JACKSON, Miss. – The Millsaps Majors split again today with Trinity University, dropping game one 3-2 in eight innings before winning game two 6-4 in regulation.

The Majors (13-19, 8-4 SCAC) got on the board first in game one. Katie Birdwell walked to lead the inning and was brought home two batters later by Allyson Christian's single to left. Megan Yglesias drove in Christian before the Tigers (14-22, 6-6 SCAC) could get out of the inning with her own single to left.

Molly Tyner held the Tigers to just one run until the top of the seventh, but they got the tying run on base thanks to an error by Jade Hewitt. The Tigers followed the miscue with two attempts to bunt the runner over, but in both cases they landed on base themselves with infield bunt singles.

With the bases loaded and no outs Megan Russell drove in the tying run from third with a single to right. The throw came in from Allison Tarbox who caught Rachel Garrett with a solid throw to the plate and she was tagged by Jade Hewitt at third for the first out.

Tyner got out of the jam by striking out Kaleigh Kinlaw and getting Brooke Sanchez to ground out back up the middle to end the inning. The Majors went quietly in the home half of the seventh. The Tigers then got the winning run in the top of the eighth after Chrissy Armstrong got on following another Major error. She scored three batters later on a fielder's choice by Rachel Garrett to give the Tigers the 3-2 win.

Millsaps wasted no time in game two, getting two runs in the bottom of the first to grab the early lead. Caroline Thompson scored on a passed ball and Sam Wursteisen was brought home with a Emily Spicer single to center to put Millsaps up 2-0.

Trinity got the two back in the top of the second off three hits and took the lead with two more in the fourth off three hits. Just when it looked like the Majors would have to settle for one-out-of-four this weekend the offense came alive in the bottom of the fifth.

With two outs and nobody on in the inning, Caroline Thompson got things going with a single past the shortstop to put a runner on. Sam Wursteisen drew a walk to join Thompson on the bases before Emily Spicer got the second hit of the inning to short to load the bases for Megan Yglesias. Yglesias put the Majors on top with one swing, sending the ball deep to center for the game-winning grand slam.

Lindsay Drane got the Tigers in order in the sixth and seventh to secure the win, 6-4.

The Majors will play one more game at Millsaps Field this season, a makeup game with the Mississippi College that was rained out back in March. The Choctaws will help the Majors close out the home schedule this Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.
