HAYS, Kan. - The Fort Hays State baseball team dropped Sunday's series finale against Central Oklahoma, 12-0, at Larks Park. Broncho starter Lawson Isaacs tossed a seven-inning perfect game, retiring all 21 batters he faced.

The Tigers put the ball in play 16 times, including 11 flyouts and five ground outs.

Fort Hays State turned a pair of double plays in the contest, including an around-the-horn double dip to end the first inning and a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play to end the fifth.

Half of Central Oklahoma's 12 runs were unearned after a pair of Tiger errors. UCO finished the game with 12 hits.

Jake Campbell (0-5) took the loss after allowing seven runs (three earned) on nine hits over 4.0 innings of work. The starter struck out one and did not walk a batter. Cade Flaherty added two strikeouts in 2.0 innings of relief while giving up three runs on two hits and three walks. Cole Zimmerman tossed the final inning out of the bullpen, allowing two unearned runs on one hit and two walks.

The Tigers are scheduled to return to action Tuesday for a midweek doubleheader against Colorado Christian. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
