Late rally falls short for T-Bones

A late rally fell short for the T-Bones on Monday night, who lost 7-4 to Sioux City in an away game.

The T-Bones will try again to stop the nine-game losing streak when they play at Sioux City tonight at 7:05 p.m.

The T-Bones launched a rally in the sixth inning, scoring one run, then another late rally in the eighth, scoring three runs. But it wasn’t enough to overcome the 7-0 lead the Explorers took by the fifth inning.

Getting RBIs were the T-Bones’ Nate Tenbrink, with a sacrifice fly; Jake Blackwood, with a single; and Adam Bailey, with a triple.

The T-Bones starting pitcher, Fernando Hernandez, was the losing pitcher, allowing three runs, three hits and three walks in three innings.

The T-Bones return home to play their fun style of baseball against Amarillo at 7:05 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas City, Kan. For tickets, call 913-328-5618 or visit www.tbonesbaseball.com.

Suspects in chase taken into custody in Bonner Springs

Suspects were taken into custody after a chase in Kansas City, Kan., Shawnee and Bonner Springs this afternoon.

The armed robbery suspects went through the area at a high speed and then left their car in Bonner Springs, running on foot. Police canine units from Kansas City, Kan., and Shawnee were brought in, with the Shawnee canines finding the suspects after about an hour and a half, according to Bonner Springs Police Chief Mark Zaretski.

He said Kansas City, Kan., police were in pursuit of the suspects for a long time. The chase went to Holliday Drive, I-435 and into Bonner Springs, where it then went to K-7, he said.

The young adult suspects were taken into custody in Bonner Springs, in a heavily wooded area, Zaretski said.

Since the area where the vehicle was abandoned was close to Bonner Springs Elementary School, the school was placed on lockdown, and then evacuated, he said. There was an activity going on there today with three busloads of kids present.

Zaretski said all of the students were OK, as well as all of the suspects.

The Kansas Highway Patrol, Bonner Springs Police Department, Kansas City, Kan., Police Department and Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Department were involved in the case.

While suspects were being pursued on the southwest side of Wyandotte County in Bonner Springs, another unrelated case was happening in the northwest side of the county.

Wyandotte County Sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Kelli Bailiff said an arrest was made in an unrelated aggravated burglary case.

A suspect vehicle was located by sheriff’s officers at 127th and Leavenworth Road, and the Sheriff’s Department set up wide perimeters, in the woods near 117th and Parallel Parkway, a search was made, and one person was taken into custody, the spokesman said.
