Coming off of a 7-2 win against Buhler, the 9-11 Eagles are now preparing for their Regional tournament. Kingman, a 2-seed, will play seventh seeded Haven on Monday, May 17th. Kingman beat the Wildcats 8-6 early in the season.
The champion of the Kingman-hosted tournament, the winner of three games, earns a spot in the State tournament in Salina.
Kingman Head Coach Toby Munz likes the way his team is playing late in the season.
“We feel really good how the bracket lined up in our favor,” said Munz. “We also like that our pitching is coming around at the right time, and we are getting timely hits throughout the entire lineup.”
“If we play defense for three games there is nobody in this tournament that we can't beat.”
If Kingman wins on Monday, the Eagles will advance to play the winner of the contest between 8-11 Maize South and 2-18 Lyons.
Smoky Valley, the team with the best overall record in the tournament, must beat Buhler and either Nickerson or Valley Center to advance to the championship game.
“Truthfully, this tournament is wide open to anybody,” Munz said. “Top to bottom we have as much or more talent than anyone in the tournament. But, talent alone won't hold that trophy up on Tuesday. It will be the team that makes the fewest mistakes.”
Monday’s game is scheduled to start at 6:45PM. All tournament games will be played at Arensdorf Memorial Stadium in Riverside Park.
