Bring On The Cats, a Kansas State Wildcats community

Freshman second baseman Ross Kivett singled on a full-count pitch with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to give Kansas State an 11-10 walkoff win over Kansas in the series opener Friday night at Tointon Family Stadium. K-State improved to 32-21 and 10-14 in Big 12 play in its quest to claim a spot in next week's Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. The Wildcats need one victory in the final two games of the series to earn the tourney's final berth.

Nick Martini singled home Ross Kivett in the top of the ninth inning to break a 4-4 tie, James Allen picked up his 14th save of the season and the Wildcats edged Cal State Bakersfield 5-4 on Monday night at Hardt Field. K-State won its fifth straight game and its 10th in the last 14 contests as the Wildcats improved to 25-15 on the year. The Wildcats now are 8-9 in one-run games this season and have won four of their last five games decided by a run.
