The Barton Community College baseball team got back to their winning ways Tuesday afternoon picking up a pair of run-rule victories over the junior varsity squad of Kansas Wesleyan University, 16-2 and 13-3 at Lawson-Biggs Field.

The Cougars scored in each of their four at-bats in the opener securing a 16-2 victory, before getting four shutout innings from Ethan Minaker in the nightcap while cruising to a five run first inning and doubleheader sweep.

Snapping its' three-game skid, Barton improves to 8-4 on the season while the losses drop the Coyotes JV squad to 4-2 overall.

In the midst of a seven game homestand, the Cougars will open a three-game weekend series against North Iowa Area Community College Friday with a 12:00 p.m. doubleheader before concluding the series with a 12:00 p.m. first pitch on Saturday.

Four Cougars drove in three or more runs in the twinbill led by Cesar Gomez four while Cooper Tabor, Grant Nottlemann, and Robby Bolin each added a trio of RBIs.
