HAYS – It appeared the Hays Larks got their series with Liberal off to a good start Tuesday at Larks Park. The Larks scored nine runs over the sixth, seventh and eighth innings for what appeared to be an 11-4 win, but the game was played under protest by Liberal manager Carlos Lezcano over the number of mounds visits allowed per inning per pitcher. The protest was upheld by Jayhawk League commissioner Phil Stephenson and the game will resume at the point of protest with the Bee Jays leading 4-2 with one out in the sixth inning.
