Alex Ellison allowed just one hit over seven innings, helping the Hays Larks to the three-game sweep of the Colorado Sox with a 5-0 Thursday night at Larks Park. The senior to be at Fort Hays State allowed just a two-out single in the fourth inning, striking out seven while walking just one for his second win of the season.

The Larks scored a run in the second on an Austin Jarvis RBI single. Austin Darby hit his third home run in four at-bats with a two-run shot in the third. Hays added two more in the seventh on a wild pitch and Ryan Busboom single.

The Larks go 6-3 on their longest homestand of the summer and improve to 13-4. They’re on the road for the next five and 10 of their next 13 starting Friday with the first of three in Derby.
