HAYS, Kan. – The Hays Larks continued their hot hitting Sunday night, capping off a three-game sweep of Oklahoma 12-5. The Larks put together a seven-run fourth inning which was started with a double by Mike Anastasia. Scott Wolverton was hit by a pitch in the next at bat and Devin Hager placed a perfect bunt towards third base advancing the runners, but a fielding error by Oklahoma first baseman Evan Fulps scored Anastasia and Wolverton. Hager advanced to third where he was batted in by Ryne Randle on a single.

Indian pitcher Harrison Moy gave up a single in the next at bat to Wyatt Divis and a walk to Clayton Rasbeary which set up Easton Kirk with the bases loaded and no outs. Kirk launched the second pitch he saw over the right field wall for a grand slam to give Hays a 12-4 lead after four. Hays would only give up one run in the top of the seventh for the rest of the game.
