Disastrous third inning dooms Cougars in loss to Pratt

Surrendering six runs in the third inning, the Barton Community College baseball team fell 10-0 in a game-shortened seven innings Wednesday to Pratt Community College at Jud Stanion Field. Trailing 1-0 into the third, the Cougars unraveled walking three batters, hitting three batters, and aiding the Beavers further with two fielding errors. Pratt’s Colton Lorance kept the Cougar hitters off-balance all night surrendering only a Jace Bowman sixth inning single up the middle. Despite the loss, the Cougars took 3-of-4 from the Beavers in the four-game series to run their conference mark to 5-3 and 8-8 overall while Pratt stands at 3-5 in conference and 5-8 overall. Barton will travel to Colby Community College for conference games on Saturday and Sunday. First pitch for each day’s doubleheader scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
