The Lady Bears' momentum built from Sunday's wins over visiting East Mississippi unfortunately ran out Tuesday evening as the visiting No. 9 Co-Lin Lady Wolves took both contests handing Southwest a 7-0 loss in Game 1 and a 14-3 loss in Game 2.
 
"There's three facets to the game and we didn't do a good job at any of them," Southwest head coach Shea Johnson said. 
 
The Lady Bears (15-25, 5-17 MACCC) fell behind 2-0 after the first inning of the opener on a steal of home and an RBI double.
 
Southwest put one runner on in the bottom half of the inning in an attempt to get its offense going as Lilli Robertson singled. But she was stranded keeping the Bears off of the scoreboard.
 
Co-Lin added to its lead, making it a 3-0 contest following an RBI triple.
 
After the Lady Bears were retired in order in their half of the second, Co-Lin unfortunately made the deficit larger. An RBI single pushed two more runs across putting Southwest in a 5-0 hole.
 
The Lady Wolves rounded-out their scoring in with a run each in the fourth and seventh innings before sealing the win.
 
Southwest starter Mia Pumila went the distance, walking only one batter while striking out two.
 
Madi Smith led the offense with a two-hit effort.
 
In the nightcap, Emme Wallace got the start for Southwest but unfortunately the Co-Lin bats stayed hot as the Lady Wolves plated six runs in the top of the first inning.
 
Despite the deficit, the Lady Bears showed fight at the plate and it showed on the scoreboard. Southwest pushed two across on a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Sarah Stockstill. Pinch runner Robin Neblett also crossed home plate on the same play as she scored on the throw pulling the Lady Bears within four at 6-2.
 
After Wallace retired the Lady Wolves in order in the second, her offense provided a bit more help. Kayci Beth Wallace singled before ensuing batter Shaylee Ingram doubled to right allowing Wallace to score, cutting the Co-Lin lead in half at 6-3.
 
Unfortunately for Southwest, it was the closest that the Lady Bears would get for the remainder of the contest. The Lady Wolves pushed eight runs across the plate in the fourth despite a fresh arm in relief pitcher Lana Dalton coming on late to try and provide a spark.
 
The Lady Bears could not recover, getting retired in order in the fifth and sixth innings before the Lady Wolves preserved the win.
 
Offensively, Southwest was led by Anne Claire Sistrunk who had one hit and two RBIs.
 
The Lady Bears aim to rebound on Saturday when they host the Coahoma Lady Tigers at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
