The Liberal Bee Jays took advantage of a walk and a hit batter to score four runs in the third and that was all they would need as they defeat the Hays Larks 4-3 Tuesday night at Brent Gould Field in Liberal.

The Larks had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning then rallied for two in the seventh on RBI singles from Chandler-Gilbert CC’s Elvin Rodriguez and Southeastern Louisiana’s Cody Gougler. Sean Wilson had two hits and scored two runs.

Pima CC’s Jose Gomez took the loss despite strking out seven and walking just one. He allowed all four runs in three hits over four innings.

The Larks drop to 6-3 and 3-2 in the Jayhawk League where they fall into a second-place tie with the Bee Jays, a half-game behind Derby who beat El Dorado 4-2 Tuesday night. The Larks and Bee Jays close out the two-game series tonight.
