The Hays Senior American Legion Eagles improved to 39-8 on the summer with a 12-0 win over the Colorado Select team Wednesday morning.

The Eagles offense got it going in the very first inning scoring five runs. Hays had a 1-0 lead after Clayton Basgall scored on a throwing error by the leftfielder and then with the bases loaded Jarrett Sanders cleared the bases with a grand slam to give Hays a 5-0 lead.

In the third inning Zack Legleiter hit a two-run homer, part of a three-run inning to give the Eagles an 8-0 lead. Hays added three more in the fifth and one in the sixth on their way to the 12-0 win.

Josh Heifner earned his ninth win of the summer with seven shutout innings. The Eagles play a doubleheader with Garden City on Friday.
