The Fort Scott Community College Baseball team played eight games in six days versus the two Kansas City area community colleges, Kansas City Kansas Community College and Johnson County Community College. The Greyhounds came out with a 5-3 record after splitting the four game series with KCKCC and winning three of four games versus JCCC.

The first day of the KCKCC series saw the Greyhounds travel on the road and fall by a score of 4-2.  Fort Scott had a chance to tie the game or pull ahead with the lead in the seventh inning, but left the bases loaded with two outs when KCKCC starting pitcher, Zac Butler, got the final out to end the threat and the game. Game two starting pitcher, freshman Aaron Mason, threw a complete game shutout as the Greyhounds won 7-0.  Offensively, freshman Ka'ai Tom, hit his fourth homerun of the year in the fifth inning to make the score 7-0.

Day two of the series brought another split as the Greyhounds won game one 2-1.  Starting pitcher, Ryan Ahrens, went four innings allowing one run and reliever, John Lynch pitched the final three innings without allowing a run.  Game two saw the Greyhound bats quieted by two KCKCC pitchers as the score ended in favor of KCKCC 2-0.

The Greyhounds returned home for a four game series versus JCCC, which also was the Greyhounds home opener on the season after playing the first 17 games of the year on the road.  Game one brought some theatrics as the Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead and kept it until the Greyhounds tied the score in the sixth inning.  The score remained tied until the Cavaliers scored two runs in the top of the ninth inning to put them ahead 7-5. The Greyhounds bottom of the ninth inning started off with a leadoff single by Lance Barkley.  Reyn Sugai followed with a line drive out to the JCCC left fielder.  Josh Griffith singled advancing Barkley to third base.  Freshman, Alex Copeland stepped up to the plate and hit the first pitch he saw for a game winning three run walk-off home run over the center field fence just out of reach of the Cavalier center fielder.

Game two of the series saw freshman, Aaron Mason, throw his second shutout of the week as the Greyhounds won 4-0.  Sophomore, Reyn Sugai, and freshman, Parker O'Dell, both had two hits apiece and an RBI to lead the Greyhounds offense.

Game three of the series saw Cavalier's ace, Matt Blackham, and closer Nick Kolarik shut down the Greyhounds as JCCC won 2-0.

Game two brought out more heroics as the Greyhounds once again came from behind to win the game in the final inning.  JCCC jumped out early and often scoring one run in the first five innings of the game to command a 5-3 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning.  The Greyhounds scratched a run across the plate make the score 5-4. After a scoreless top half of the seventh inning, the Greyhounds had a runner on second base and two outs.  Cavalier pitchers proceeded to hit three batters in a row to tie the score and load the bases with two outs. With sophomore John Morey batting, the Cavalier pitcher threw a wild pitch which brought home freshman Josh Griffith to score the winning run and help the Greyhounds win the series three games to one.

The Greyhounds are slated to return to action at Lions Field versus Cowley County Community College on Friday at 2:00pm, pending weather.

The Greyhounds are 14-7 overall and 7-5 in conference play.
