Bee Jays Shut Out Heat

In an early July showdown for first, the Liberal Bee Jays took game one 7-0 over the Wellington Heat Friday night at Brent Gould Field.  Two Kansas Jayhawks figured prominently into the outcome as Owen Taylor blasted a two run homer and Blake Goldsberry pitched six shutout innings.

This was scoreless game until the fifth when the BJ’s scored four runs on three hits and a Wellington error.  Blake Brewster led off the inning with a double and scored on Jaron Robinson’s groundout.  Cale O’Donnell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Brady Cox walked with the bases loaded.  In the sixth Robinson tripled and scored on a wild pitch.  Taylor’s two run homer scored Brewster who had singled for the 7-0 lead. Brewster and Max Mumper had three hits a piece.

Blake Goldsberry (2-1) pitched six shutout innings for the win.  Lee Busto went one scoreless inning out of the bullpen and Reid Petty pitched two scoreless.
