Bears win high-scoring game one, split at home with LSUA-JV

The Bears overcame an early six-run deficit to defeat the visiting LSUA Generals JV squad 9-8 in the first game of their Wednesday evening doubleheader. The Generals came back to earn a split with a 3-2 win in the nightcap.

The split left the Bears with a 5-1 overall record.
 
Trailing 6-0, the Bears began their comeback in the bottom of the second inning. The first run came on Zach Thomas' two-out double. Andrew Beesley doubled with the bases loaded to score three runs (he later added a single) and scored on a Brantley Hughes base hit. Isaiah Davis then singled to drive in another run to knot the game at 6-6.
 
The Bears took an 8-6 lead in their half of the third when Thomas sent the first pitch he saw over the fence in left centerfield. Also scoring on the play was Crishaun Speight.
 
A pair of doubles, a single, error and sacrifice fly allowed the Generals to score two runs and tie the game at 8-8 in the top of the sixth. The Bears picked up the winning run in the bottom of the frame when John Marcus McDowell led off with a single and scored on Hughes' base hit.
 
Taft Nesmith spent three innings on the mound in relief, allowing two runs on five hits, to get the win for the Bears. Tyler Pigott pitched one inning, striking out one and allowing one hit, to get the save.
 
Game two was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning when Hughes reached base on an error and later scored on Austin Moen's single to put the Bears on top 1-0.
 
The Generals tied the game with a run in the top of the fifth and scored two more in the top of the sixth to take a 3-1 lead.
 
The Bears drew to within a run in their final at bat when Beesley lead off the frame with a triple and later scored onPayton Yawn's fly ball out. But, they would be unable to score more runs as the Generals held on for the narrow win.
 
Cody Miller pitched 1.1 innings, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk, to take the loss for the Bears. T Tez Cole had a pair of hits in the game.
 
"Offensively, I thought we played pretty well," said Bears head coach Ken Jackson. "I like the way our kids fought back after getting behind early (in game one). Even in the second game, we were down by two and came back and had a chance to do some damage."
 
"Our kids played hard," Jackson went on. "We just didn't pitch really well at times, but at times we did pitch really well. We walked too many people and we left too many people in scoring position during the game to win game two. But, the kids played hard and they're growing up. We play a lot of freshmen and    they have to grow up fast."
 
The Bears take a few days off before returning to the diamond on March 1 in New Orleans for a 4:00 doubleheader against the Delgado Dolphins.
