The Region VI Plains District Tournament may not have ended the way the Cloud County Community College Thunderbirds may have wanted but it was one heckuva ride.
After dropping their opening game, the Thunderbirds reeled off four straight wins before eventually falling to Johnson County Community College to be eliminated.
And it was a Canadian who led the way with his bat.
Noah Konings (Brampton, Ont.) produced 14 hits, two walks, nine RBIs and was hit by two pitches in the six games.
Now, let’s break each one down individually because, well, his performance was worthy of it.
Konings began the tournament by going 3-for-5 with two RBIs in an 8-5 loss to Kansas City Kansas Community College.
The T-Birds then began their win streak with a win over Fort Scott Community College, a game in which Konings went 3-for-3 with a walk and was a hit by pitch.
Game 3, a 13-0 win over Coffeyville Community College, saw him go 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and two RBIs.
The former Junior National Team member stroked a double and drove in a run during a rematch victory over KCKCC before putting together a three-hit game with a grand slam in a 12-9 win over Cowley College. He was also hit by a pitch.
In what would be the finale of their run, the 6-4 loss to Johnson County, he legged out a double.
For the second time this season, a CCCC Thunderbird takes home the top Canadian college honour as Matthew Evans (Tillsonburg, Ont.) did so back in Week 10.
Noah Konings is the Canadian Baseball Network College Player of the Week for May 12 to 18.
