The Hays High Indians swept Colby in a softball double header in Hays on Tuesday night.  The Indians moved to 10-0 on the season, while Colby dropped to 5-3.  The Eagles have had to endure three rain-outs already this season.  Though the teams used the same lineups in each game, the games themselves were wildly different.

Game 1: Hays 2, Colby 0
Hays High’s Katelyn Schumacher got the nod in game one allowing only one hit in seven innings of shut out ball.  Colby though had their chances stranding nine runners and had the bases loaded with one out in each the fourth and fifth innings.  The Eagles had the chances to score despite Schumacher striking out 14 in the game including seven of the first nine batters.  However Katelyn walked four and hit two batters.

The offense was provided by a towering solo home run in the third inning, that she hit into the teeth of the wind, and a RBI single of the nine hitter Haley Wells.

Schumacher moved to 4-0 on the season and 19-3 in her career at Hays High.

Hearld pitched five scoreless innings yielding just two hits.  Hannah is now 6-0 on the season.
