Both teams entered Thursday afternoon with a conference record of 7-9. With both wins, KCKCC is now in fourth place behind Cowley (18-4), Johnson County (18-4) and Coffeyville (13-9).

In the first game, Cade Parry went 1-3 at the plate and brought in one runner. Both Spenser Smock and Ian Woita had an RBI and combined for one run.

After a Greyhound mound visit, Nolen IV took one pitch for a strike to make the count 0-1. On the second high and outside pitch, Nolen IV swung and got every bit of the ball to send it over the right field wall to retake the lead, 6-5. KCKCC wasn't done just yet as Braden Horn hit a double to left field with no outs to keep the bats rolling. Holden Finley pinch ran for Horn and would eventually score off of a sac-fly to right field from Colton Kirkham to finish off the Blue Devil scoring.
