Tied 3-3 entering the sixth inning at Lawson Biggs Field Tuesday night, the Barton Community College baseball team exploded for 10 runs over the final three frames earning a 13-3 eighth-inning run rule victory over the Larks of Hesston College.
Jordan Ellison produced three of his game high four RBIs with the first triple in the Cougar sixth with Connor Allen legging out the second triple four batters later plating a pair more capping the six run frenzy.
Winners of seven straight, Barton improves their season record to 23-9 while the Larks see their mini two game winning streak snapped dropping to 12-23 overall. Barton will return to conference play Thursday afternoon in hosting the first leg of the weekend four pack against the Blue Dragons of Hutchinson Community College. First pitch in Thursday's twin bill scheduled for 1:00 p.m. from Lawson-Biggs Field before the series swaps locations Saturday in heading to Hutchinson's Hobart-Detter Stadium.
