WESSON, Miss. – The Copiah-Lincoln Community Lady Wolves suffered two losses at the hands of No. 1 Jones County Junior College Wednesday afternoon, 8-0 and 9-0.

Game times are set for 2 and 4 p.m.

"Our pitching put us in a bind today," said Lady Wolves head coach Allen Kent. "I think we issued 12 walks. That puts the pressure on your defense, and it showed, as we kicked it around some in the field...you can't expect to beat anyone like that, especially the No. 1 team in the nation."
