Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 HILLSBORO, Kan. – Getting ready for their series against Cloud this weekend, Dodge City traveled to Tabor College on Monday where they swept the Blue Jays JV by scores of 14-1 (5 innings) and 16-5 (6 innings.
 
Joe Milano was the starter for game one and went 4.0 innings and allowed one run on one hit while striking out seven batters for his first win of the year. Aaron Duncan also threw a clean fifth inning for the Conquistadors.
 
Dodge City got things going early in game one scoring in the first two batters as Cade Engle led off with a single, stole second and advanced to third on an error. Engle then scored on a sac-fly form Brayden Cook to make it 1-0.
 
The Conqs began to bust it open in the top of the second, as they got four straight hits to start the inning including doubles from Colton Talton and Blake Rast to score two runs and a sac-fly from Engle extended the lead to 4-0.
 
In the third inning, the Conqs continued to add to their lead as they scored six runs on five hits and the help of two bases loaded walks to push their lead to 10-0, heading into the bottom of the third inning. The Conquistadors only got one across in the top of the fourth inning, but it came on Talton's third home run of the season to give Dodge City an 11-0 lead.
 
Not collecting single hit in the bottom of the fourth, Tabor was able to scratch a run across on a wild pitch, but Dodge City responded with three in the top of the fifth on a two-run single from Ian Garcia and a groundout from Talton.
 
Aaron Duncan then entered the game and got two groundouts and a popout to win game one, 14-1.
