GREAT BEND, Kan.—The Hutchinson Monarchs gave up two runs in both the bottom of the eight and ninth inning which allowed the Great Bend Bat Cats to win their 4th game of the year 8-7 at Al Burns Memorial Field in Great Bend Thursday night.
Great Bend's first baseman Armani Raygoza was the hero as his only hit of the game came with runners at second and third as he lined a base hit into centerfield scoring both Robby Bolin and Matt Mendez to win the game in walk-off fashion.
Hutchinson did manage 9 hits in the ball game, but 3 errors including an error in the ninth inning costs the Monarchs in the loss.
Hutchinson (0-1) and Great Bend (4-0) play again in Great Bend tonight before wrapping up the series at Hobart-Detter Field in Hutchinson on Saturday night.
