THS to play Ward today in baseball
The Tonganoxie baseball team will play its final game of the regular season today when the Chieftains play three-time defending state champion Bishop Ward at 5 p.m. at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds.
The two teams squared off last week in Kansas City, Kan., a game the Cyclones won, 16-1.
High school teams usually play doubleheaders, but the series was split into two separate games so the teams wouldn’t have as long of a break before regionals. The playoffs begin Monday with both squads playing in a Class 4A regional at CommunityAmerica Ballpark near Kansas Speedway.
Tonganoxie enters today’s game with a 5-14 record.
