The Lady Bears (11-26, 7-19) were down 1-0 in the opener before scoring their only run in the bottom of the third inning. Marisa Pruski reached second base on an error to lead off the frame, moved to third on a steal and reached the plate when Maddy Teague singled to centerfield.
 
Jones County broke the deadlock with a solo run in the top of the fifth and ended the game with an eight-run sixth inning.
 
Teague took the loss in the circle, giving up all 10 runs (two unearned) on nine hits while striking out two batters and walking eight. Leann Jackson gave a hit and struck out one in one inning of work. Shaden Miller and Harley Myers both hit safely.

The visitors then added another run in the top of the fifth and three more in the sixth.
