Contributions up and down the lineup and in the circle helped the Barton Community College softball team to a doubleheader sweep over the junior varsity squad of Bethany College Tuesday afternoon at Cougar Field.
Sailing through the first game until the fifth inning, the Cougars' first two at-bats in the home half sealed the game as a walk-off two-run home run clinched the 13-5 run-rule victory. In game two featuring a lineup shuffle including a host of players getting quality playing time, Barton held control throughout for an 8-3 win to seal the sweep.
Concluding the pre-conference slate at 5-6 on the season, Barton begins conference play Saturday in a 1:00 p.m. twinbill at Garden City Community College. The Cougars will then host their first conference games of the season on Wednesday, March 1, against Seward County Community College.
