GAMESTORY: NPCC Knights split DH with NJC

North Platte – Inconsistency has been the word of the season for the NPCC Knights softball team. The weather has thrown their schedule out of wack and as such, has lead to very few opportunities for the team to get any sort of rhythm.

As such the team has had few opportunities to grow as the season progresses.

“Its hard for any team, I mean when you expect to play six to eight games a week but are forced to play only two, maybe four due to weather. Its hard for a team to grow and to learn in a game environment” according to head coach Janelle Higgins.

That inconsistent play was on display against Northeastern Junior College last night.

The Knights came into the game ready to beat a team that they had late leads on last time they played in March.

The Plainswomen would have other ideas. The very first batter of the day for the Plainswomen, Maddy Rule would take an 0-1 pitch an take it to straightaway center field for a solo home run. Two quick outs would follow and it looked like the Knights pitcher Ashlynn Krueger had settled down. A bloop single would set up another home run in the first by Makaila Chadwick. The Knights would end the first down 3-0.

In the bottom of the inning, the Knights would get two base runners with two outs but would fail to bring anyone in.

Both teams traded efficient half innings in the 2nd and the score would remain 3-0.

The Plainswomen would add another run in the 3rd on a Sac Fly by Gracie Cordova to lead 4-0. Meanwhile, Makaila Chadwick the starting pitcher for the Plainswomen was keeping the Knights at bay.

A four-run 4th inning by the Plainswomen would seal the fate of the Knights in the opening game of the doubleheader. They would go on to take the 10-0 loss in 5 innings. Mikaila Chadwick the pitcher for the Plainswomen went on to only allow two hits, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts in the win.

Game two would go very different for both teams. After a few big changes in the lineup for head coach Janelle Higgins, the Knights came out and responded in a big way.

The Plainswomen would once again strike first by manufacturing a run in the opening inning. Emily Marsden would keep them to just the one run.

In the bottom of the first, the Knights would find some of the offense they were missing. With two runners on and two outs, Kaylee Bohnsack would hit a deep double to right center field which would give the Knights the first lead of the day 2-1.

Both pitchers would keep the other team scoreless in the 2nd.

In the third, it looked like the Plainswomen would once again open up the game on offense. They would score a pair of runs before loading the bases. Emily Marsden would walk in a run with two outs before getting Danielle Gonzales to ground out and the Knights would head into the bottom of the third down 4-2.

The Knights would once again struggle to get any runners on and with two outs in the bottom of the third Emily Marsden would come up to bat.  Not wanting the Pitcher Erin Hersey to get any rhythm against her, Marsden would swing at the first pitch and take the ball deep into right field for a solo home run that would cut the NJC lead 4-3.

The fourth inning would see another home run by the Plainswomen, a two-run shot by Maddy Rule. The Knights would respond with a pair of singles by Sienna Pfaff and Maddie Liddell followed by a double by Mikayla Gibson to score both. Gibson would be tagged out trying to stretch that double into a single.

After 4 innings of play, the Knights were only down one run 6-5.

Marsden would keep the momentum on the Knights side with a 6 pitch 5th inning that included a slick double play in which Marsden caught a hard line drive and doubled off a runner at first.

Knights would add a run in the bottom of the fifth to tie things at 6-6.

In the sixth, it looked like the Knights were going to give the game away late. Maddy Rule would draw a one-out walk, would move to second base on a passed ball. On the very next pitch, Maddie Liddell would overthrow Willow Chiddy on an attempt to tag out Rule at second. The ball would skip into center field allowing Rule to score from second base. Marsden would shut down the rest of the Plainswomen in the inning to keep it close, 7-6.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Knights would show the never say die attitude that coach Higgins has referred to all season. With two outs and a runner on second Willow Chitty would come up to bat. Chitty coming into the doubleheader was batting .574 good enough for third in the nation. She would put that hot bat on display lacing a double to right center and tying the game at seven all. Hallei Morales would then come up to bat.

Morales would take the first pitch for a ball. The next pitch she would hit a soft popup that bounced out of the glove of shortstop Maddy Rule. Willow Chitty was moving on contact and would beat the throw to the plate and the Knights would have their first lead since the 2nd inning, 8-7.

Emily Marsden would shut the door in the top of the 7th and the Knights would earn the split.

The Knights have just 6 games (3 double headers) left on the season before they travel to Beatrice on May 4th to play Southeast in the first round of Region IX play.

 

Central Community College takes two from North Platte

The Central Community College softball team took a pair of games from North Platte Tuesday by the scores of 18-3 and 18-14.

“We never gave up, we dug ourselves into big holes both games and had opportunities in almost every inning to help ourselves out and just fell short,” said North Platte Coach Janelle Higgins.

The Raiders opened up the day with an eight-run first inning and cruised to the win in the first game and had three big innings in the second game to account for 15 runs.

“We put a lot of pressure on ourselves today and played not to lose instead of playing our game,” Higgins said.

Willow Chitty (North Platte) had a home run and two of the RBIs in Game 1 and went three-for-five in Game 2 with three more RBIs. The Knights were held to four hits in the first game but banged out eight extra-base hits in Game 2.

“We have to continue to trust each other and execute our individual roles,” Higgins said.

Central Improves to 10-20 on the season and 5-5 in Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference play.

North Platte is 11-23 and after winning the first conference game of the year in Columbus fall to 1-7 in the NCCAC.

The Knights are right back at in at home Wednesday with Northeastern Junior College starting at 4 p.m.

“We have a lot of games left and can still have an opportunity to win a lot of games,” Higgins said.

You can follow homes games broadcast on 98.1 FM / 1410 AM or on the Internet at www.northplattepost.com.

Game 1 – Central CC 18, North Platte 3: The Raiders launched a couple first-inning home runs and never looked back scoring eight times in the first, four in the second, and six more in the fourth inning.

North Platte’s offense was limited to a Kayleigh Bucio (Rialto, Calif.) double in the second, a Willow Chitty homer run in the third inning accounting for two runs, a third-inning single from Megan Hernandez-Bellew (Broomfield, Colo.) and a Mikayla Gibson (West Valley, Utah) solo home run in the fourth inning.

Hailey Wilkins (Tyler, Texas) started the game but only lasted two-third of an inning. Emily Marsden (Papillion) went 4.1 innings.

Game 2 – Central CC 18, North Platte 14: The team from Columbus scored four times in the first inning, but North Platte responded with three runs in the bottom of the first and scored five times in the second to take an 8-4 lead.

“In Game 2, we adjusted to their pitching changes well but we got caught on our heels when we took a lead and then had to battle back again and we ran out of steam,” Higgins said.

The Knights scored in the first, keyed by a Hallei Morales (North Platte) double, a Willow Chitty single and a Megan Hernandez-Bellew double. In the second inning, Kayleigh Bucio (Rialto, Calif.) delivered an RBI single to tie the game. Emily Marsden doubled in two runs to give the Knights a 6-4 lead. Chitty and Alea Binkly (Council Bluffs, Iowa) doubled back-to-back to put North Platte up 8-4.

A pair of Central errors to start the third inning set the table for Morales to single in one run with another run scoring on a passed ball to put the Knights in front 10-4.

Central scored six runs in the fourth inning with four straight singles, a hit batter and another single to make it 10-8 then a North Platte error led to two more Central runs and a tie game. The Knights got two runs back in the bottom of the fourth on a Central error, a Bucio double and a Marsden to take back the lead 12-10.

The Raiders scored once in the fifth and five times in the sixth to lead. 16-12 lead and maintained the margin through the seventh for the win.

North Platte had 12 hits in the game with Chitty leading the way with three. Marsden, Morales and Bucio each had two hits.

Ashylnn Krueger (Littleton, Colo.) pitched the first four innings, Hailey Wilkins and Marsden both threw one inning.

Fort Hays State shotgun team celebrates pinnacle season

By DIANE GASPER-O’BRIEN
FHSU University Relations and Marketing

The last time a Fort Hays State University team finished a season as undefeated national champions, Austin Svoboda was a toddler who hadn’t yet celebrated his second birthday, and Riley Ross had not even been born.

That was 1996, when the Tiger men’s basketball team completed a 34-0 season winning the NCAA Division II national championship.

It took 23 years, but an FHSU team recorded a similar feat this year.

Led by standout senior Svoboda and up-and-coming sophomore Ross, the shotgun team completed an undefeated season this school year, highlighted by national championships both semesters.

After winning the Scholarship Clay Target Program (SCTP) national title for the second time in three years last fall, Fort Hays State last month avenged its loss in last year’s Association of College Unions International (ACUI) Clay Target Championships, where it finished second.

FHSU won six meets in the fall season and four this spring to finish 10-0 for the 2018-19 school year.

Claiming first place in four team events and second in two others, Fort Hays State beat runner-up Martin Methodist College out of Tennessee by 10 points at the ACUI season finale in San Antonio, Texas, last month. That was the same team that FHSU beat at the SCTP national meet in Marengo, Ohio, last November.

Those titles were in Division II – for schools with 10 to 20 competitors. The ACUI meet featured 884 total competitors from 91 schools in four divisions.

“It was definitely a goal to win (the ACUI) after finishing second last year,” Svoboda said. “We wanted to come back and take this one, especially since we are graduating five people.”

It was the fifth national team championship for Fort Hays State – to go along with five runner-up performances – since 2011.

“They knew they were capable of performing at a higher level last year,” said Duane Shepherd, in his 14th year of coaching the shotgun team. “They entered this year with a mission in mind and went out and achieved it.”

Svoboda has played an integral part of FHSU teams since 2012, and his swan song was one to remember. He claimed first place individually in two events and was a member of all four team event winners for Fort Hays State in claiming the individual high overall award.

Shepherd said that Svoboda’s focus has always been on team first. But he admitted that “it’s pretty hard to deny what he has accomplished as an individual.”

“He is very talented individually,” Shepherd said. “He has the competitive mental game where he can turn it on and turn it off.”

Ross, who grew up near Svoboda – both are from Nebraska – said he has been watching, and trying to emulate, Svoboda for years.

“I watched him all through high school, and he never ceases to amaze me what he can shoot,” Ross said. “Whenever you heard that Austin Svoboda was going to shoot, you always wanted to go watch.”

Ross, who had been shooting since he was 4 years old, learned his junior year in high school that FHSU had a shotgun team. Finding out that Svoboda went there didn’t hurt, either.

“I went to a shoot here my junior year, and I found out they had a good ag major, so it was in the back of my mind from there on,” Ross said. “I knew then that this is where I was going to go.”

Ross fit in with the shotgun team immediately, winning the high overall individual award at nationals as a freshman.

Last month, he was a member of three first-place teams and one runner-up team, grabbing All-America honors along with seniors Cody Escritt, Jake Whipple, Jerrod Lies and Josh Crankshaw.

Svoboda, in his sixth year at FHSU, was missing from that list only because competitors can only be named All-American four years, and he accomplished that feat two years ago.

Escritt, Whipple and Lies are three of the graduating seniors along with Svoboda, but Whipple will be back for another year while pursuing a graduate degree.

Whipple was a member of three first-place team events and one runner-up at nationals and will be counted on to help lead next year’s team along with Ross.

Ross said he is up to the challenge.

“Austin is just a great team leader, and I’ve learned a lot from him,” Ross said. “He is irreplaceable. We will just need to step it up and carry on.”

In addition to being named All-American, Escritt finished first in two individual events and recorded a perfect score of 100. Several of the seniors scored in the high 90s at nationals.

“It was rewarding to see those seniors to go out on such a high note,” Shepherd said.

He pointed out several reasons the shotgun team is successful year after year, both in and out of the classroom.

“I’m proud of the fact that these kids are here of their own accord, because we don’t have scholarships for our shotgun team,” Shepherd said. “They come in with a commitment in mind – to be successful on the team and in academics. They are all pulling for a common goal, and they support each other well. They get their education and graduate.”

Team members will tell you there are two more reasons for their success – Shepherd and his wife, Teresa.

“It wouldn’t be a program without them,” Ross said. “Duane always says he’s the bus driver, but he does so much more – and a lot behind the scenes. And Teresa is the team mom. She takes care of us so well.”

Shepherd agreed that his wife adds to the program.

“She’s an integral part of this group,” he said. “In fact, she’s the driving force. We complement each other well.”

While the graduating seniors are looking ahead to their future, they feel the shotgun team will continue to excel without them.

“Riley Ross is very talented,” Svoboda said, “and we have some people down the bench who can shoot good scores at about any time. It’s their time to shine now.”

Shepherd agreed.

“There’s no doubt about it, we will miss these young people who are leaving the program. They put a lot of time into developing their skills,” he said. “But we had a junior varsity this year, and they are ready to step up and start writing their chapter in this book.”
