The Larned Indians will head out on the road to take on the Hesston Swathers at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
Larned had to start their season on the road two weeks ago, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. Their tough 18-3 loss to Thomas More Prep-Marian might stick with them for a while.
Meanwhile, after only two runs in their last game, Hesston made sure to put some runs up on the board against Cheney on Tuesday. Everything went Hesston's way against Cheney as Hesston made off with a 16-6 victory. With that win, Hesston brought their scoring average up to 8 runs per game.
Whit Rhodes made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Rhodes was even better at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and a triple.
In other batting news, Keagan Shelite was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. Blayne Wilson was another key contributor, scoring three runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.
Larned came up short against Hesston when the teams last played back in April of 2023, falling 6-1. Thankfully for Larned, Kael Shelite (who didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 14 over six innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
