JACKSON -- Millsaps won its first two games of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference season on Saturday afternoon, defeating Centre College 15-1 (5) and 3-2 (8) as part of a Senior Day doubleheader to move to 9-12 overall.

Sophomore \#Laura Litton\# helped lead the Majors' offensive attack with a 4-for-6 day, while four of her teammates picked up three hits or more, including \#Jennifer McKinley\# with an afternoon-high four RBIs.

In the opening game, 12 runs in the first two innings off 11 hits and a pair of Centre errors put Millsaps comfortably ahead en route to cruising to a 15-1, run-rule win in five.

In addition to a pair of triples from senior \#Erica Douglas\#, six Majors posted multi-hit games, while \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# tossed a five-hit ballgame and allowed only one run (unearned) to earn the win in the circle.

The Majors had to fight their way to an extra-inning win in the nightcap, getting the winning run in the eighth thanks to a hard hit ball from \#Amanda Berry\# deep on the left side of the infield. An error from the Colonel shortstop, after knocking the ball down, allowed \#Karoline Kremers\# to round third for the winner. 

Millsaps took a 2-0 lead in the second thanks to back-to-back, two-out, two-RBI-doubles from \#Morgan Ladner\# and Litton just to see Centre tie the game at 2-2 in its ensuing at-bat in the third.

The Colonels put the first two runners on base by way of infield singles before Regina Sena's sac bunt moved them over a base with one down.  Rebecca Rhule followed with Centre's first RBI a batter later, reaching base on a throwing error, while Taylor Childress knotted it up with a well-executed squeeze bunt to third.

The teams stayed tied the ensuing four innings to force extra frames, as both \#Brittney McAllister\# and Centre hurler Jess Jowers did a nice job in the circle in scattering a combined seven hits.

Millsaps, however, rallied for back-to-back-to-back singles in its half of the eighth with two outs to plate the winning run from second and earn the twinbill sweep.

The Majors will close out their eight-game homestand tomorrow with the final two games of a four-game season series with Centre, with first pitch slated for 11:00 a.m.  Live stats will be available.
