The Lady Bears split a home MACJC doubleheader with Northwest Mississippi Friday afternoon, winning the opener 8-0 before falling 2-1 in the finale. Game one was stopped after six innings.
 
Ashley Elsensohn reached on an error in the bottom of the first to start game one for the Lady Bears. She crossed the plate three batters later on a Jordan McNabb ground out to make the score 1-0.
 
In the Lady Bears' third, Miranda Magee tripled to right field with two outs and scored on Jordan McNabb's base hit to make the score 2-0.
 
The score went to 5-0 in the bottom of the fourth. Madison Bates led off with a base hit and scored on Terrah Nelson's RBI double (her second hit of the game). Two batters later, Elsensohn's double to centerfield sent Nelson home and Kayla McNabb followed with a triple to score Elsensohn (Kayla McNabb also had two singles in the game).
 
A pair of errors and Jami Spears' base-scoring single resulted in two more runs and a 7-0 lead for the Lady Bears (11-13, 4-10) in the bottom of the fifth.
 
The Lady Bears closed out the game in their sixth when Elsensohn led off with a single to right field and scored four batters later on a Makennah Redd base hit.
 
Kassie Shipley pitched an excellent game in the circle to get the win for the Lady Bears. In her six innings of work, she allowed only three hits while striking out five.
 
Using two walks, a stolen base and a Lady Bears' error, Northwest (10-12, 4-8) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game two. A double, sacrifice and wild pitch then allowed them to score what proved to be the winning run, and go up 2-0, in the top of the second.
 
The Lady Bears scored their only run in the bottom of the third when Magee doubled to left field with one out, the first of her two hits in the game, and scored three batters later on the first of two Carrington Jefcoat base hits.
 
Pitching 3.1 innings, Mikaela Smith took the loss in the circle. She surrendered both Northwest runs while allowing only one hit and issuing two walks while striking out three.
 
Kayla McNabb and Spears both singled twice for the Lady Bears.
 
The Lady Bears return to action on Monday when they travel to Decatur to face the East Central Lady Warriors. Game one of the conference twinbill is set for a 3:00 first pich.
