BAY MINETTE, Ala. – No. 2 Jones hung on for a 12-9 win on an extremely windy day at Coastal Alabama-South in the opener and was walked-off in the nightcap, 5-4, to split a pair Wednesday afternoon.

Playing just its third and fourth true road games, the Bobcats have been away from home now for 13 straight games. They'll close out a 17-game away streak on Sunday at No. 5 LSU Eunice.

Jones moved to 18-3 with the split and CACC-South improved to 10-6.  

Jones 12, CACC-South 9

The Cats pounced for eight runs in the second inning and were poised for a run-rule win in the sixth leading 12-3 but had to hang on in the bottom of the seventh with the tying run at the plate.

Laney Little's second double of the game scored a pair to make it 3-0 in the eight-run second, Chloe Jenkins followed with an RBI-single, Mary Kimble Price followed win an RBI-single and Madison Sawyer capped the big frame with her first collegiate home run, a three-run blast.

Brooke Cooper got the Coyotes on the board in the bottom half with a solo homer.

Charlotte Lottinger got Coastal closer in the third with a two-run homer to make it 8-3.

Addy Shorter looked to put it away with a three-run homer to center in the sixth, but things got interesting quick.

Five Coyote singles in the bottom of the sixth, aided by two costly throwing errors, plated six runs to cut the gap to 12-9 Jones after six.

After a leadoff walk and hit-by-pitch put the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the seventh, Morgan Landry entered for Breelyn Cain and proceeded to get a strikeout and double play ball to save the game for Jones.

Jones finished with 18 hits, three from Shorter, Price and Sawyer. The Coyotes had 15 hits.

Sawyer improved to 7-0, scattering five runs on 10 hits in 5.1 innings, and Landry her first collegiate save.

Eason drilled a ball to straight-away center to set the tone in game two and give Jones a 3-0 lead in the first but the Coyotes would score three runs in the bottom of the seventh to walk-off the Bobcats.

Jenkins' two-run single plated the first two runs in the first before Eason's solo shot.

Coastal got one back in the bottom half on an RBI-single from Brianna Ryan but Price's fielder's choice would answer in the third to make it 4-1 Jones.

The Bobcats were held to just one hit, however, the final four innings.

The Coyotes hit a solo homer in the third to pull to 4-2 and then hung around to give themselves a chance in the final inning.

Back-to-back singles and a sac fly made it 4-3, an infield single tied the game and then a pinch-hit single just over Landry's head scored the winning run.
