WICHITA – The Hays Larks will face a familiar foe when they begin first week bracket play Tuesday afternoon at the NBC World Series. The Larks will play the Denver Cougars who scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Wellington Heat 5-4 in the late game Monday.

The Larks ended up winning their pool by tiebreaker after Great Bend rallied with a run in the ninth in a 7-5 loss to Waco. That run gave the second spot out of Pool D to the Bat Cats who play the Wichita Sluggers in Tuesday’s late game.

The Hutchinson Monarchs play Dodge City of the KCLB at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Derby and 316 Elite play in the feature game at 7 p.m.

The Larks won three of their four regular season meetings with the Cougars this summer, however only a handful of players from Denver’s team are still on the roster.

You can hear all of the Larks action from the NBC World Series on KAYS (94.3-FM, 1400-AM) as well as on the KAYS app an on-line.
