Co-Lin 6, Jones 2
Emily Mizelle's 16th home run of the year cut the Co-Lin lead to 3-2 in the top of the sixth before a three-run bottom of the sixth for the Lady Wolves put the game out of reach.
Co-Lin scored two in the first and got a solo home run in the third.
Jayden Sawyer, 5-2, went the distance in the circle, allowing six runs on five hits with six walks and six strikeouts. She added two hits at the plate.
Emily Richarde improved to 11-0 in a complete-game, six-strikeout night.
Jones 5, Co-Lin 4
Jones plated four runs in the top of the sixth, highlighted by Montana's three-run homer, to battle back for a doubleheader split and hand Co-Lin its first home loss.
Addy Shorter's RBI-single through the left side broke a scoreless game open in the fourth.
The lead was short-lived, however, for Jones as Stella Roberts smashed a two-run homer in the bottom half and Co-Lin got two more to lead 4-1.
Ava Prejean was subbed out for
Breelyn Cain in the inning and Cain would not allow a run the final 3.1 innings and just four hits.
Meredith Fontenot hit an RBI-single to get the game back to within 4-2 and then Montana's homer gave Jones back the lead.
The Lady Wolves looked to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh and walk-it-off, getting runners to second and third with two outs. But Cain was able to get a lineout to seal the win.
Cain, now 10-3 on the season, is 9-0 her last 11 appearances in the circle.
Taylor Efferson took the loss after allowing five runs on 11 hits with six strikeouts and a walk.
