Wichita Wild wraps up regular season with rout - 07/03/2009

PARK CITY — While the most popular item on the current menu might be the Dixie Wooten-to-Clinton Solomon touchdown connection, the staple of any good Wichita Wild diet remains the same.

That is, plenty of Fudge.

Behind running back Darius Fudge's seven rushing touchdowns — an Indoor Football League record — and 148 yards rushing on 18 carries, Wichita steamrolled to a 76-9 win over the Alaska Wild on Thursday night at Hartman Arena in its final regular season game.

"Since we've got the new quarterback, it seems like my carries have gone down a little bit," Fudge said. "I just wanted to make sure I made the most of my carries."

Wichita (8-6) must now wait a week to learn its playoff fate, which will most likely be either a road game at Omaha or Bloomington (Ill.)

Royals offense falters against Chicago - 07/03/2009

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —More of the same.

The Royals wasted another fine performance froma starting pitcher Thursday night — that makes three in a row — in a 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

In isolation, this one was understandable. The Royals were matched against Chicago ace Mark Buehrle, who can do this to anyone and has often done it in the past to the Royals.

But the overall offensive flat-lining is accelerating.

The Royals have scored just three runs in losing their last three games; 19 runs in losing five of their last seven; and 31 runs in losing eight of their last 12.

King's memory drives Chappell - 07/03/2009

Zach Chappell's racing success started early, when he won the American Sprint Car Series in 2001 at 18 to become the series' youngest winner.

That success has continued. Chappell, 27, is the National Championship Racing Association's sprint series leader heading into Saturday's race at 81 Speedway.

And while Chappell, from Talala, Okla., is in his first season driving for Jetmore's Danny King, their connections are deep.

Chappell was friends with King's son, Steve, who died after a crash in a qualifying race in Knoxville, Iowa, in 2006.

"That night I was off because I raced the night before, so all my guys were helping (Steve King)," Chappell said. "We were in his pit all night long."

Wingnuts rally for victory - 07/03/2009

It's easy to say that, after clinching the American Association North Division first-half title and a playoff berth on Sunday, the final six games of the half are meaningless to the Wingnuts.

They're taking a different approach, however. At least, that's a reasonable conclusion after Wichita scored three runs in the seventh on Thursday to erase a two-run deficit against Sioux City and hold on for a 4-3 win at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.

The Wingnuts, who had a nine-game winning streak snapped by Sioux City on Wednesday, improved to 9-1 against the Explorers this season and avoided losing back-to-back games at home for the first time in 2009.

"I don't want to get the mindset where we're going to take nights off — we're not going to take any nights off," Wichita manager Kevin Hooper said. "These games count."

Wichita was stymied during much of Sioux City starter Nick Singleton's 6 2/3 innings. But catcher Joe Muich beat out an infield single to start the bottom of the seventh on a throw that pulled first baseman Justin Toole off the bag.

Steven will transfer from Wichita State to Friends - 07/03/2009

Former Bishop Carroll standout Brett Steven has transferred to Friends University after spending his freshman year as a walk-on basketball player at Wichita State.

Steven, a 6-foot-2 guard, played in six games for the Shockers. He joins a Friends team that has been to the NAIA Division II national tournament three times in the last five seasons, but struggled to a sixth-place finish in the KCAC last year.

"I know Brett is going to come in and compete," Friends coach Dale Faber said. "He'll have benefited from playing for Coach (Gregg) Marshall for a year... you know he means business when he shows up to practice every day."

Steven was a third-team all-state selection for Carroll in 2008, averaging 16.2 points and leading the Eagles to a second-place finish at the Class 5A tournament.

WichitaBaseball in Wichita
The art of baseball is evident at Wichita State University’s Eck Stadium. The bronze sculpture, “Put Me in Coach,” overlooks the stadium entry. Behind it a 70-foot mural, the longest of its kind at any university ballpark, depicts WSU’s storied baseball history. The art of baseball has also been evident on Wichita’s playing fields for well over a century. During and after the Civil War, baseball quickly spread across the nation. When Wichita was incorporated in 1870, the town and the game were ready for each other, and Wichita had its first professional nine the following decade. Baseball in Wichita tells the story of local baseball at all levels—amateur, collegiate and pro—in words and images dating from the 19th century to the present day.
