The Saints added another badge to their 2009 season with a Regional Championship win over Gardner-Edgerton on Tuesday 10-1.  Saint Thomas Aquinas will head to Hummer Sports Park in Topeka next Friday for their shot a back-to-back State Championships.

Even with a State Championship to their credit, the players aren't taking anything for granted.  They began the season with a theme; "Never let your past success overshadow the hard work yet to be done"  The Saints know all to well that they can lose if they are not focused, but they have also learned that the can beat anyone they face if they put it all together.

5A State is turning out to be a very tight grouping of talented teams this year.  Lansing takes the top seed with just one loss for the season.  The next four spots came down to a coin flip, since Aquinas, Bishop Carroll, Andale/Garden Plain and Andover-Central are all going into the post-season 20-2.  Dispite being the defending State Champions, Aquinas didn't fair well in the coin toss event, drawing the number 5 seed and being paired with Andover-Central in the first round.

Saint Thomas Aquinas softball traveled to WYCO park to take on the Piper Lady Pirates on Wednesday.  The Saints swept the double header, winning 4-2 and 13-0 (5 innings).  The Saints did not allow an earned run in either game.

Junior pitcher Kellie White struck out 13 and walked 1 in her 7 innings of work in the first game.  Senior Janessa Swinney and White went 2 for 3 at the plate.  Sophomore Jenna Boutte was 1 for 2.
