By Chris Kutz, K-State Athletics Communications OMAHA, Neb. – K-State was able to capture the first two sets on Sunday, but Creighton rallied from behind in front of its home crowd to beat the Wildcats, 3-2 (22-25, 22-25, 25-23, 26-24, 15-13), at the Creighton Classic in D.J. Sokol Arena. K-State (8-4) used nine of its season-high 13 blocks in the match to help capture the first two sets, but the offense of the Bluejays (6-7) came out of the intermission, behind a setter change to Maggie Baumert, to hit .299 over the final three sets. The loss for the Wildcats…
DETROIT (AP)– The Kansas City Royals signed Kendrys Morales last offseason to add some power to what had been a fairly punchless offense in 2014. “We expected him to have a great year,” manager Ned Yost said. Morales has indeed been productive, and on Sunday he enjoyed what might have been the best offensive game of his big league career, hitting three home runs in a 10-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. Morales also hit a triple and set a team record with 15 total bases. The Royals lowered their magic number to three to clinch the AL Central, which…

DETROIT (AP)– Ian Kinsler had the rare chance to celebrate scoring a game-winning run twice in 45 minutes. Kinsler homered to lead off the 11th inning and give the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night. “The nice thing about hitting one out is that the game is guaranteed to be over,” he said. “There was no reviewing that one.” The celebration at home was Kinsler’s second in three innings, but this one counted. Kinsler was initially called safe at home on a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, setting off a mob scene…
By Chris Kutz, K-State Athletics Communications OMAHA, Neb. – For the first time since 2011, K-State lost consecutive non-conference matches as the Wildcats dropped a five-set decision to Arkansas (25-19, 20-25, 21-25, 25-23, 11-15) on Saturday in D.J. Sokol Arena at the Creighton Classic. K-State (8-3), which lost to No. 11 Wisconsin in four sets on Friday, was unable to overcome the defense of Arkansas (9-2) that entered the weekend 10th in the country in opponent hitting percentage. The Wildcats were out-hit by the Razorbacks, .239-.164, as Arkansas tallied 15 team blocks and 95 digs. The Wildcats could not hit…
For most of Saturday’s game, it looked like red zone issues for the Kansas State offense would result in a stunning loss in the Wildcats’ non-conference finale. But K-State made the bigger plays at the biggest moments to overcome Louisiana Tech’s upset bid, 39-33, in triple overtime at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. “I will say I’m proud of them,” Snyder said. “We have a group of guys who had not been in that situation before. Through heck and high water, they managed to carve their way through it. “I’m not sure how they did it, but at least we’re 3-0.”…
