The Lady Bears swept an MACJC doubleheader from the visiting Coahoma Lady Tigers Sunday afternoon, taking the opener 6-5 on Melanie Crum's walk-off single in the eighth inning, and the nightcap 11-1 in five innings.
 
In the bottom of the first in game one, Ashley Elsensohn led off with a bunt single, moved to second and third on a pair of passed balls, and scored on a Terrah Nelson groundout to put the Lady Bears on top 1-0.

The Lady Bears (14-20, 7-15) went up 2-0 in the second. On base with the first of her two hits in the game, Miranda Magee stole second and third and scored on Crum's base hit.
 
In the Lady Bears' third, Elsensohn led off with a single (she later added a third hit), stole second and scored on an error that put Nelson on base (Nelson later scored on another error). With two outs, a passed ball allowed Jordan McNabb, on base via an error, to cross the plate to make the score 5-0.
 
Coahoma's bats came alive in the fourth and fifth innings when they scored two and three runs, respectively, to knot the game at 5-5. With neither team able to score further in regulation, the game went to the eighth. Crum's third hit of the game then scored Carrington Jefcoat, on base with a one-out error, to end the game.
Mikaela Smith got the win in the circle in relief for the Lady Bears, allowing only one hit while striking out two batters in two innings of work.
 
After Coahoma (0-24, 0-22) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game two, the Lady Bears quickly ended any possible suspense by racing out to a 9-1 advantage.
 
The Lady Bears' runs in the first came from the bats of Kayla McNabb (RBI single), Magee (RBI single), Jefcoat (RBI single), Elsensohn (RBI single) and Nelson (2-RBI double). A passed ball and two errors allowed the other runs to cross the plate.
 
The score went to 10-1 in the Lady Bears' third when Jami Spears reached base on a lead-off walk and later scored on Nelson's sacrifice fly.
 
Jordan McNabb blasted a lead-off homer in the bottom of the fourth inning, her second hit of the game, to close out the scoring.
 
Smith went 4.1 innings in the circle to get the win in game two. She allowed a run on a pair of hits and two walks while striking out two. Jordan Harp retired both batters she faced to end the game. Carlee Evans had a single for the Lady Bears.
 
The Lady Bears return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Perkinston to face the 17th-ranked Mississippi Gulf Coast Lady Bulldogs. Game one of the conference twinbill is set for 3:00.
