The Bears concluded the road portion of their schedule Sunday afternoon in Moorhead with 16-7 and 7-6 conference losses to the Mississippi Delta Community College Trojans. Game two went eight innings.
 
A two-RBI double from Brady Tynes, a run-scoring double from Jonathan Havard and a Braydon Coffey sacrifice fly helped the Bears take a 5-1 lead in the top of the 1st inning of game one.
 
The Trojans (11-17, 7-13) scored six times in their half of the 2nd inning to take a 7-5 lead.
 
In the top of the 3rd, Coffey blasted a two-run homer over the centerfield fence to tie the score at 7-7.
 
A four-run bottom of the 3rd put the Trojans back on top, 11-7, as they went on to claim the win.
 
Braxton Cooksey took the loss on the mound for the Bears (5-23, 4-16), giving up seven runs on four hits and five walks in 1.1 innings.
 
Ilich Purcell had a double for the Bears.
 
Presley Hall had an RBI-base hit in the top of the 1st in game two to put the Bears on top 1-0. The score went to 3-0 in the Bears' 2nd when Easton Porter recorded an RBI-double and later scored on a passed ball.
 
The Bears made it 6-0 in the top of the 5th on Coffey's solo homer to leftfield, Tynes' RBI double and an RBI-single from Jerod Williams. Tynes also had two singles in the game.
 
The Trojans pulled to within 6-4 in their half of the 5th and added two runs in the bottom of the 7th to knot the game at 6-6 and force the extra inning.
 
A bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 8th gave the Trojans the winning run.
 
Case Roark took the loss on the mound, allowing a run on three hits in 1.1 innings of work.
 
Ajani Johnson had a pair of singles for the Bears while Gage Gregory had a double.

The Bears return to play, and begin a season-ending home stand, on April 14 when they host 2nd-ranked Pearl River in an MACCC twinbill. Game one is scheduled for a 3:00 first pitch.
