For the first time this season the Barton Community College softball team broke free from the routine of doubleheaders competing in the Cloud County Invitational this past weekend. After a slow start in the opener, Barton got things rolling going 4-1 during the two-day event. The Cougars lost that opener then won the next four and now stand at 14-3 for the season.“Our defense struggled the first game against Highland and put us in a few tough spots pitching wise,” Barton assistant coach Anna Voss said.
