Bears make season debut with sweep of Mineral Area College

Darian Tunstall's sixth inning grand slam was the big blow as the Bears completed a sweep of the visiting Mineral Area College Cardinals with an 8-4 win in the nightcap of their season-opening double header Friday afternoon. The Bears got a run in the bottom of the seventh to win the opener 3-2.
 
An error by the Bears and Tanner Wetrich's double helped the Cardinals take a 2-0 lead in the top of the second in game two.
 
The Bears made it 2-1 in their half of the second when Scooter Ginn led off with a single, the first of his two in the game, and scored on a
John Marcus McDowell double to right field.
 
The Cardinals made it 4-1 in the top of the third when Devon Wilson sent a 1-1 pitch over the left field fence with a runner on base
 
Brantley Hughes led off the Bears' third with a line-drive single to left field (he finished the game with four hits). Moving to third on a Quartez Brown hit, Hughes later scored on a two-out steal of home, making the score 4-2.
 
The Bears made it 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth when McDowell led off with a single and later scored on another steal of home.
 
McDowell's second double of the game, and last of his four hits, scored  Ginn from second base in the bottom of the sixth, allowing the Bears to tie the game at 4-4.
 
Then came the bottom of the sixth and Tunstall's winning blast.
 
Taft Nesmith pitched three innings of relief of Carr Young, striking out six batters while giving up three hits, to record the win for the Bears. Young gave up four runs, two earned, on three hits in four innings of work. He struck out three batters while issuing two bases on balls.
 
The Bears trailed 2-0 in the opener before trying the game in their half of the sixth.Isaiah Davis drilled a double past the Cardinals' shortstop to allow Hughes and Ginn to reach the plate.
 
The winning run crossed the plate in the bottom of the seventh when Andrew Beesley raced home on a bases-loaded wild pitch.
 
Kyle Coleman pitched two innings in relief of starter Tyler Pigott to get the win. Coleman allowed two hits while striking out one. Pigott gave up both of the Cardinals runs on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out four batters.

Tunstall and Payton Yawn both had a pair of singles in the game.
 
"The kids played hard," said Bears head coach Ken Jackson. "We're so young and, because of that, I was worried about how they would respond, but they responded very well and came out and played hard and good things happened for us."
 
"We got good pitching today," Jackson continued. "Both our starters gave us a chance to win. We got into the bullpen and both (Coleman and Nesmith) threw well."
 
The Bears return to the diamond on February 18 when they travel to Pineville, LA, to face the Louisiana College JV. Game one of the doubleheader is set for a 1:00 first pitch.
