MAJORS DOWNED BY HAWKS

MONTGOMERY- The Millsaps Majors dropped two tough games on Tuesday to the Huntingdon Hawks, falling 5-4 and 7-5. 

In game one, Kaitlyn Doles had three hits and a run scored to pace the Majors offense. Millsaps would tie the game at one in the second as Emily Collins would come into score off a ground out by Savannah Havard. 

Collins and Caroline Thompson had back-to-back singles to score a pair of runs and pull the Majors with one at 4-3. Tiffany Havard would single home Doles in the seventh as the Majors pulled within one at 5-4. The Majors couldn't put across the tying run and fell 5-4. Molly Tyner pitched well but got the loss, going the distance and scattering eight hits over six innings. 

In game two, the Majors would score a pair in the fourth inning to break a scoreless tie. Emily Collins would help her own cause, reaching on an error by the pitcher off a sacrifice bunt. The errant throw would bring home Darlynda Wilson and Julie Underwood. 

Collins would run into trouble in the sixth, as Huntingdon erupted for six runs to grab a 7-3 lead. The Majors however, would not go quietly. The Havard sisters would team up for a ground rule double by Savannah to score Doles and a two-run shot by Tiffany to bring the Majors to within two at 7-5. Katie Birdwell would get to second, bringing the tying run to the plate, but the Majors would get no closer. 

The Majors sit at 8-7 on the season and 2-2 in conference play. They will welcome in the Rhodes Lynx this weekend for a pair of double headers. First pitches on Saturday are set for 1 and 3 and 12 and 2 on Sunday.
