Larks rally past Dodge City to win Jayhawk League Championship Series

HAYS – Jacob Boston had four hits, Mike Mioduszewski added three and both drove in two runs to lead the Hays Larks to a 6-3 comeback victory over Dodge City Saturday night at Larks Park. The Larks (37-10), who won both halves of the Jayhawk League regular season, clinched the Jayhawk League Championship Series two games to none to give them their ninth Jayhawk League title and third in five years.

After the Athletics (28-20) scored a run in the first and two in the third to grab a 3-0 lead, Boston hit a two-run single in the sixth to close the gap to one. Mioduszewski’s two-run single an inning later gave the Larks the lead for good. Mioduszewski scored on a bases-loaded walk then Jeff Deimling added an RBI single to cap the four-run inning.

Sam Reed (2-1) pitched a perfect seventh to get the win. Daulton Lieker worked a scoreless eighth and ninth for his first save.

Starting pitcher Shane Browning allowed three runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts and two walks over six innings.

Both the Larks and A’s now advance to the Championship Week of the NBC World Series and will begin pool play sometime next weekend. The Larks will have one final home game when they host the Fairbanks Goldpanners Wednesday at 7 pm.
