LARNED — Larned baseball coach Chad Erway knew all too well that pitching to Great Bend’s Brady Michel with runners on base was a dangerous proposition.Sure enough, WAC Player of the Year Michel made Larned pay with a grand slam homer and two-double that sparked an opening 15-4 victory Thursday. Teammate Jared Maneth followed Michel’s example with four hits and six RBIs in a 19-3 victory in the nightcap.Great Bend (16-4) will be seeded at least third when the eight-team Class 5A regionals are paired Saturday. The top two seeds earn home regionals.
