GOLDEN, Colo. – The Hays Larks couldn’t hold on to a couple of early leads and lost both ends of a doubleheader to the Colorado Sox Tuesday night at Jim Darden Field.

The Sox, who won the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Baseball League title, scored the go-ahead run on a third strike wild pitch with two outs in the sixth and won the first game 3-2. They scored seven runs in the second inning of the second game after the Larks (30-13) had scored three in the first and took the night cap 10-7.

Peyton Battenfield (4-3) gave up three runs on two hits in 2 1/3 innings of relief and took the loss in game two. Colin Simpson and Clayton Rasbeary both homered. Simpson tripled and drove in a run in the first game which saw Ryan Kotulek (0-2) take the loss in relief.

The two teams wrap up the series Wednesday night before both head to Championship Week at the NBC World Series.
