JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors swept through day one of the Millsaps Invitational defeating Webster and Centenary.
The Majors used a four run sixth inning to comeback and take game one on Saturday 5-3 over the Webster Gorlocks.
The Majors capitalized on a wild pitch, a pair of singles and a sac fly to storm back in the sixth inning. Game one was a total team effort. Six different Majors recording a hit, four different Majors drove in a run and five different Majors scored.
The balanced offense helped aid Emily Collins (box score misprint on pitching line) who went the distance to get the win. Collins allowed eight hits and two earned runs while striking out five in the victory. With the win, the Majors got back to 500 at 3-3.
They would go over the 500 mark with a 15-1 rout of Centenary in game two on Saturday. The Majors wasted no time, hanging a six-spot on the board in the bottom of the first to set the tone. Emily Collins and Kaitlyn Doles each drove in two with singles in the first.
The Majors would keep pouring it on, making it 10-1 after three innings. They put the final touches on the win with a 5-run fourth inning. Four different Majors drove in runs in the inning. Again, it was a balanced effort with five different Majors had multi-rbi and run scoring games.
Molly Tyner was masterful on the afternoon, throwing a complete game three-hitter. Tyner allowed one unearned run and struck out five.
The Majors will take on the same two teams tomorrow with games at 12 and 2.
