Larks Win 10th Straight, Clinch Jayhawk League Title

The Hays Larks extended their longest win streak since 2003 and in the process wrap up the Jayhawk League title. Hays won their 10th-straight Saturday night, 5-1 over Derby to move to 28-10 overall and 22-10 in the Jayhawk League.

The Larks took the lead with two in the fourth on a Ryan Busboom two–run homer.

The Twins loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth but managed just one run on a bases loaded walk and left them loaded. Brett Macari recorded a strikeout then a ground ball to get the Larks out of the jam.

The Larks came back in the bottom of the inning with two runs, one on a throwing error and the other on an Aaron Cornell double. They would add their final run on a Tito Andino leadoff homer in the eighth.

Blake Johnston (4-0) picks up the win, allowing one unearned run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings. Brett Macari went 2 2/3 scoreless innings and Colton Reavis worked a 1-2-3 ninth.

MacKenzie Handel, Joe Betcher and Austin Darby all had two hits.

The Larks wrap up the series at home Sunday night at 7pm. Admission is free courtesy of Wal-Mart and Cedar Lodge Dental Group. You can also hear the game on 14-KAYS beginning at 6:45pm.
