Barton’s Mendez named KJCCC Pitcher of the Week.
Antonio Mendez of the Barton Community College baseball team has been named the Week 6 KJCCC West Division Pitcher of the Week.
Making just his second career start, Mendez tossed his third victory of the season in last Thursday's 11-1 game two win hosting Seward County. The freshman from Lansing, Kansas, worked seven innings, permitting just one run on four hits, and struck out a career high eight.
Through four appearances this season, Mendez holds a 3-0 record sporting a 1.29 ERA over 14 innings of work while giving up just two runs to go along with 16 strikeouts.
Mendez and the Cougars put their 4-0 conference start and 9-3 overall record to the test this week against 20th ranked Hutchinson Community College with the front end of the series taking place today in Hutchinson followed by a quick 1:00 p.m. Friday turnaround at Lawson-Biggs Field.
