The Barton Community College softball team closed out its home slate Sunday, sending its sophomores out with a pair of victories over the junior varsity squad of Bethany College 6-5 and 11-1 in five innings.
Barton improves to 15-23 overall, getting back to conference action on Thursday with a 2:00 p.m. first pitch at Pratt Community College. The Cougars will then complete the regular season on Saturday with a trip to Independence Community College.
The Cougars honored its departing sophomores for the final time on the home turf in-between the pair of games.
Each of the six sophomores contributed to the Cougars' victories. Makayla Chavez connected on three doubles in her five hits, Mackenzie Fagan producing a big hit in game one's bottom of the 7th, Ashlee Lucero striking out a season high twelve batters for the opening victory, Kaylee Milligan's clutch game one tying solo home run, Brooke McCollough driving in three runs including her 5th home run of the season, and Bailie Stanley despite long at-bats in making a lot of contact but coming up empty playing solid defensively at third base.
