MAJORS DOWNED BY COLONELS

DANVILLE, KY-The Millsaps Majors dropped two tough games to the Centre Colonels on Saturday, falling 11-3 and 5-4.

In game one, Caroline Thompson had a pair of hits and stolen bases but it would not be enough. Thompson reached base all three times and brought home the first run of the game when her ground ball scored Logan Dukes and Tiffany Havard. Abbie Joiner would single a batter later, scoring Sierrah Martinez. 

However, the Majors couldn't overcome the long ball. Centre belted a pair of home runs, including a grand slam to get the win. 

In game two, the Majors fell 5-4 to the Colonels.  It would be the Majors that struck first in the nightcap, when Katie Birdwell scored on a Tiffany Havard single. Thompson would score the Majors' second run of the game coming into score on an error after turning a single into a triple thanks to a steal and a wild pitch. 

Savannah Havard would single home Kaitlyn Doles in the fifth inning. In the seventh, the Majors again would begin to mount a comeback. Down 5-3, the Majors sparked a two out rally. Darlynda Wilson would single home Logan Dukes and move the tying run to third. However, the Majors could not bring Emily Collins home and fell 5-4. 

The Majors now sit at 12-16 overall and 5-11 in conference. They have a rare non-conference weekend matchup this upcoming weekend as Lousiana College comes in for a Friday twin-bill. First pitch from Jackson is set for 1:30 pm.
