....Patrick Cooper of the Hays Larks lead his team to victory in the 5:00 PM game yesterday as he pitched a complete game giving up only 1 run. Hays scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the second and added what proved to be the game winning run in the bottom of the 5th. Nevada pitcher Anthony Pryor was the tough luck loser as he pitched 5 innings giving up only 2 earned runs. The Griffons made it close by scoring a run in the 8th, but in the end the Larks pitchers were too much to overcome.

The Twins notched five runs to their belt in the first inning - leading to another run scored in the second inning.
