Cougars carry momentum for shutout victory to split weekend series

The Cougars wasted no time capitalizing on the momentum from game one. Barton scored ten runs in the first four innings chasing Seward starter Keenan Hall from the game in just the third inning.

Barton got four runs in the first inning with two outs on back-to-back singles by Andino and Gile and consecutive walks by Turpin and Train. The final blow came from Tyler's triple to center scoring Gile, Turpin, and Train.

Barton again came through with two-outs in the second as Benson reached via being hit by pitch then stole second to set up Andino's RBI single up the middle.

The Cougars tacked on another run in the third getting two hits in the inning but earning the run coming from a Coombs walk.

Barton put the game away in the fourth scoring four runs on only two hits. Gile's RBI double to center scoring Benson and Coombs single to left center scoring Tyler accounted for two while Train's RBI double-play scored a third. The Cougars also scored an unearned run on a Saints wild pitch.

Andrew Ferguson gave the Cougars consecutive complete game performances in giving up only four hits and no walks while striking out three. Hall took the Seward loss after 2.1 innings giving up six runs on six hits while walking two and hitting two Barton hitters.
