Sparks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOffensively, when you get that many hits, we should be able to get more runs than we did,\u201d said Larks Head Coach Frank Leo. \u201cWe hit some clutch hits early in the game but we sped it up a little bit in the bottom of the ninth when we should slow it down and get more patient at the plate. We got work in, and that\u2019s important. We\u2019ve got nobody hurt tonight, and that\u2019s really important after losing Ray Jesse the other night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keevyn Goss pitched the majority of the game, earning seven strikeouts while allowing two hits and one run before retiring in the fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe knew pitching-wise, we were in a bind,\u201d Leo said. \u201cKeevyn gave us some length, and he gave us four innings, and after that, it was going to be position guys, who I thought did well. We had to rotate defenses, and every time we did that, [Jackson] Babcock had a nice outing, and so did Sparky (Sparks).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kreutzer hit a solo home run into left field at the bottom of the sixth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was cool,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a hometown kid, you always dream about playing for the Larks, and for that to be my first hit was a surreal moment. It was awesome, but I need to put in some work and get better since this was my first game in a month and I\u2019m a bit rusty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kreutzer noted how the Cannons\u2019 performance made it difficult for the Larks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were scrappy,\u201d he said. \u201cTraditionally, they\u2019re a good club, and they showed that tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the game did not result in a loss for the Larks, the tie does not alleviate their pain of defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou always want wins,\u201d Leo said. \u201cTying\u2019s no fun, but where we are at this point, guys not ready to throw yet and still coming in, I\u2019m pleased with what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Larks&#8217; next home game will be against the Denver Cougars at 7 p.m. on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By RORY MOORE Tiger Media Network The Hays Larks tied with the Kansas Cannons 5-5 via non-league rules in their second home game of the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":87277,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4540,7349],"tags":[14180,11177,14647,14641,15700],"class_list":["post-87306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baseball-sports","category-sports","tag-frank-leo","tag-hays-larks","tag-hays-larks-baseball","tag-larks-baseball","tag-rory-moore"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LarksBaseball-2-of-13-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1073","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87306"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87308,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87306\/revisions\/87308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/87277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
