The Barton Community College softball team got a pair of strong pitching performances and big hits when they needed it to sweep Independence Community College 8-2 and 4-0 Thursday afternoon at Cougar Field.
The second straight home doubleheader sweep improves the Cougars to 5-9 in conference play and 9-19 on the season while Independence slides to 3-7 in league and 13-13 overall.
Barton's next opportunity to extend their four game win streak comes Saturday in hosting Northwest Kansas Technical College in a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader at Cougar Field.
