GODDARD, Kan.—Both Hutchinson High School Softball and Baseball games vs Goddard Eisenhower were suspended by mother nature Tuesday with make-up dates to be decided in the future. The Salthawk girls trail Eisenhower in the 4th inning 3-0 while the Salthawk baseball team is down 8-1 in the bottom of the 4th when lightning halted both games.
The Salthawk girls let Eisenhower off the hook when they stranded runners at second and third with nobody out in the 2nd being down 2 runs at that time. The Salthawk boys took an early lead with a Mason Seitz single up the middle to score Maliki Miller who was courtesy running for Lakin Franz who walked in the top of the 2nd.
In the bottom of the 2nd, Eisenhower got a solo home run from Will Rogers to straight away center field that the 30 plus mph wind aided to tie the game at 1-1. After 2 Hutchinson defensive gems for outs by Jax Heneha and Caiden Beavers, a booted ground ball allowed Eisenhower to load the bases for Carson Adams who tripled to left to score 3 runs. Eisenhower took a 5-1 lead and added 3 more runs in the 4th to lead 8-1 when the game was halted by lightning.
