Corky Welch hit a three-run homer and Nick Goza pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to lead the Hays Larks to an 8-4 win in Derby to even up their three-game Jayhawk League series at a win apiece. The win also snaps the Larks two-game losing streak and moves them to 13-12 overall and 10-10 in the Jayhawk League.

Welch’s homer highlighted the Larks six-run third inning. Reggie Wilson had three hits with Evan Gruener adding two hits and two RBIs.

Goza picks up the win in relief of starter Aaron Fletcher who gave up four runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings.
