GODDARD - Hays High waited out a two-hour weather delay for their chance to open regional play at Goddard-Eisenhower High School Tuesday afternoon. Hays and Newton were both on the field and twenty minutes before first pitch when lightning threatened the area. When heavy rain subsided, and lightning cleared the area the teams returned to the field to warm up again. The turf field allowed the tournament to continue on the scheduled day.
Newton scored in just two innings. The Railers though tallied 21 runs in those two innings and ended the Indians season 21-0 after five innings.
Highlights
Hays tallied four errors in a nine run third inning and five more errors in a twelve run fifth inning. Newton had seven hits in each of those innings and totaled nineteen in the game total.
Hays threatened to score in the bottom of third with the bases loaded but could not push a run across.
Coach Erin Wagner
The Indians end their season at 12-9. Newton moves to the championship game of the Regional Tournament and improves to 11-10.
