Weather continues to wreak havoc with Kansas City Kansas Community College softball although this spring’s unseasonably cold has not prevented the Lady Blue Devils from putting up some impressive statistics.
Because of snow and freezing temperatures, KCKCC’s scheduled doubleheader with Cloud County Tuesday has been moved back to Thursday at 1 and 3 p.m.
The Blue Devils will go into Thursday’s games ranked No. 21 nationally in home runs with 19 and 43rd in the nation with 32 stolen bases.
Individually, freshman Kaylee Arnzen ranks ninth nationally in home runs with nine and 27th in batting with a .421 average and a .909 slugging percentage while Basehor-Linwood sophomore third baseman Kali Jacobson is 22nd in triples with four.
Nine doubleheaders remain on the KCKCC schedule. After the home twin bill with Cloud on Thursday, the Blue Devils are scheduled at Hesston Friday and Hutchinson Saturday. They’ll play a rescheduled doubleheader at Independence Monday, April 9, and then play host to Allen County April 10 and Neosho County April 17 in their final Jayhawk twin bills of the season.
Blue Devil sophomores will be honored during a home doubleheader with Ottawa Thursday, April 19, before KCKCC closes out regular season play at Sterling College Aug. 23. First round playoff action is scheduled for April 28-29.
