Conquistador Baseball Falls to Butler in Four Straight Over Weekend Series

The Dodge City Community College baseball team lost four straight contests to the Butler Grizzlies in a Thursday-Sunday weekend series on April 8^th and 10^th.

The Conquistadors began by welcoming the Grizzlies to Cavalier Field for two games on April 8^th, losing 15-3 and 8-7. They traveled the El Dorado to return the favor with two more games on April 10^th, losing 11-10 and 11-3 to go 0-4 on the weekend.

Dodge City's vaunted offense didn't seem to have many answers for the Grizzly pitching, outside of a 10-run outburst in Game One on April 10^th. Four of those 10 runs came in a 7^th inning rally that saw the Conqs' Alex Smith and Trent Trammell hit back-to-back home runs in the inning to tie the contest at 10, only to have their pitching staff walk in the game winning run in the bottom of the 7^th.

The Conquistadors fall to 15-16 on the season and 2-14 in KJCCC play. The four losses extend their conference losing streak to 13 games. The Grizzlies improve to 16-8 on the season and 13-7 in KJCCC play. Dodge City will have a chance to get back on track when they engage in a weekend series with the Pratt Beavers on April 15^th and April 17^th. The Conquistadors travel to Pratt for a doubleheader on the 15^th but will be back at Cavalier Field for a Saturday doubleheader on the 17^th beginning at 1:00 pm.
