Barton splits with No. 13 Butler
April 02, 2009The Barton Community College softball team splits games with No. 13 Butler Wednesday afternoon at Cougar Fields. As the weather is showing signs of February, the Cougars are playing like a team hitting stride in May, winners of 3 of their past 4. Barton nearly pulled off the sweep of the Grizzlies but saw a 3-0 lead late in the opener disappear in a 4-3 loss in 8 innings. Barton won the 2nd game 12-9 and is now 3-3 in the Jayhawk West after sweeping Colby Monday. Barton is 8-12 overall. Butler is now 19-6 overall and 3-1 in the West – which is also the Region VI this year with only the 5 NJCAA division teams – Barton, Butler, Seward, Garden, and Colby – a part of the West. Barton will tackle another of the top teams in the region when Seward comes to Cougar Fields Friday in a makeup doubleheader starting at 3 pm. Seward is 3-1 in the West and 22-11 overall. -
