Jones rallies late against Northeast in game two to steal split

ELLISVILLE – In another NJCAA Top 15 matchup at Community Bank Park Saturday afternoon, No. 1 Jones led for a half inning all day but rallied for a split with No. 11 Northeast. 

Northeast won the opener, 4-2, before Jones used a two-run bottom of the sixth in the nightcap to rally for a 3-2 win. 

It was the Bobcats' first loss at home in 11 games before a bounceback victory.

Jones moved to 30-5, 8-2 MACCC while Northeast moved to 27-3, 8-2 in conference play.

Northeast 4, Jones 2

The Tigers scored all four of their runs in the sixth inning in a fantastic pitchers' duel.

Jayden Sawyer tied a season-high with 14 punchouts and Northeast's Ramsey Montgomery allowed two runs and struck out six in a complete game.

Leah Walker's RBI-triple plated the game's first run in the sixth. Hailey Minchew followed Walker's triple with a two-run homer to make it 3-0 and Adin Shelton doubled to make it 4-0. 

Jones made it interesting in the bottom of the seventh and was a swing away from tying it.

Makynlie Jones' nation-leading 20th home run pulled Jones within 4-2. After Sawyer singled, the Bobcats had the tying run at the plate in Emily Mizelle. But Montgomery was able to get a pop up to end the game.

Jones 3, Northeast 2

Jones' only lead of the day came via an error on the Tiger catcher Minchew in the bottom of the sixth, scoring pinch-runner Reagan Dale for the go-ahead run.

Sophie Gant's RBI-single put NE on top in the first before a Tiger error plated Marlee Dampeer to make it 1-1 in the third.

A Bobcat fielding error allowed NE to regain the lead in the fifth, 2-1. 

Laney Little's pinch-hit fielder's choice tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth, scoring pinch-runner Farrah James who ran for Mizelle after a leadoff single. Little then stole second and forced a Tiger throw to third to try and pick off Dale, but it backfired and allowed the winning run to score.

Ava Prejean punched out 10 against one walk in her 11th win, including a strikeout swinging and one looking to end it. 

Kaleigh Steverson was 2-for-2 in the designated player spot. Emma Moore, Claire Andersen, Addy Shorter and Mizelle each added a hit. 

Jones is on the road the next six games, starting with a Tuesday, March 25 doubleheader at Meridian with a 4 p.m. first pitch.
