Cincinnati swept the two-game set. Hammel gave up seven hits, walked none and struck out three. But the Royals' offense has man...

Wichi...
KANSAS CITY -- You don't wind up 22-45 without some bizarre losses. The Royals' 5-1 defeat in 10 innings on Tuesday night at the hands of the Reds certainly qualifies.

But the inning started out with a single, an error and a botched sacrifice bunt by Billy Hamilton that got a ...

The weather conditions weren't exactly ideal for baseball over the weekend. The hot temperatures settled in. So did the Salina Falcons, who might be a tad bit hotter at the moment. Salina rolled to the championship and held off Emporia 5-3 to win the Sam Ellis Classic Championship in Emporia.
