Majors drop split double header at Mississippi College

CLINTON, Miss. - The Millsaps softball team dropped a pair of games today at Mississippi College.

The Majors fell 15-5 to the homestanding Choctaws in game one. Mississippi College jumped on the Majors early, scoring eight runs before the Majors could get anything going on offense.

Caroline Thompson scored in the third inning after a single to right on an Allison Tarbox double two batters later. The Choctaws scored four more in the bottom half of the third before Jade Hewitt scored the Majors' second run in the fourth on a fielder's choice from Sam Wursteisen.

Millsaps managed to add three runs in the top of the fifth. Allyson Christian scored on an error before Catherine Henry plated Tarbox and Katie Birdwell with a double to left.

In game two, the Majors scored first in the top of the third, but couldn't hold on as Webster College got two in the bottom of the sixth for the 2-1 win.

Emily Spicer got the Millsaps offense going with a single to left with two gone in the third. She then stole second to get in position for Allyson Christian to double her home from third two batters later.

The Majors will have another opportunity to get one back from both MC and Webster tomorrow afternoon. Due to weather conditions the games will be played at the Freedom Ridge Softball Complex in Ridgeland. Game times are still 11:00 a.m. against Webster and 3:00 p.m. against MC.  MC and Webster will play between at 1:00 p.m.
