Cougars rally for four in the seventh, sweep doubleheader over Pratt

Offense in the first game followed by solid pitching in the second game, the Barton Community College baseball team opened the 2013 Jayhawk Conference season Thursday with a doubleheader sweep of Pratt Community College. Due to a location change because of wet field conditions in Pratt, the two games were played at Barton’s Lawson-Biggs Field with Barton playing the visitor role for the doubleheader. The Cougars rallied for four runs in the top of the seventh to win game one 13-12 then got eight innings of solid pitching from Skylar Hill to win game two 10-7. Barton improves to 5-5 on the season and 2-0 in conference play while Pratt drops to 2-5 on the season and 0-2 in conference. The Cougars will return to the diamond on Friday in hosting Seward County Community College. The 9-10 Saints opened conference play earlier this week winning 3-of-4 against Butler Community College. Game time for Friday’s doubleheader is 4:00 p.m. at Lawson-Biggs Field with the same two teams playing again on Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader.
