BAT CATS 4, ROSE HILL WILDCATS 0 (G2) — Bat Cats pitcher Jacob Field threw a brilliant 83-pitch, 5-hit shutout to earn a split of Tuesday's Jayhawk Collegiate League baseball doubleheader. Field stranded a pair of base runners in scoring position.
Great Bend executed "small ball," when a Tyler Clementz second-inning bunt was misplayed and Andrugh Yee and Luke Nohinek scored. Carson Umphreys singled, moved to third base on Peanut Brazzle's single and scored on a fifth-inning error. Clementz scored on an Elias Leon seventh-inning groundout.
The Bat Cats (14-8, 13-6 Jayhawk) have completed three shutouts this summer. Great Bend plays Derby (14-7, 13-7 Jayhawk) Thursday at home and travel to Derby Saturday.
