EL DORADO – After dropping the first game of their doubleheader in El Dorado 4-1 for their first losing streak of the summer, the Hays Larks bounced back with a 2-1 win in game two and a split with the Broncos.

El Dorado (16-10, 13-10 JL) scored all four of their runs in the sixth inning in game one. D.J. Carr (4-2) pitched his second complete game but suffered the loss with five strikeouts and two walks.

The Larks (21-5, 17-5 JL), who hadn’t played since Thursday, scored two in the first inning of the second game on a Mike Mioduszewski single and Jacob Boston sacrifice fly. The Broncos scored their lone run in sixth after two walks and a single off of starter Alex Lopez. Chad Smith came in and got the final out then worked a one-two-three seventh for his seventh save. Lopez (5-0) struck out three and walked three and scattered four hits for the win.

The Larks, who are 1-1 in the second half of Jayhawk League play, take on Derby tonight at Panther Field in Derby. They are then off until Friday when they host Haysville.
