Tuesday was a long night in more ways than one for the Bears as they dropped an MACJC doubleheader, and the final games of the Coca-Cola Challenge presented by Powerade, to visiting Co-Lin 8-5 and 14-4. Game two ended after five innings.
 
Co-Lin took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth and held it until the bottom of the sixth. That is when Tyler White led off with a double for the Bears and scored on
Kyle Singleton's follow up two base hits to tie the game at 1-1.
 
Two runs crossed the plate for Co-Lin (14-7, 3-5) in the top of the eighth to give the visitors a 3-1 advantage. In the bottom of the frame, RBI singles from Zach Dearman, Michael Buck (his second hit of the game), T Tez Cole (his second hit) and White put the Bears on top 5-3.
 
Unfortunately, the Bears' lead was short-lived. Sending 10 batters to the plate in the top of the ninth, Co-Lin scored five runs and held on to claim the victory.
 
Jarid Sturgeon took the loss in relief, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks in one inning on the mound. Isaiah Davis had a double and single for the Bears while
Will Ford had a double.
 
Co-Lin took a 1-0 first-inning lead in the finale. The Bears (7-12, 4-4) answered in the bottom of the frame with Buck's RBI double and run-scoring singles from Davis and White to take a 3-1 lead.
 
After Co-Lin tied the game at 3-3 in the top of the second, the Bears responded in the bottom of the frame when Paco Bello reached base on a two-out walk. He later scored on a passed ball to give the Bears their last lead of the game, 4-3.
 
Co-Lin would go on to score 11 runs over the course of the third, fourth and fifth innings to close out the game.
 
Cody Ross took the loss in relief, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk in less than an inning of work. Payton Yawn had a double for the Bears.
 
The Bears return to action Friday when they host the Meridian Eagles. Game one of the conference doubleheader is set for a 2:00 first pitch.
