HAYS – Austen Jaslove provided the heroics Wednesday night as the Hays Larks closed out their regular season with a thrilling come-from behind 5-4 win over the Gameday Angels. Jaslove’s two-out single to left scored Jack Torosian with the winning run in a 5-4 victory over the Gameday Angels at Larks Park.
Torosian reached on a fielder’s choice then moved to third on Jackson Halter’s two-out single to right.
The Larks (34-8) took advantage of two hit batters, two walks and an error and scored four runs in the sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead after they had fallen behind 3-0.
Caden Hare (2-1) pitched three scoreless innings of relief and picked up the win.
Halter had three hits and Jaslove drove in two runs.
