Lady Cougars hold on for 5-4 win to wrap up play in BUCO Bash

The Barton Community College softball team wrapped up its weekend play at the BUCO Bash in El Dorado, Kansas, with a 6-5 victory Sunday over Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa.  The Lady Cougars scored three in the third and added another in the fifth but had to survive a three-run sixth inning NOC rally to hold on for the win.   Finishing the four-game weekend at 2-2, Barton moves to 21-12 on the season.  The Lady Cougars will stay on the road and head south to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, playing a 2:00 p.m. doubleheader against the junior varsity squad from Oklahoma Wesleyan University.  

Going a perfect 4-for-4 from the plate, Erica Harper led an 11-8 hitting advantage by the Lady Cougars.  The top of the lineup consisting of Bailey Hensley and Briana Ward each collected two hits, as did Braydee Bakovich in the lower lineup.   Ward delivered her seventh homerun of the season with a two-run leftfield shot in the third giving the Lady Cougars a 3-1 lead.

Holly Posegate went the distance improving to 9-6 on the season striking out seven with three coming in the NOC three-run sixth.
