The Lady Bears traveled to Moorhead, Mississippi, this afternoon to conclude their four-game home-and-home series with the Mississippi Delta Lady Trojans. Despite inconsistent fielding and battling the elements, the Lady Bears swept the doubleheader with scores of 9-7 and 6-4. 

Game One 

The Lady Bears scored in five of the seven innings in today's first game of the doubleheader. They received a strong performance in the circle and at the plate from Kailey Dwyer, helping propel the Lady Bears to a 9-7 victory. 

The Lady Bears got on the board in the top of the second inning with three runs. Addysen Thornton led off with a double and scored on a Kinley Meche triple to right field. Meaux Carroll followed with a triple of her own to right field, plating Meche. Kailey Dwyer then hit into a fielder's choice to score Carroll for the Lady Bears' third run of the inning. The Lady Bears added three more runs in the top of the third inning to increase their lead to 6-0. Kyla Ashford and Addysen Thornton drew back-to-back walks to lead off the inning. Kinley Meche hit a double to center field to move Thornton to third. Meaux Carroll connected with a sacrifice fly to plate a tagging Thornton. Lanie Eschette hit a single to right field, driving in Meche. Kailey Dwyer then hit a double to center field to score Eschette. 

Mississippi Delta scored three runs in the bottom of the third, taking advantage of some Lady Bears fielding errors. After three innings, the Lady Bears led 6-3. The Lady Bears scratched across a run in the fourth inning to increase their lead to 7-3. Kinley Meche hit a single to plate Kyla Ashford, who had reached on a fielder's choice. The Lady Bears picked up another run in the fifth inning to extend their lead to 8-3. Kailey Dwyer hit another double, scoring on a Miley Percle single up the middle. 

The Lady Trojans capitalized on more Lady Bears fielding miscues in the bottom of the sixth inning to plate a run, but still trailed 8-4. The Lady Bears added an insurance run in the top of the seventh when Kailey Dwyer struck again with a single up the middle, scoring on a Raievah Craddock infield hit. The Lady Trojans did not go down quietly, again taking advantage of Lady Bears errors and finding timely hitting to plate three runs. However, it was not enough as the Lady Bears held on for a 9-7 victory. 

Kailey Dwyer starred in the circle for the Lady Bears and earned the victory. She pitched seven innings, allowing seven runs (one earned) on five hits while walking three and striking out one. C. Henderson started in the circle for the Lady Trojans and took the loss, pitching seven innings, allowing nine runs on fourteen hits while walking five and striking out three. Baton Rouge out-hit Mississippi Delta 14 to 5, but the Lady Bears were credited with seven errors compared to three for the Lady Trojans. 

Lady Bears Highlights  

Game Two 

In a spirited effort against the fading sunlight, the Lady Bears managed just enough offense to defeat the Lady Trojans 6-4 in the second game of today's doubleheader. 

The Lady Bears struck first, scoring two runs in the second inning. Lauren Landrum and Meaux Carroll led off with back-to-back singles. Landrum stole second and scored on a fielding error by the Lady Trojans, while Carroll crossed home plate on a single up the middle by Jardyn Wheeler. 

The Lady Trojans responded with a run in the bottom of the second inning when A. Johnson hit a triple and scored on a passed ball, leaving the score at 2-1 in favor of the Lady Bears after two innings. The Lady Bears extended their lead with a run in the third inning, making it 3-1. Lindsey Hudson reached base on an error and scored after Landrum's single to centerfield.

In the top of the sixth, the Lady Bears capitalized on more fielding errors by the Lady Trojans, adding two more runs to their tally, making it 6-2. Miley Percle reached base on an error, and Raievah Craddock drew a walk; both scored when Kyla Ashford reached base on yet another fielding miscue. 

As darkness approached, the Lady Trojans fought back, scoring two runs in a chaotic bottom of the sixth to pull within two runs at 6-4. However, due to dwindling daylight and safety concerns, the game was called, and the Lady Bears were credited with the victory. 

Abbey Borel started in the circle for the Lady Bears and earned the win, pitching 6 innings and allowing 4 runs on 4 hits while walking 5 and striking out 8. M. Woods started for the Lady Trojans and took the loss, also pitching 6 innings and allowing 6 runs (3 earned) on 7 hits with 1 walk.
