HAYS – The Hays Larks seven-game win streak came to an end Sunday night, losing 12-4 to the Boulder Collegians at Larks Park. Boulder, which was shut out Saturday night, scored two runs in the first inning then broke a 2-2 tie with a run in the fourth, two in the fifth, another in the sixth than four in the seventh.

Dodge City Community College product Carlos Vizcaya gave up three runs on three hits over three innings in his debut and took the loss. Trey Riggs pitched two innings of relief as did Larks position players Brook Brannon and Alex Strachen.

The Larks are now 28-8 heading into the final two games of the regular season, both against Dodge City starting Monday night at Cavalier Field in Dodge City.

Hays holds a one-game lead over Liberal atop the KCLB Jayhawk West Division. If they win both vs. Dodge City they will be division champs and earn a spot in the KCLB Championship Series as well as Championship Week of the NBC World Series. A loss in either game and the Larks will need some help from the A’s when they play their final two games against Liberal later in the week.
