Jones opens MACCC baseball slate with sweep at Northwest

SENATOBIA – Fourth-ranked Jones opened MACCC play Wednesday afternoon with a road sweep over No. 21 Northwest by 11-7 and 7-4 finals.

The Bobcats, 16-5, scored the first seven runs of the day and trailed only once, in the sixth inning of game two, in the pair of wins.

Jones will host Itawamba on Friday, March 14 at 2 p.m. in its first home conference doubleheader. Those games have been moved up from Saturday due to expected rain.

Jones 11, Northwest 7

Cole Manuel hit a first-inning grand slam and TJ Dunsford homered in the second as Jones swung its way to a game one win.

Leading 7-0 after three, Northwest got three back in the fourth on a Walker Sanders double and Mason McMillin two-run homer. 

Josh Lee worked 6.0 innings allowing four runs on seven hits with eight punch outs and no walks. 

Gage Reeves and Talan Theriot stretched the lead back out to 11-4 in the eighth thanks to a two-run single and fielder's choice.

The Rangers threatened in the bottom of the ninth, loading the bases with no outs. An RBI-double, sac fly and wild pitch pulled Northwest within 11-7 before Coleman Capaci was able to get a strikeout and fly out.

Chase Russell was 4-for-5 to lead a 14-hit attack for Jones. Nine different Bobcats had at least one hit.

Jones 7, Northwest 4

Andrew Marble gave up a go-ahead homer in the sixth but the Bobcat bats picked him up in the top of the seventh with four runs for the comeback and sweep. 

Bryson Jones scored on a wild pitch to open the scoring in the third and was followed by an RBI-groundout and Ranger error to take a 3-0 lead.

Marble carried a one-hitter into the sixth but gave up back-to-back singles and a go-ahead homer to McMillin to trail 4-3. Northwest ran themselves out of the inning with a caught stealing.

Jones was plunked to start the top of the seventh, moved over on a sac bunt by Evan Rogers and scored on Brice Ainsworth's RBI-single to tie it at 4-4. Russell then hit a go-ahead single to center before Dominick Regira and Braden Smith drew bases-loaded walks.

Caden Freeman then threw a clean seventh to earn his first collegiate win.

Ainsworth was 3-for-3 in the No. 9 hole with the game-tying RBI.
