Choctaws take two on Majors home opener

The Mississippi College Choctaws (2-0, 0-0) softball team took both games from the Millsaps Majors (0-2, 0-0) Friday in Jackson.

The Majors took an early lead in game one from a Kylie Kurtz single that scored Naffie Mooney, but in the fourth the Choctaws Anna Lisa Posey drove in two runners and the Chocs led after the inning 3-1.

The Choctaws Wendy McMillian had three RBIs in the seventh when she singled home three Choctaws. An error on the leftfielder allowed the last two runners to score.

Mooney and Crystal Bender finished 2-3 each in game one. Kati Fleming took the loss for the Majors and Katie Perry got the win for MC.

Game two was tied at 1-1 entering the fifth before McMillan singled and later scored on an error. But the Majors picked up a run of their own when Josie Manley hit a two-run homerun to left centerfield scoring Bender.

Manley drove in Bender in the third inning, after a Bender bunt single, when Manley hit a line drive to left centerfield. The Majors led 3-2 after five innings.

Katie Taylor would score in the sixth off a Majors error, tying the game at three.

Kathleen Hobbs led off the top of the ninth inning for the Chocs when she reached on a error. She would later score when Alisha Farrish hit a sacrifice fly to left field giving the Choctaws a 4-3 advantage.

Bender led off the bottom of the ninth with a single to right field and Renee Green moved her to second on a pop-up to the catcher. But Manley could not drive Bender in and the Majors lost 4-3.

Tammy Ladner was the losing pitcher and Kayla Watkins got the win for MC.
