RAYMOND – Hinds Community College baseball split with Jones College Tuesday evening behind an extra-inning walk-off double by Gavin Mink (Olive Branch) in game two.
 
The Bobcats of Jones used a six-run second inning to take game one 7-3. Mink's double secured the 2-1 victory in game two.
 
Game one
 
The Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a Vantrel Reed (Vicksburg) RBI single that scored Justin Williams (Madison).
 
Jones would then score six runs in the top of the second to take a 6-1 lead. The Bobcats would eventually grab another run in the sixth, which would be all the runs they needed to take game one.
 
Hinds got two more runs in the seventh inning to cut into the lead on two walks by Clay Benson (Monroe, La.) and Reed.
 
Getting the start on the mound in game one was Holland Townes (Ridgeland), who exited after 4.2 innings of work. Townes struck out four and scattered five hits. Holland gave way to Mayson Shealy (Vicksburg) and Nasson Rodriguez (Madison), who both contributed two innings a piece.
 
Game two
 
Jones struck first and scored their only run of the game in the first inning. Starting pitcher Connor Nation (Madison) had another seven-inning performance, striking out six and giving up only three hits in the contest. Kendrick Bershell (Vicksburg) threw the final inning for the Eagles.
 
The Eagle bats were stifled for a large part of game two. Hinds would get their first run of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning when Connor Chisolm (Madison) scored on a wild pitch.
 
The deciding run came off the bat of Mink, who walked the game off in the bottom of the eighth inning.
 
Up next
 
The Eagles return to the diamond on Friday when they head to East Mississippi Community College for their final series of the regular season. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. in Scooba.
