The Bears were swept at home Friday by the Meridian Eagles in MACJC action, falling 21-1 and 11-4. Game one was ended after five innings.
 
The Bears scored their only run of game one in the bottom of the fifth when a bases-loaded walk to Michael Buck forced Kyle Dillard across the plate.
 
Brendon Baker took the loss on the mound, surrendering four runs on a hit and three walks in less than an inning of work. Buck had a double in the game.
 
Buck's two-out homer to left field gave the Bears a 1-0 first-inning lead in the nightcap. But, Meridian (20-6, 7-3) scored two runs in the second and two in the third to go up 4-1.
 
The Bears made it 4-2 in their half of the third when Nathan Yennie led off with a base hit and score two batters later on a Paco Bello triple.
 
Meridian extended their lead to 11-2 with two runs in the fifth inning and five more in the top of the seventh.
 
The Bears picked up the final runs on the game in the bottom of the seventh. Will Ford led off with a single and scored two batters later on Payton Yawn's second hit of the game. Zach Dearman, on base via a double, crossed the plate on a double play.
 
Daren Smith took the loss on the mound, allowing six runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks. He struck out three batters.
 
The Bears return to action on April 4 when they travel to Ellisville to face the 9th-ranked Jones County Bobcats in a 3:00 conference twinbill.
