Lady Bears drop a heart breaker at 7th-ranked Itawamba, 2-0 to open MACJC playoffs

The Lady Bears' first-ever MACJC playoff contest was a heart breaker as the host Itawamba Lady Indians scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to win a pitcher's duel, 2-0, Saturday in Fulton.

The teams will meet again Sunday afternoon at 1:00 in Fulton for game two of the best-of-three series. A win for the Lady Bears (23-20) will force a deciding game three, also tomorrow afternoon.

Both teams squandered scoring chances through the first 5 ½ innings Saturday. The Lady Indians (38-8), ranked 7th in the NJCAA, used a single and two errors to record both runs in their half of the sixth.

Lady Bears' head coach Shea Johnson said his team "played really well and I was proud of their effort", but "we're going to have to have more quality at bats."

MACY FULTON took the complete-game loss in the circle, despite another outstanding performance. She allowed two runs, both unearned, on five hits while striking out two.
JENNA DUFF had a double and single for the Lady Bears while JORDAN FITZGERALD and AUSTIN PRUITT both had a single.
