HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Monday night's Jayhawk Collegiate League matchup between the Hutchinson Monarchs and the Wichita Wildcats was postponed in the bottom of the first inning due to inclement weather, with the Monarchs holding a 3-1 lead.

The game was halted with runners on first and third and one out, following a fast start by the Monarchs’ offense after Wichita struck first in the top half of the inning.

The Wildcats took a 1-0 lead when Josh Donna singled and came around to score on a double to center field by Landon Haines. Monarchs starter Carson Harrell settled down to strike out Reed Haneberg and end the frame.

Hutchinson wasted no time responding in the bottom of the inning. Jeter Worthley drew a leadoff walk, and the Monarchs loaded the bases with a single by Joey Senstock and a walk to Drew Bugner. Jackson Legg followed with a two-run single to give the Monarchs a 2-1 lead. Keegan Demmer added a sacrifice fly to bring in a third run.

With Dylan Bell at the plate and a 2-0 count, the game was stopped and ultimately postponed due to heavy rain and lightning strikes in the area.

No makeup date has been announced. The Monarchs will be on the road Wednesday and Thursday night in Newton and Friday in Derby before returning home on Saturday and Sunday night.

🎥⚾ WATCH LIVE: WEATHER POSTPONMENT - Hutch Monarchs vs Wichita Wildcats

WICHITA, Kan. — Ethan Giesbrecht struck out 11 over six strong innings and the Hutchinson Monarchs jumped out to an early lead in route to a 7-4 victory over the Wichita Wildcats Saturday night in Rose Hill.

Giesbrecht, who scattered five hits and allowed three runs while walking two, notched the win for Hutchinson (12-3), setting the tone early by striking out the side in the first inning — despite giving up a solo home run to Jackson Ellison.

The Monarchs grabbed control in the top of the first, capitalizing on early command issues from Wildcats starter Jace Meyer. After a single and two hit batters loaded the bases, Tyler Vassart roped a two-run double to right, and Hutchinson tacked on two more in the second on back-to-back bases-loaded walks.

The Wildcats cut the lead to 4-2 on a solo homer from Josiah Sems in the second and drew closer on a Gunner Lewis homer in the sixth. But Hutchinson answered in the top of the seventh, when Vassart launched a solo home run to center — his third RBI of the night — to push the lead to 6-3.

The Monarchs added an insurance run in the ninth when Vassart scored on a misplayed pop fly by the Wildcats’ infield.

Wichita threatened in the bottom of the ninth, plating a run on an RBI single from Austin Selenke, but Russell Copous slammed the door with back-to-back strikeouts and a dropped third strike to end the game.

Copous earned the save, working the final frame after Daegan Vinduska tossed two solid innings in relief of Giesbrecht.

Meyer took the loss for the Wildcats, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks over just 1.2 innings.

Vassart led Hutchinson offensively, going 2-for-4 with a double, homer, walk, and three RBIs.

The Monarchs return home Monday night for their next contest versus the Wildcats at Hobart-Detter Field. First pitch is at 7pm and can be viewed on Hutchpost.com and monarchslive.tv.

⚾ Hutchinson Monarchs power past Wichita Wildcats behind Giesbrecht’s gem

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. — The Junction City Brigade rode a relentless offensive attack and a four-run first inning to a 14-10 victory over the Hutchinson Monarchs on Friday night at Rathert Stadium.

The Brigade struck early, posting six runs in the first two innings to take command. Kyler Horsman led the charge, driving in four runs, including a towering three-run homer to center in the fifth that gave Junction City a 12-10 lead.

“We came out swinging, and that early momentum really set the tone,” Horsman said. “Hutchinson pushed back hard, but we answered every time.”

The Monarchs (11-3) responded with a six-run fourth inning, capped by a bases-clearing double from Keegan Demmer and a two-run single by Omare Cross to jump ahead 9-6. They added another run in the fifth on a fielder’s choice to lead 10-8, but couldn’t hold the advantage.

In the bottom half of the fifth, Horsman launched a game-changing three-run homer that shifted the momentum back to the Brigade (insert record if known). Ian Luce added a solo shot in the seventh to pad the lead, and Sawyer Tolk’s RBI double in the eighth sealed the final score at 14-10.

Hutchinson’s biggest highlight came in the second inning when Blake Bradford crushed a three-run homer to center to bring the Monarchs within one. Bradford finished with three RBIs.

The teams combined for 24 runs and 26 hits in a slugfest marked by lead changes and defensive miscues, including a costly error by Monarchs outfielder Omare Cross in the second that allowed two runs to score.

Junction City will look to carry the momentum into their next matchup, while Hutchinson (11-3) aims to tighten its defense and regroup after a hard-fought loss. Hutchinson travels to Rose Hill Saturday night to take on the Wichita Wildcats.

⚾ Junction City Brigade out-slugs Hutchinson Monarchs in Friday night shootout

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Behind dominant relief pitching and just enough offense, the Hutchinson Monarchs edged the Junction City Brigade 2-1 in a tightly contested game Wednesday night at Hobart-Detter Field.

Lachlan Rosser started for the Monarchs but had trouble with control from the very start. He walked four, struck-out 2 giving up 1 run and 1 hit over the 1.1 innings pitched. He was able to work his way out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the first with nobody out. 

Cole Toureau was stellar in long relief for the Monarchs, entering in the second inning and tossing 5.2 brilliant frames. The right-hander gave up just one hit, walked three, and struck out eight to earn the win.

Aiden Sowers locked down the final six outs for the save, allowing only one hit and one walk while fanning two — including the final out of the game with the potential tying run on second base.

The Brigade struck first in the second inning when Ian Luce scored from third on a costly error by Monarchs third baseman Joey Senstock. That would be Junction City’s only run of the night.

Hutchinson answered in the fourth. Jake Knox singled and came around to score on a triple by Dylan Bell, tying the game at 1-1. The Monarchs took the lead for good in the sixth when Drew Bugner crossed the plate on an error by Brigade first baseman Brayden Harpole following a grounder by Blake Bradford.

Junction City starter Max Lialios was tough in the loss, allowing just four hits and two runs — only one earned — across eight innings. He struck out three and walked one.

The game was a brisk affair, lasting just 2 hours and 1 minute, as both pitching staffs were sharp throughout the night.

With the win, the Monarchs, now 11-2 continue to hold their ground in the league standings while showcasing the depth of their bullpen.

Hutchinson is off today, but will travel to Junction City on Friday before a road game in Wichita on Saturday versus the Wichita Wildcats College team. The next home game is Monday, June 23rd at Hobart-Detter versus the Wildcats again.

DERBY, Kan. — The Derby Twins staged a dramatic comeback Sunday night, scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with a 9-8 victory over the Hutchinson Monarchs in front of a spirited home crowd.

Trailing 8-6 entering the final frame, the Twins got a leadoff double from M. Hamond that brought in C. Scott to trim the lead to one. D. Craig moved to third on the play before C. Richards delivered the decisive blow — a two-run single to left field that scored Hamond and Craig to seal the win.

Hutchinson used four pitchers in relief after building a 7-3 lead by the seventh inning, but couldn’t hold off Derby’s late surge. Russell Copous was tagged with the loss, while Ryan Koob picked up the win for the Twins.

Derby jumped ahead early in the second, capitalizing on a two-run single by G. Cooley and an error in center field that helped plate two more runs. C. Richards added an RBI groundout for a 3-0 lead.

The Monarchs responded in the fourth with a pair of RBI singles from J. Knox and O. Cross to tie the game at 3-3. Knox struck again in the fifth, ripping a two-run double to center that gave Hutchinson a 5-3 advantage.

Hutch pushed the lead to 7-3 in the seventh on an RBI single by C. Grimes and a bases-loaded walk to T. Mitchell. But Derby chipped away, scoring once in the seventh on a catcher’s error and twice more in the eighth on a clutch double by J. Lindahl.

J. Knox gave the Monarchs an 8-6 cushion in the top of the ninth by scoring on a wild pitch, but the lead would not hold.

The loss drops Hutchinson to 9-2 in the tightly contested Sunflower Collegiate League race, while the Twins gain momentum with a gritty comeback performance at Panther Field, in a game that was postponed from the beginning of the season due to wet fields in Derby.

Hutchinson travels to Kingman tonight to face the Kingman Islanders with first pitch at 7pm.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Monarchs used a string of clutch hits and a strong start from Ethan Giesbrecht to defeat the Great Bend Bat Cats 9-5 Saturday night at Hobart-Detter Field in front of 570 fans — the eighth-largest crowd in Monarchs history.

On a picturesque evening for baseball, Hutchinson jumped out early and never trailed, fueled by a three-run third inning and a two-run homer by Jackson Legg in the fifth. The Monarchs improved their record to 9-1 with a balanced offensive effort and timely execution, particularly in the middle innings.

Giesbrecht earned the win for Hutchinson, tossing six innings and allowing just two runs on four hits. The right-hander struck out two and walked one.

Great Bend starter Carson Bougher was tagged with the loss after surrendering five runs on eight hits over 4.2 innings of work.

Legg led the Monarchs offensively, finishing with a home run, single, and three RBIs. In the third, Legg's RBI single scored J Herrmann, followed by a two-run double from AJ Mustow that pushed the lead to 3-0. Legg’s two-run blast in the fifth extended the lead to 5-2.

The Bat Cats trimmed the deficit to 6-3 in the seventh after an RBI single by Peanut Brazzle, but the Monarchs answered with a three-run eighth, capitalizing on a hit-by-pitch, a walk, a wild pitch, and a fielder’s choice.

Five different Monarchs were hit-by-pitches in the game. Two Bat Cats were also hit-by-pitches.

Elias Leon’s RBI single in the ninth brought Great Bend within four, but the Monarchs closed it out without further damage when Aiden Sowers came in to finish off the ninth and shut the Bat Cats down.

The game also served as Cancer Awareness Night, adding a special significance to one of the season's best atmospheres.

Hutchinson will return to action at Panther Field in Derby to take on the Twins in a make up game that postponed from earlier in June due to wet field conditions in Derby. Hutch will then travel to Kingman on Monday night. The next home game for the Monarchs will be Tuesday, June 17th versus the Islanders at 7pm.

⚾ Hutchinson Monarchs defeats Great Bend Bat Cats in pitcher's duel

HAYSVILLE, Kan. – In a wild finish that featured 15 runs scored between the two teams over the final two innings, the Hutchinson Monarchs held off a furious ninth-inning rally to outlast the Haysville Aviators 11-8 on Wednesday night at Plagens-Carpenter Stadium.

The win improves Hutchinson to 7-1 on the season.

The game was deadlocked at 2-2 through seven innings before the Monarchs’ bats exploded for nine runs in the eighth and ninth innings combined. Hutchinson plated three in the eighth and six more in the ninth to seemingly put the game out of reach, only to see Haysville score six of its own in the bottom of the ninth.

Braydn McClure earned the win in relief, tossing four innings while allowing just two runs on three hits. McClure struck out six but worked around five walks. Haysville's Caleb Ebert took the loss in relief.

The Monarchs appeared to slam the door shut in the top of the ninth, sending 10 batters to the plate. Big hits included a two-run double by Derek Bell and RBI singles from Jaxon Knox and Jalen Spafford. Hutchinson entered the bottom of the ninth with an 11-2 lead.

But Haysville refused to go away quietly.

The Aviators stormed back with six runs in the ninth, fueled by three doubles and a single, including a three-run double by Cayden Rabe and RBI knocks from Cameron Ortner and Gavin Jones. With two runners still on base and only one out, the Monarchs turned to closer Russell Copous.

Copous slammed the door with back-to-back strikeouts to preserve the win and squash Haysville’s comeback hopes.

The Monarchs took an early 1-0 lead in the fourth on a Braden Bradford RBI double. They added another in the sixth on a sacrifice fly from Jordan Legg. After Haysville tied the game in the bottom of the seventh on a steal of home, Hutchinson’s offense erupted.

Bradford led the Monarchs with two doubles and three RBIs. Knox added three hits and two runs driven in, while Senstock and Bell each had key run-scoring hits during the late-inning surge.

The Monarchs (7-1) return to action Friday night in Great Bend (6-2) with a 7 p.m. first pitch. Video and play-by-play will be available on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@greatbendbatcatsbaseballclub">Bat Cat's YouTube Channel.</a>

The Monarchs will be back at Hobart-Detter Field on Saturday for Cancer Awareness Night, benefiting the Cancer Council of Reno County. Great Bend will be Saturday’s opponent as well. Admission on Saturday night is free, but a good-will donation will be accepted with all proceeds going to support the Cancer Council.

HAYSVILLE, Kan. — The Hutchinson Monarchs saw their undefeated streak come to an end Tuesday night, falling 6-5 to the Haysville Aviators in a tightly contested matchup.

The Monarchs (6-1) outhit the Aviators 10-7 but were unable to overcome key moments that tilted the game in Haysville’s favor. The Aviators capitalized on a wild fifth inning and a critical home run to secure the win at home.

Haysville’s starting pitcher Cooper Senne earned the win, while Hutchinson’s starting pitcher, Cole Toureau took the loss.

The Monarchs struck first in the top of the fourth with back-to-back RBI singles from Jace Legg and Bryson Bradford to tie the game at 2-2. However, the Aviators responded with a four-run bottom half, highlighted by a two-run double from Owen Rush and a wild pitch that allowed Cale Ortner to score.

Hutchinson clawed back in the fifth inning with a two-run single by Legg, bringing the Monarchs within one. But in the bottom of the fifth, Quincy Groebl extended the Aviators’ lead to 6-4 with a solo home run to left field.

Bradford later scored on a wild pitch in the top of the eighth to make it a one-run game, and Kade Demmer followed with a double, but the Monarchs couldn't push across the tying run.

Hutchinson finished with 10 hits and no errors, while Haysville managed 7 hits and committed one error.

The Monarchs&nbsp;will look to bounce back tonight as they again match up with the Aviators in Haysville with the first pitch at 7 p.m. tonight. Hutchinson hopes to start a new winning streak, while the Aviators (6-2) gain momentum with a big win over one of the league's hottest teams.

As previously noted, Alex Mustow sparked the comeback with his second home run of the night, a two-run shot to center that trimmed Derby’s lead to 5-3. Moments later, Jaxon Herrmann and Jace Spafford delivered clutch RBI singles to tie the game and then push Hutchinson ahead.

After an RBI triple by Dane Bugner and Bradford’s two-run knock, the Monarchs led 8-5, erasing what had been a frustrating night against the Twins’ pitching.

Derby built a 5-1 lead behind timely hitting and three runs off wild pitches, including one that scored Kyle Sheldon in the eighth. The Twins also got an RBI triple from Jake Lindahl and run-scoring singles from Cooper Richards and Nick Allison.

Mustow opened the scoring with a solo homer in the second inning but was even bigger in the eighth, igniting the crowd and his teammates with his second long ball of the night.

Hutchinson goes on the road as the same two teams match up at Panther field in Derby Tuesday, night. Derby looks to regroup in the series finale. That game should be available to view on the Derby YouTube Channel.

The Monarchs will return home on Thursday to host the Kansas Canons at 7pm&nbsp; on ONEOK night at the ball park.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. —&nbsp;AJ Mustow drove in three runs and Tyson Vassart launched a two-run homer as the Hutchinson Monarchs rolled past the Newton Rebels 13-2 on Saturday night at Hobart-Detter Field.

The Monarchs (2-0) tallied 13 runs on 11 hits, taking control early and never letting up in their season opener.

Mustow led the offensive charge, going 2 for 3 with a triple and three RBIs. He opened his night with an RBI triple to center field in the first inning that gave Hutchinson a 2-1 lead. Later, he scored on a wild pitch in a five-run second inning.

Vassart capped that frame with a towering home run to right, plating two and extending the Monarchs’ lead to 5-1.

The scoring started when Bryce Bradford’s sacrifice fly allowed Jay Spafford to tag up and score, tying the game at 1 in the bottom of the first. From there, the Monarchs piled on with disciplined at-bats and timely hitting.

Newton (0-2) managed just two runs and couldn’t recover after falling behind early.

Monarch starting pitcher&nbsp;Carson Harrell (1-0) picked up the win for Hutchinson, pitching 2 1/3 innings while allowing two runs. He struck out three but walked four in the early-season outing. Brayden Rose (0-1) took the loss for Newton giving up 8 runs on 5 Monarch hits.
