The 17th-ranked Lady Bears were upset in a pair of MACCC games at Northeast Mississippi Saturday afternoon, falling 3-2 (in eight innings) in the opener and 7-1 in the finale.
 
The losses dropped the Lady Bears to 19-13 overall and 11-11 in conference play. Northeast moved to 21-15, 14-10.
 
The Lady Bears took a 1-0 lead in the 3rd inning of game one when Madison Moak reached base on a one-out single and scored on a Mel Lewis' second hit of the game.
 
Two doubles and a fielder's choice resulted in a 2-1 lead for Northeast in the bottom of the 4th.
 
In the top of the 7th, a two-out Northeast error allowed pinch-runner Jayden Davis to cross the plate and tie the game at 2-2. Neither team could produce additional runs in the inning to force the extra play.
 
After the Lady Bears failed to score in the top of the 8th, a pair of singles in the bottom of the frame gave Northeast the walk-off win.
 
Jensen Gremillion allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in taking the complete-game loss. She struck out three batters.
 
Northeast led 7-0 in game two before the Lady Bears scored in the top of the 7th when Lewis reached on a fielder's choice and scored later on a passed ball.
 
Jade Latham took the loss in the circle, giving up five runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings. She struck out two batters.
 
Jenna Brock and Bailey Buckley both had a single and double in the game. Madison Moak singled twice and Latham doubled.
 
The Lady Bears return to action on April 20 when they travel to Decatur to face the Lady Warriors of East Central. Game one is scheduled to get underway at 3:00.
