Allen Community College’s baseball team split a home doubleheader against Kansas City Monday to wrap up the regular season.
Allen won the first game, 5-0, coming off an impressive pitching performance from J.D. Prochaska.
“It was a great game,” coach Val McLean said. “J.D. Prochaska just pitched a superb game and Keil Stauffer came in and closed it the last inning. It was a good solid game all the way around.”
Prochaska pitched six shutout innings to earn the win.
The Blue Devils got to the Red Devils in the second game, winning 11-1.
The wind was gusting all day, but really hurt Allen in the second game. McLean said one ball got over the right fielder that should have been caught resulting in a couple runs to score.
“It’s really tough to play in that type of wind. It’s really tough,” McLean said.
Statistics from the games were unavailable by press time.
The Red Devils end the regular season with a 14-35 record and an 8-28 mark in Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division action. Allen travels to Hutchinson — the top seed in the Jayhawk Conference Western Division — at 1 p.m. Saturday to open the Region VI playoffs.
The teams will play a doubleheader to kick off the best-of-three series. A third game, if necessary, will be at 1 p.m. Sunday at Hutchinson.
