The Barton Community College softball team was outgunned Thursday in a doubleheader loss at Garden City Community College.
Garden City pounded out seventeen hits in putting away the opener with a ten run fourth inning for a 17-4 victory. The Cougars fought back from a deficit in a wild game two with three runs in the seventh but fell in the bottom of the ninth frame 11-10 on a two-out walk-off hit.
The losses drop Barton to 10-8 and 16-14 overall while Garden City's sweep splits the season series between the teams improving to 7-9 in league and 13-19 on the year.
Barton's next home game is Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. hosting of Seward County Community College before heading back to the road next Wednesday in a 3:00 p.m. first pitch at Pratt Community College.
Having just seven hits when the teams met a month ago, Garden City pounded out thirty-four hits while the Cougars had twenty, nine shy of its previous total in sweeping the Broncbusters in run-rule fashion, and added nine miscues aiding the cause.
