Box Score

Dodge City baseball stepped out of conference play for a quick trip down to Alva, Oklahoma, and took on Northwestern Oklahoma State JV for one contest on Monday and picked up a 13-2 win. 

The win moves the Conquistadors to 21-7 on the season and 11-3 on the road this season. 

The Conqs wasted no time getting on the board early as Tate Blasi opened the game with a triple which was followed by a home run from Andrew Detlefsen to make the contest 2-0. In the bottom of the first NWOSU would use three walks to work the bases loaded and a Conq error would score two for the Rangers to tie the game up at 2-2. The rest of the scoring would be down by the Conqs as Detlefsen belted his second home run of the day in the top of the third to make it 3-2. In the fifth inning, the Conqs would continue to score as Nathan Harmon belted a three-run home run and then Joseph Dominguez notched a two-RBI single later in the inning as the Conqs scored five in the frame. Leading 8-2 the Conqs put together another five-run inning in the top of the seventh as Dominguez delivered an RBI single, while Cayden Cartmill then had a two-RBI single, followed by an RBI single from Luke O'Neill and an RBI double from Brady Henke leading to a 13-2 advantage. The Conqs would retire NWOSU JV in order in the bottom of the seventh to secure the win. 

A 15-hit attack helped pace the Conqs to the win with a three-hit performance from Dominguez leading the offense as he was 3-4 with a run scored, and three RBI. Detlefsen finished 2-3 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored, while Cartmill added a 2-2 performance with two RBI, a double, and a run scored.
