The Hays Larks raced out to a 6-0 after two innings and hold off El Dorado 7-3 in a game called after seven innings because of rain.

The Larks score two in the first on a MacKenzie Handel sac fly then added the second run when Joe Betcher stole home. They went up 6-0 with a four-run second.  Zair Koeiman hit a two-run homer and MacKenzie Handel added a two-run double.

A two-out error by shortstop Elvin Rodriguez followed by a walk then three-run homer helped the Broncos cut the lead in half in the fourth.

Hays added a run in the seventh on an Austin Darby leadoff home run. The game was then halted and eventually called because of rain and lightning.

Reliever Blake Johnston picks up the win, allowing no runs on one hit with three strikeouts over three innings.

The Larks improve to 16-8 and 10-8 in the Jayhawk League. They go for the series sweep Sunday night in the series finale at 7pm.
