Larks Avoid Sweep in Derby with Blowout Win

Justin Ziegler allowed two runs on six hits over six innings Sunday night, helping the Hays Larks avoid a sweep in Derby with a 14-2 win. Ziegler improves to 3-1 on the season.

Austin Darby and Zair Koeiman both homered in the Hays Larks five-run fifth inning as they salvage the final game of their three-game series in Derby with a 14-2 rout Sunday night.

Darby led off the fifth with a solo homer. Koeiman later followed with a three-run shot and would finish with three hits and four RBI’s. Shortstop Elvin Rodriguez had a hit and drove in two in his return to the lineup. Rodriguez missed 15 games with a broken finger.

The Larks blew the game open with a seven-run seventh.

Justin Ziegler (3-1) allowed just the two runs on six hits over six innings for the win as the Larks improve to 14-6 and move to 8-6 in the Jayhawk League where they are tied for second, a half-game back of Liberal who lost 3-2 in El Dorado.

The Larks are off Monday before heading to Dodge City on Tuesday and Liberal Wednesday.
