KANSAS CITY, Kan. —The Allen Community College baseball team ended the longest road trip in program history on a rough note Thursday, dropping both games of its doubleheader to Kansas City Kansas, 12-10 and 13-9.

Josh Prinner and Alec Roberts both had three hits in the opener, but Red Devil pitchers surrendered seven walks.

Roberts and Jonah Weisner had three hits in the finale, but KCK batters slugged out 19 hits to complete the sweep.

Allen (26-18) has yet to play a true home game this season because of an ongoing turf replacement project on the ACC baseball diamond.

With the work now complete, the Red Devils will get to play its first true home game this afternoon against this same KCK squad. 

First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Allen will get two more home games next Thursday against Highland before heading to Highland next Saturday to wrap up the regular season.
