The Derby Twins used a walk and two singles to score a run in the fourth inning and that would be all they would need for a 1-0 win over the Hays Larks in the opening game of their three-game series at Panther Field in Derby.

The Larks only real threat came in the third when Carter Hankins and Brett Anderson both singled to open the inning. A sacrifice bunt by Brooks Balisterri moved them to second and third with one out but Michael Burns grounded into a double play to end the inning.

The Larks would advance only one runner as far as second base the rest of the game.

Justin Vincent picked up the complete game shutout for the Twins, holding the Larks to six hits while striking out seven and walking two.

Cam Roegner (2-1) is the tough luck loser for the Larks, allowing just the one run on five hits over six innings. Roegner struck out four and walked two.

Jacob Campbell had three of the Larks six hits.

The Larks are now 12-12 overall and 9-10 in the Jayhawk League and are now four-games back of first-place Liberal in the North.
