For the second consecutive day, the Barton Community College baseball team completed a doubleheader sweep over Western Nebraska Community College Monday afternoon at Jimmy Lawson-Danny Biggs Field.
Held to just one hit in the opener, the Cougars benefitted behind five walks and two hit batsmen to earn a 4-1 series clinching victory. Going for the sweep in the nightcap, Barton rallied from an early 1-0 deficit, scoring three unanswered while gaining the separation needed producing a three-run sixth and two-run seventh for an 8-5 game two win in sweeping the series for the eighth straight time over WNCC.
Notching their 28th straight win in the series, the Cougars move their early season record to 6-1 while Western Nebraska heads home for their home opener falling to 1-7 overall.
