Cougars drop season finale, miss regional playoffs

Cougars drop season finale, miss regional playoffs

Looking to end the regular season on positive note, the Barton Community College baseball team's rally in Sunday's series finale came up short in losing 11-7 to Hutchinson Community College at Lawson-Biggs Field.  The Cougars left eleven men stranded, including two in the ninth inning, to drop its third game of the four-game series to the Blue Dragons.  The loss leaves the Cougars at 10-22 in region play and 15-34 overall while Hutchinson improved to 14-18 in the region and 20-28 overall.   Barton wrapped up its regular season tied with Pratt Community College for the eighth and final seed for the Region VI playoffs, with the Beavers needing one win in its four-game series at Butler Community College to hurdle the Cougars in the standings.  Barton had playoff hopes yesterday as Butler won the first two games of the series but Pratt swept both games today to knock Barton from the playoffs and end the Cougars' season.
