Kaelen Culpepper hit a three-run home run as part of Kansas State’s six-run fifth inning and the Wildcats beat host Arkansas 7-6 Saturday night at the Fayetteville Regional. Kansas State (34-24) will play Arkansas or Southeast Missouri State — which play earlier in the day — in the finals on Sunday. Jackson Wentworth scattered seven hits and three walks across 5 2/3 innings while allowing two earned runs to improve to 5-5 this season.
Kansas State is one win away from advancing to the NCAA Tournament after upsetting the top-seeded Arkansas Razorbacks in the second game of the Fayetteville Regional, 7-6. The Wildcats were led by their bats, which caught fire in the middle innings to push the Wildcats to a 6-2 lead in the fifth inning. An eighth-inning home run by Nick English gave the Bat Cats extra cushion as Tyson Neighbors shut the door on Arkansas's offense.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced a new print and digital awareness campaign to commemorate the centennial. The ads will launch today and run through the end of the month, and will reach Native communities in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, and Wisconsin through a digital campaign and through print ads in local and national Native-owned publications. While the ads commemorate this important centennial, they also highlight the barriers to the ballot box that continue to persist for Native Americans.
