northeastern State). All 10 of the teams competing in the MIAA Tournament this year have at least 23 wins on the season and 11 of the 14 teams in the MIAA will finish with at least 20 wins on the season.

Opening Round #7 seed – Missouri Western (31-19, 13-13 MIAA)Series Record: MWSU leads 29-13-Since FHSU has been a member of the MIAA (2007), Missouri Western has won a pair of MIAA Tournament titles (2014, 2016). The Griffons also won two regular season titles in that span, sharing with Nebraska-Omaha and Emporia State in 2011 and outright in 2016.-FHSU and MWSU have met in the MIAA Tournament seven times. FHSU holds a 4-3 advantage in those contests. The last time the teams met in the tournament was in 2015, which resulted in an 8-0 win for the Griffons in Overland Park, Kan.

-FHSU's last win over MWSU in the MIAA Tournament was in 2013 by a score of 3-0 in Overland Park, Kan., which was also the last time the Tigers defeated the Griffons outside of Hays. -MWSU leads the all-time series with FHSU 29-13. The Griffons swept the regular season doubleheader this year in St. Joseph by scores of 4-2 and 13-5. -By sweeping the doubleheader in St. Joseph earlier this season, MWSU has now won 15 straight games against FHSU on its home field. -Offensively, Kalee Higdon leads the Griffons with a .394 batting average. Mackenzie DeVine leads MWSU in RBIs (35) and extra-base hits (19). -Sydney Rader leads MWSU pitching with a 1.90 ERA and 15-6 record, recording 143 strikeouts in 154.2 innings. She has 5 shutouts for the season. -Both FHSU and MWSU have won by shutout 8 times this season.

TORONTO (AP) — Michael Massey hit a two-run home run, Cole Ragans struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Bobby Witt Jr. reached base three times and drove in a run as the Royals improved to 17-11 in April. It’s the most victories Kansas City has had in a month since going 17-9 in June 2017.

Ragans (2-2) allowed one run and four hits. The left-hander left because of cramping in his left calf after walking consecutive batters. John Schreiber came on and retired Cavan Biggio to end the inning.

Schreiber got four outs and right-hander James McArthur finished for his seventh save in eight chances.

Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos (4-2) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings but lost to Ragans for the second straight outing. Ragans got the win as the Royals won a rain-shortened game in Kansas City last Thursday.

Massey struck out to end Monday’s 6-5 loss, stranding the tying run at third base. On Tuesday, the second baseman homered on the second pitch he saw from Berríos in the second inning.

Toronto’s Bo Bichette hit a two-out RBI single in the sixth but Witt made it 3-1 with an RBI double off Erik Swanson in the eighth. Génesis Cabrera replaced Swanson and gave up an RBI double to Vinnie Pasquantino.

Salvador Perez started at first base for Kansas City one night after being scratched from a start behind the plate because of a sore back. Perez had a pinch hit single in the ninth inning of Monday’s 6-5 loss and was replaced by a pinch runner.

With a leadoff single in the second inning Tuesday, Perez extended his career-best streak of reaching base safely to 20 games.

Toronto’s Davis Schneider hit a one-out single in the second but Royals right fielder Hunter Renfroe threw Schneider out at second base as he tried to extend his hit. Renfroe leads the major leagues with 67 outfield assists since 2017.

George Springer started in center field for the Blue Jays. He didn’t make a single start in center in 2023.

Royals: Kansas City recalled RHP Colin Selby from Triple-A Omaha and optioned RHP Jonathan Bowlan to Triple-A.

Blue Jays: Toronto put RHP Yariel Rodríguez (back) on the 15-day IL and recalled RHP Zach Pop from Triple-A Buffalo. Rodríguez started Monday, allowing three runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. … RHP Alek Manoah (shoulder) allowed one run and two hits in six innings in a rehab start at Triple-A. Manoah struck out 12 and walked two.

Blue Jays RHP Chris Bassitt (2-4, 5.64) is expected to start Wednesday's series finale. Kansas City’s scheduled starter is RHP Seth Lugo (4-1, 1.66).

🥎 Hays claims share of WAC title with sweep

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Peyton Shepard and Loren Beggs&nbsp;of the Fort Hays State softball team were each named All-MIAA on Tuesday. Both were honorable mention selections.

Also earning honors was Regan Curry, named to the Gold Glove Team at shortstop. The All-MIAA and Gold Glove Teams are selected by the head coaches within the MIAA.

Beggs, a senior third baseman, is hitting .315 for the 2024 season entering the MIAA Tournament. She leads the Tigers in home runs (3) and RBIs (26) this season. She is tied for the team lead in extra-base hits with 11. Beggs has also put together one of her best defensive seasons with a .950 fielding percentage at third base and ranks second on the team in defensive assists with 86.Curry, junior shortstop, has enjoyed another rock-solid season defensively for the Tigers. She holds a .963 fielding percentage for the season with just six errors on 164 defensive chances, leading the Tigers in defensive assists with 91.
