Bears drop South Division openers

MACJC South Division play got off to a less than ideal beginning for the Southwest Bears Wednesday as they dropped a pair of games to visiting Jones County, 4-1 and 7-0. With the losses, the Bears dropped to 9-9 on the season while Jones County climbed to 14-6, 2-0.
 
Trailing 2-0 after the first half inning of game one, Southwest scored its only run of the day in the bottom of the frame when Brandon Austin led off with a double. He moved to third base on a one-out wild pitch and reached the plate on Collin Carroll’s sacrifice fly. Jones County added a solo run in the top of the third inning and another in the top of the seventh to take the win.
 
Trace Robinson took the loss on the mound for the Bears. He gave up three runs in 4.1 innings with four strikeouts and a walk. J. D. Stockstill gave up one run in two innings with one strikeout. Jared Simon had a strikeout in 2/3 innings. Patric Devlin, Logan Ferrell and Kendric Hodges all singled for Southwest.
 
A base hit, wild pitch and Southwest error allowed the Bobcats to score the only run they would need in the top of the second inning of the nightcap. They added another run in the third, two more in the fifth and three in the seventh.
 
Jesse Travis went four innings on the mound to take the loss for Southwest. He surrendered two runs, one earned, on five hits. He struck out one batter and walked one. Colton Lee, Jackson Crain, Austin White and Kade Scivicque also saw action on the mound.
 
The Bears, victims of five inning-ending double plays in the game, were limited to singles by Austin and Collin Carroll. Austin’s base hit extended his hitting streak to seven games.

Southwest returns to the diamond Thursday when they host the Cougars of Illinois Central College. Game one is set for a 2:00 first pitch.
