Kansas high school state baseball recaps with stats
6A state recap: Heights, Maize both eliminated in quarterfinals
A successful 22-win season came to an end for Wichita Heights in a 14-0 loss to Shawnee Mission East in the quarterfinals of the 6A state tournament in Lawrence. The Falcons were limited to three hits, two from Cooper Oakley, as SM East (20-9) advanced with a five-inning run-rule victory.
In another opening-round game, Blue Valley West fended off a scrappy Maize team in an 8-5 win. The Eagles (21-8) trailed 5-1 after two innings but rallied to tie the game in the top of the fourth with RBI hits from Gunner Hewitt, Brady Jackson, Sam Soderstrom and Brodie Jarvis. Four errors spelled the doom for Maize, which accounted for five of the eight runs. The Eagles brought the game-tying run to the plate with two runners on and one out, but couldn’t find a hit to extend the game.
5A state recap: Bishop Carroll stunned by Cinderella upset
Salina Central entered the postseason as the No. 16 seed in the 5A West standings.
After taking down Maize South en route to a surprise state bid, the Mustangs pulled off another stunner with a 7-2 victory over defending champion Bishop Carroll to advance to the state semifinals. Salina Central (10-18) will play either Spring Hill or Shawnee Heights in Friday’s 11 a.m. semifinal at Eck Stadium.
After falling behind 1-0 after one inning, the top-seeded Golden Eagles (22-6) tied the game the following inning on a RBI single by Payton Flax. The Mustangs pulled back in front in the third inning with a run, which was answered by Carroll in the bottom of the fifth inning with a two-out RBI double by Ian Lager to tie the game.
Carroll inserted ace Shane Holman with the game tied in the top of the sixth inning, but Salina Central’s Keaton Smith laced a bases-clearing double to score three runs and open up a 5-2 lead. The Mustangs added two more runs in the top of the seventh inning to extend their lead.
Carroll put two runners on in the bottom of the seventh inning, but the rally was extinguished without a run scoring.
3A state recap: Trinity rolls to win
It only took five innings of work for top-seeded Trinity Academy to steamroll its way to a 13-3 run-rule victory over Marysville to open the 3A state tournament in Manhattan.
The Knights (21-4) will play either Burlington or Frontenac in Friday’s 11 a.m. semifinal game at Tointon Family Stadium.
Senior ace Jack Cary lowered his season ERA to 0.63 with 2⅔ scoreless innings on just 30 pitches, which allows him to be used for Trinity’s title run on Friday.
Trinity’s offense took care of the rest, as Josiah Sems went 3-for-3 with a triple and a double, while Jackson Witt notched a team-high three RBIs. Cary, Matt Omundsen, Ethan Eberhardt, Kyler Moore, Braden Roberts and Nolan Willson all delivered RBIs for the Knights, which led 6-0 after three innings and tacked on six more runs in the fourth inning.
2-1A state recap: Medicine Lodge wins, Marion drops opener
Medicine Lodge held off a late rally from Valley Falls to secure a 6-5 win in an opening-round game at the 2-1A state tournament in Great Bend.
Medicine Lodge led 5-0 after five innings and 6-2 entering the bottom of the seventh inning, but Valley Falls rallied for three runs to claw back to within one. With the game-tying run on second base, Jack Schreiner recorded the out to seal the victory for Medicine Lodge. Carter Cunningham nearly went the entire way on the mound, while Schreiner and Jake Fisher each supplied a pair of RBIs for Medicine Lodge, which will face Thomas More Prep in Friday’s 11 a.m. semifinals.
In another opening-round game, Marion’s offense was limited to three hits in a 9-0 loss to seventh-seeded Thomas More Prep.
Marion leadoff hitter Jack Lanning finished with two of the team’s three hits, while players like Trevor Schafers, Gavin Wasmuth, Jameson Looper, Lane Smith, Cole Smith and Cooper Bailey helped the Warriors to a 21-win season and state bid.
