NEWTON, Kan. – The Hutchinson Hawks Jr. American Legion baseball team bounced back after dropping a Sunday afternoon game to Junction City to beat Derby 12-2 Monday afternoon in Newton.

The Hutchinson Hawks stayed alive with a 12-2 win over the Derby Bandits in a game that ended in six innings on the 10-run rule in a Zone 4 elimination game.

Hutchinson scored in every inning but the fourth. Derby scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth, but couldn’t keep the game going.

Bennett Turner pitched four innings for the win, striking out five. Carter Booe finished the game, striking out two.

That win advances Hutch into the Zone 4 quarterfinals to take on El Dorado at 3 pm on Wednesday.  Check back with Hutchpost.com for more information as soon as it is received.
