Hays Evens Series with Bee Jays

The Hays Larks evened their four game series with the Liberal Bee Jays Tuesday night at Brent Gould Field.  The Larks won 7-1.

Liberal native Cole Evans pitched five innings allowing two runs.  Hays scored one in the first.  Liberal countered with a run in the bottom of the second.  Aiden Sherpardson blooped a single to left center to score Cayde Ward to tie the game 1-1 . Hays scored a run in the fourth to take the lead with back to back two out doubles.  The Larks added one in the sixth, two in the seventh, and two in the eighth.  The game was called after eight due to an approaching thunderstorm.  Hays out hit the Bee Jays 11-5 and Liberal had three errors and Hays was flawless on defense.

Liberal falls to 10-5 and 9-5 in the KCLB with a 1-1 Jayhawk West record.  Hays is 14-2 overall, 13-1 in the KCLB, and 5-1 in the Jayhawk West.  The same two teams meet tonight at 7 at Brent Gould Field.  Maddon Oil is the buyout sponsor.  The game airs on 1270 and kscbnews.net with the Dugout Show at 6:45.
