After stealing one with late offense in Friday's series opener, the Barton Community College baseball team's bats went stagnant Saturday afternoon as Kansas City Kansas Community College held the Cougar offense to just one run over 15-innings sweeping the doubleheader with a sixth-inning 10-0 run rule and 5-1 victory in the series finale.
As Barton was held to 11 combined hits in the twin bill, the Blue Devils pounded out 20 hits with nine going for extra base hits.
Dropping two of the three games on the weekend, the Cougars move to 5-3 on the young campaign while the Blue Devils improve to 7-4 overall.
Next up for Barton is Tuesday's 7-inning doubleheader with the junior varsity squad of McPherson College in a 1:00 p.m. first pitch from Lawson-Biggs Field before opening conference play on Thursday hosting the Saints of Seward County Community College.
Cesar Gomez was the lone Cougar to collect a hit in each contest finishing 3-for-7 on the day.
John Connors leadoff double in the sixth of game two provided Barton's lone extra base hit after going 0-for-2 in the opener.
Stranding 11 runners on base over the first 11-innings, the Cougars ultimately broke through on the scoreboard with the lone run coming on Hayden Oviatt's groundout in the sixth of game two scoring Anthony Mendez 1-out single.
Barton used eight pitchers on the day, Ethan Minaker taking the opening loss with Owen Pote suffering the nightcap defeat both falling to 0-1 overall.
