Posted May 07, 2021 2:06 AM

Hays softball hosted Colby on a beautiful Thursday at the Bickle Schmidt Sports Complex. 

Game 1

Hays High took advantage of seven Colby errors to take game one of the doubleheader 10-6. Hays scored in all but one inning. The only time the Indians didn't score was in the fifth when Colby turned a triple play.

Hays led 3-0 after two innings when Brenna Schwien clubbed the team's first home run of the year for a 4-0 advantage. It was the first career homer for Schwien and one of three extra base hits in the game for the junior.

Highlights

Colby made a charge in the fifth inning with a pair of home runs to pull with in five at 9-4. Hays added a run in the sixth inning for a 10-4 lead. Colby threatened in the seventh when four of their first five batter reached scoring two runs. Freshman pitcher Aubree Thomas brought the game to a close with back to back strike outs to close out the game. 

Game 2

Hays scored in every inning of game two in a run-rule 13-3 victory after five innings. Hays knocked out 15 hits with four players tallying multi-hit games. Lakyn Zimmerman, Morgen Berry, Brenna Schwien and Sydney Fagan each reached safely multiple times.

Highlights

Aubree Thomas allowed just four hits in the victory. Colby scored two runs in the third inning on three Hays High errors but was held quiet for most of the game. 

Coach Erin Wagner

Hays improves to 10-5 with the sweep. Colby falls to 11-7. The Indians head out on the road Friday, traveling to Liberal for makeup games.
