MAJORS SEND SENIORS OUT WITH WIN

JACKSON- The Millsaps softball team closed out the regular season with a split against the Hendrix Warriors falling in game one 11-1 and winning game two 12-10. 

In game one, Hendrix scored 11 unanswered to close out the Majors in five innings. Caroline Thompson scored the Majors' run coming home on a groundout by Kaitlyn Doles after doubling in the first inning. 

The Warriors scored five in the second, four in the third and two more in the fifth off of Molly Tyner and Katie Birdwell in the victory. 

The Majors were determined to get a split of a crucial double headed and did so in a wild 12-10 win in the nightcap. 

The Majors put up three in the first on run scoring hits by Savannah Havard and Tiffany Havard. The Warriors would counter, scoring six unanswered runs to take a 6-3 lead, capitalizing on a couple of Majors' errors. 

Millsaps then erupted for nine runs in the fourth inning. Abbie Joiner, Katie Birdwell, Logan Dukes and Caroline Thompson all had hits that scored two runs each. Savannah Havard added a run scoring single of her own to make it 12-6 in favor of the Majors.

The Majors were able to hold off a Warrior comeback after Hendrix scored four times in the sixth. Logan Dukes turned a double play in the seventh to quiet any Warrior noise in the seventh. 

Emily Collins picked up the win on her senior day. She went the distance and despite allowing 10 runs, only four were earned. 

The Majors close out the regular season at 20-19 and 11-13 in conference. They will await the fallout of the other games around the SAA to determine seeding in next weekend's champion ship at Centre. 

After the game the team honored seniors Emily Collins and Megan Yglesias. Collins is 12-13 in her Majors' career over 155 innings she has a 3.20 ERA. Yglesias played in 116 games as a Major, hitting .378 with 19 home runs, 31 doubles and 119 runs batted in.
