LIBERAL – The Liberal Bee Jays used a pair of big innings to upend the Hays Larks 10-3 Wednesday night in Liberal in game three of their four-game set.

In their half of the second the Bee Jays plated five runs on six hits off Larks starter Mason Myhre.

In all Myhre allowed six runs, five earned on eight hits in three innings and suffered the loss.

Down 5-0 through two innings the Larks scored a single run in the top of the third when Jarrod Belbin walked, went to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a passed ball and then scored on a wild pitch to make it 5-1.

Liberal got the run back in the fourth and added four more in the seventh to take a 10-1 lead.

In the Larks half of the ninth Wyatt Divis walked and scored on an error and Belbin drove in a run on a RBI groundout to cut the Liberal lead to 10-3. But two batters later a ground out ended the Larks threat giving Liberal the 10-3 win.

The Larks drop to 14-3 and 5-2 in the Kansas Collegiate League. The two teams will wrap up the series Thursday in Liberal.
