T-Bones acquire rookie third baseman

The T-Bones have acquired the rights to infielder Blake May from Trinidad of the Pecos League in exchange for future considerations.

May is a 6-foot and 185-pound rookie third baseman from Largo, Fla.

This past season he batted .355 with 86 hits, including six home runs and 63 RBIs in 57 games for Trinidad.

Playing third base for the majority of the year (54 games), May had a .959 fielding percentage with six errors in 146 chances.

During his final two seasons at Anderson College in South Carolina, May was selected to the Rawlings-American Baseball Coaches Association NCAA Division II Gold Glove Team.

“May is a solid defender and his rookie status makes him in interesting prospect to look at next spring training,” said manager John Massarelli.

May, who will be 25 when the 2015 season starts, was selected for the Pecos League all-star game this past season.

Kansas City Kansas Community College took its new No. 5 national ranking on the road over the weekend and came away with a sweep of some of the best Florida has to offer.

Competing in the Pasco Hernando Tournament in New Port Richey, Fla., the Lady Blue Devils lost only one set in sweeping past Louisburg 3-0, Florida College 3-1, Palm Beach College 3-0 and Florida State College at Jacksonville 3-0.

The sweep extended KCKCC’s winning streak to five in a row and boosted the Blue Devils’ overall record to 14-2, the best in the Jayhawk Conference alongside Fort Scott.

The Blue Devils stay on the road, playing at Jayhawk rival Allen County Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and Missouri State at West Plains next Monday before returning home Wednesday, Sept. 24, to play host to a big showdown with archrival Johnson County (8-3), which is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation.
