Bee Jays Break Through in Hays

The Liberal Bee Jays received excellent starting pitching this time around. Seward’s Tyler Wiedenfeld, who committed to Stephen F. Austin this weekend, pitched six innings of one hit ball in a 6-2 BJ victory at Larks Park in Hays Wednesday night.

The Larks didn’t have a hit until the sixth and proved to be mortal with two errors leading to five unearned runs. The Bee Jays scored five in the sixth to break through to a 5-0 lead. With two outs Nicholls State’s Seth Stevens lined a single off the second baseman’s glove to score Texas State’s Lewis Guilbeau who had reached on an error. South Dakota State’s Sam Pack drove home two with a single to make it 3-0. Wichita State’s Tanner Kirk singled home a run and Guilbeau walked with the axes loaded.

Liberal added a seventh inning run when Kirk singled again. Kirk was 3-3 at the plate.

Liberal is 9-7 and 5-7 in the Jayhawk League while Hays is 14-2 and 10-2 in the Jayhawk.

the Bee Jays host Wellington for a three game series Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights at 7 on 1270 and kscbnews.net.
