JACKSON -- Playing its final two home games of the season on Tuesday afternoon, host Millsaps fell in the opener 8-0 behind a two-hit shutout from MS College's Whitney Warner but rebounded with a convincing 11-3 victory in the finale behind a pair of home runs from \#Jennifer McKinley\# and \#Allison Tarbox\# to earn a split.

MS College (12-17) took advantage of a six-run first inning to win Game 1 in a shortened, six innings, using outstanding pitching and capitalizing off five Major errors.  

Millsaps starter \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# was chased after just 2/3 innings after surrendering all six runs (two earned) with \#Amanda Bintz\# tossing the final 5 1/3 and allowing two runs while striking out three.

MC would add single runs in the second and sixth to make the final 8-0.

The Lady Choctaws' 7-through-9 hitters combined to go 6-for-9 with three runs scored and a pair of RBIs as the team racked up 13 hits to the Majors' two.  \#Tiffany Ladnier\# and McKinley had the two hits for Millsaps.

In the finale, the Majors' bats came alive, as they pounded out 13 hits and 11 runs to earn the much needed split in six innings and snap a five-game losing streak.

After a scorless first inning, Millsaps pushed a pair across the plate in the second behind \#Jade Hewitt\#'s RBI-single and \#Jenny Laird\#'s RBI-double down the leftfield line.  They would pile on four more in the third to take a commanding 6-0 lead, sending 10 batters to the plate and scoring them off a pair of RBI-singles from \#Erica Douglas\# and \#Katherine Nicholas\# and an RBI-double from McKinley.

\#Brittney McAllister\# allowed just two hits the first five innings and didn't surrender a run but MS College put together a three-run rally in the sixth to cut the lead in half at 6-3.  After loading the bases with two outs, Jamie Benett delivered a bases clearing double to right-center on the first pitch she saw.

Millsaps, however, delivered the knockout punch in the bottom half of the sixth, scoring five runs to secure the win.  After back-to-back singles from Douglas and Ladnier to start the inning, McKinley blasted her third home run of the year to left.  Then, two batters later after a Thibodeaux hit-by-pitch, Tarbox homered to right-center to close it out.

The Majors will close out the regular season this weekend at Sewanee-U of the South (0-18, 0-11 SCAC), playing a four-game series on Saturday and Sunday.
