Hays Larks: Season opener this weekend is a go

Posted Jun 20, 2020 2:16 PM

In a news release Friday, the Hays Larks announced its season opener will be at 6 p.m. Saturday with a doubleheader against the Colorado Pirates.

The game — and the serious — were in doubt after a Larks player tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.

"In consultation with the Ellis County Health Department, Larks Board of Directors and following all applicable KDHE guidelines, the Larks’ season will continue," the organization said in a news release. "Larks staff, coaches and players are taking measures to maintain a safe and healthy environment and encourage all fans to do the same.

"Please maintain social distancing and basic hygiene practices while in the park," the organization said in a news release. "Please do not attend games if you are ill or feeling ill.  We look forward to a great season and appreciate the outpouring of support from our community and fans."
