Millsaps College -- The baseball rivalries between three Jackson-area colleges will reach a new level this spring as the teams compete to win the "Cowboy Maloney Series."  Millsaps College, Belhaven College, and Mississippi College will vie for the series championship and bragging rights for the year.   As part of the series, the three teams will play three games with each other throughout the season.  The team with the best record at the completion of the series will be awarded the "Maloney Trophy." 
     "We wanted to do something to elevate the interest in college baseball in the Jackson area," said Millsaps Head Coach Jim Page.   "We hope this is the start of something big."
     The Cowboy Maloney Series is being sponsored by Cowboy Maloney's Electric City Superstores.  Con Maloney, son of the late Cowboy Maloney and owner of Cowboy Maloney's Electric City, has commissioned local artist, Rick Craft, to sculpt the Maloney Trophy, which will be permanently displayed in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.  An identical trophy will be given to the winning institution each year.
