Prairie Village ? In a matchup between the top two ranked teams in the state, Free State High’s baseball team lost, 2-0, against Shawnee Mission East on Tuesday at SM East.

The second-ranked Firebirds were held to only two hits and struck out 13 times against SM East senior left-hander Joey Wentz, a projected top-round pick in this summer’s Major League Baseball draft. Both of those hits — the only hits Wentz has allowed in 30 innings pitched this season — were in the fourth inning when FSHS senior Mikey Corbett laid down a bunt single and junior Zion Bowlin lined a single to center field.

SM East (11-1, ranked No. 9 in the nation by USA Today) scored both of its runs in the bottom of the first inning when junior Luke Anderson hit a leadoff home run and senior Henry Churchill hit an RBI single. Free State senior lefty Trevor Munsch only gave up four hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings.

Free State (11-3) will play host to Shawnee Mission North at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
