Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 LA JUNTA, Colo. -- The Dodge City Community College baseball team rallied in the first game and held off an Otero charge in game two to sweep the Rattlers 4-2 and 9-6 Tuesday on the road.

The victory is the Conquistadors' fifth in a row - the fourth time this season they've put together a win streak of five games or more.

Jason Nichols made it three hits in a row when he ripped an RBI single to cut the DC3 deficit to 2-1 - the start of a big day for the sophomore as he finished the doubleheader with six RBI.

The Rattlers (20-29) were able to get out of the jam in the sixth with no more damage, but the Conqs got rolling again in the seventh - ignited by a lead-off single by Ivan Gonzalez.

Jake Pederson followed with a single, and after a Robert Perea fielder's choice, a Rattler error allowed Pederson to score and tie the game 2-2.
