Hays has gone a perfect 10-0 against Liberal recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Indians will head out on the road to challenge the Redskins. Hays' pitching crew has only allowed 3.9 runs per game this season, so Liberal's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

On Saturday, Hays and Thomas More Prep-Marian finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw.

Meanwhile, it may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Liberal ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They skirted past Dodge City 9-8. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Redskins have posted since April 22nd.

Alexander Schwindt made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Schwindt was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two RBI.

In other batting news, Kye Morris was a standout: he went 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Landon Martinez was another key player, going 4-for-6 with one run and one RBI.

Hays' draw gives them a new season record of 12-8-1. As for Liberal, their record is now 8-13.

Hays was able to grind out a solid win over Liberal when the teams last played two weeks ago, winning 10-5. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Indians since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
