JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors stayed perfect at home with a blowout of Webster and a late-inning comeback against Centenary on Sunday.
In game one, the Majors pounded out 12 hits and used a six run sixth to to pull away from Webster and win 11-4. The Majors again used a balanced offense to knock off Webster for the second time in two days. Four different players had multi-hit games and Megan Yglesias drove in four runs in the win. Savannah and Tiffany Havard had back-to-back rbi singles and Katie Birdwell followed with an rbi single to help in the attack. Birdwell and Molly Tyner combined to shutdown the Gorlocks and get the win. The Majors improved to 5-3 on the season with the win in game one.
In game two, the Majors used a five run seventh inning to come back to top Centenary 7-6 in dramatic fashion. The Majors fell behind 6-0 after the top half of the third inning. The Majors would begin their comeback in the bottom half of the inning. Yglesias doubled home Caroline Thompson and Katie Birdwell got hit by a pitch to drive in another run.
The Majors began their seventh inning heroics with a solo shot by Yglesias. Tiffany and Savannah Havard each reached base and Birdwell and Emily Collins each singled home runs. That set up Kaitlyn Doles who singled home Collins and Birdwell to cap off the comeback.
Collins got the win after scattering nine hits over seven innings. Collins allowed three earned runs and struck out five. The Majors improve to 6-3 on the season and capped off a 4-0 home weekend.
Millsaps will open up conference play next weekend as they travel to Birmingham to take on the Panthers. The Majors and Panthers will play a pair of double headers with first pitches at 12 and 2 both Saturday and Sunday.
