Two batters later Trey Riggs cleared the bases with a double to put Hays up 7-0 and then Colby Dreiling drove in a run on a fielder’s choice to put Hays up 8-0.

Brock Lumus then capped off the inning with a two-run homerun giving Hays the 12-1 lead.

Enid did get a run back in the fourth but Hays was able to earn the 12-2 run-rule win in four innings.

Tate Garcia allowed one run on two hits in three innings of work and earned the victory.

Riggs drove in four runs and Sennett and Lumus each had two RBI’s.

The Eagles were scoreless in the second inning of their game with the Topeka Scrappers when severe weather moved in forcing the remainder of the tournament to be cancelled.
