COUGARS 13, NEOSHO 0 (G1) —Kyle Walker's fourth inning two-out single initiated a seven-run Cougar rally. Walker's single produced the first of nine straight reaching base safely with two-away as Barton sent 11 to the dish.

Producing extra bases on four of their eight hits, Tate Blasi's first of two doubles originated the scoring. Cesar Gomez extended the lead one batter later with the second double in the inning driving in a pair. Back-to-back bases loaded RBI walks drawn by Ayden Hadley and John Connors kept the crooked frame going with Wyatt Yetter's two-run single capping the two-out seven run inning.

The offensive production carried over into the fifth as the Cougars sent all nine to the plate for the second straight inning adding five more runs. Tyler Janssen's one-out single drove in Blasi's leadoff hit-by-pitch with Hadley's bases loaded two-RBI double and Neosho error allowing Connors to reach pushed two more across making it 12-0.

Barton's final tally came on Gomez sacrifice fly in the sixth driving in Blasi's leadoff double.

Treto struck out five and yielded two baserunners in seven no-hit innings, a second inning walk and a seventh-inning error.

COUGARS 9, NEOSHO 3 (G2) — Barton broke a scoreless contest in the fourth inning with four runs.

Hunter Alvord opened the home fourth drawing one of the two Cougar walks in the nightcap scoring two batters later on Yetter's RBI reaching fielder's choice.

Walker's ensuing two-bagger increased the lead by a pair while Kyle Graves two-out single back up the middle topping the four-run frame and 4-0 advantage.

Alvord and Hadley singles kickstarted the fifth inning with the Cougars tacking a run across on Yetter's sacrifice fly for a 5-0 lead.

Barton delivered the knockout blow with a four run eighth as a pair of hit-by-pitches to Walker and Gomez flipped the lineup back to the top of the order creating Janssen's RBI single and Alvord's three-run no-doubter to left field for the sophomore's team leading 17th round tripper of the season.

Neosho County strung three of their seven hits in the ninth, spoiling the Cougars shutout bid with their lone three runs on the afternoon coming off a pair of singles and sacrifice fly.

Minaker yielded four hits over seven shutout innings with six strikeouts.
