Raiders continue undefeated start
Abel hits third inside-the-park homer
Fort Scott ? Matthew Abel hit his third inside-the-park home run of the season, stole two bases and had two RBIs in the Lawrence Raiders’ 14-3 run-rule victory over Gardner on Thursday at the Fort Scott Invitational.
Hunter Scheib knocked in three runs.
Drew Hulse struck out eight and allowed six hits in improving to 3-0 for the Raiders (7-0), who will meet Colorado in a second-round game at 8 tonight.
“Anytime Drew is on the mound, you know what you’ll get. He’ll compete his tail off,” Raiders coach Shaun Edmondson said after the Raiders improved to 7-0. “We played extremely well. We ran the bases excellent. Our approach at the plate was excellent.”
