Two Out Toughness Buoys BJ’s

Liberal scored all nine runs with two outs in a 9-5 win over the El Dorado Broncos in El Dorado Saturday night. The win moves the Bee Jays back into first in the Jayhawk North and a split in the four game series.

Brent Williams got the party started with a triple off the center field wall before Chase Chambers homered over the scoreboard in right for his first of the year. Gavin Wehby added a two run shot to right for his second homer of the series and season. El Dorado chipped away at BJ starter Kadon Simmons with one in the secon and one in the fourth. In the sixth, Bryson Allen laced a clutch three RBI double down the left field line to make it 7-2. Jaylen Hubbard’s two RBI single in the eighth made it 9-4. Simmons went six innings allowing two runs for the win. Grant Glaze pitched two innings and Lee Busto pitched a perfect ninth. Wehby and Williams were both 3-5.

Liberal is 13-6 overall and 9-5 in the Jayhawk and the Broncos are 10-4 and 7-4. Liberal hosts Hays Sunday night at 7 on 1270 and kscbnews.net. Little Caesar’s is the buyout sponsor.
