The Baton Rouge Bears traveled to Raymond, Mississippi, this afternoon to play a twin bill against the Hinds Community College Lady Eagles at Rene T. Warren Field. The Lady Bears were swept by the Lady Eagles in two close games, 10-9 and 2-1.

Game One 

Despite a quick start by the Lady Bears and a late battle to tie the game, the Lady Eagles walked off with a 10-9 victory in Game One.  

The Lady Bears erupted for five runs in the top of the first inning to take an early lead. Miley Percle led off with a single to left field. Raievah Craddock followed with an infield single, advancing Percle to third base. The Lady Eagles attempted to tag Percle out, but the tag was missed, allowing Percle to score on a pick-off attempt of Craddock at second. Craddock later moved to third on a fielder's choice by Hudson and scored on a wild pitch, marking the Lady Bears' second run of the inning. Meaux Carroll then drew a walk, followed by back-to-back singles from Kyla Ashford and Lanie Eschette, which drove in Carroll. Jardyn Wheeler singled to left field to score Ashford, and Addysen Thornton hit a single that brought Eschette home, although Thornton was thrown out trying to advance to second base for the third out. 

The Lady Eagles managed to score one run in the bottom of the first but still trailed 5-1. The Lady Bears extended their lead to 6-1 in the top of the second inning when Miley Percle and Raievah Craddock hit back-to-back singles, and Meaux Carroll drew a walk to load the bases. Kyla Ashford then hit a sacrifice fly that allowed Percle to tag up and score. 

The Lady Eagles picked up another run in the bottom of the third inning, narrowing the gap to 6-2. The Lady Bears responded with two runs in the top of the fourth to take an 8-2 lead. Addysen Thornton led off with a single to right field, and Miley Percle reached on an error by the Lady Eagles. Both advanced an extra sixty feet due to the same error. Lindsey Hudson hit a double to left field, scoring both Thornton and Percle. Meaux Carroll and Kyla Ashford drew back-to-back walks, loading the bases for the Bears, but they were unable to capitalize further. 

The Lady Eagles caught fire in the bottom of the fourth, scoring five runs to pull within one of the Lady Bears at 8-7. This momentum carried over into the bottom of the fifth inning as they took advantage of a Lady Bears fielding error, a walk, and several hits to plate two runs, overtaking the Lady Bears with a 9-7 lead. 

With their backs against the wall and two outs in the top of the seventh, the Lady Bears tied the game at 9. Jardyn Wheeler singled to left field and was replaced on the bases by Karley Chaney. Addysen Thornton hit a double down the left field line, scoring Chaney from first. Miley Percle then hit a single to right field, but Thornton was caught trying to score on the play. 

The Lady Eagles led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk, advanced to second on a steal, and reached third on a sacrifice bunt. They hit a ground ball to Lady Bears third baseman Lanie Eschette, who attempted to tag the runner out at home. However, during the rundown, the Lady Eagles slid under the tag to walk off with a 10-9 victory.
