Fort Hays starter Kevin Large (0-1) gave up five runs in 11/3 innings.

Fort Hays closed within 9-5 in the fifth on a two-run double by Tyler Robbins and Alex Denning's run-scoring double. But the Rams scored five in the sixth to lead 14-5.

Dusty Washburn hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh and Greg Bieker and Schippers hit RBI singles in the eighth. Justin Groff hit an RBI double in the ninth.

Fort Hays (1-2) will play Kansas Wesleyan University Saturday at 1 p.m. at Larks Park in the Tigers' home opener.
