JACKSON- Savannah Havard hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the sixth and the Majors came back to beat the rival Mississippi College Choctaws 3-2 on Wednesday.

This was a very well-pitched, well played game by both teams. The Choctaws took advantage of one mis-step by the Majors defense that played lights out all game long. Mississippi College scored a fielder's choice and an error to go ahead 2-0 in the first.

That was all for the Choctaw offense for the rest of the evening. Molly Tyner and Katie Birdwell combined for six innings of shutout softball, and allowed just five hits on the evening while striking out eight between the two.

The Majors got things going in the fifth when Sierrah Martinez singled for the second time in the game, scoring Abbie Joiner from second to make it 2-1.

Havard came up in the sixth with a runner on and crushed a pitch that fought through the blowing in wind and cleared the left field wall. That made it 3-2 Majors. Birdwell pitched a scoreless seventh to get the win.

The victory evens the Majors record at 10-10 on the year as they travel to Rome, Georgia for a four game set with the Berry Vikings this Saturday and Sunday.
