MAJORS GRAB GAME ONE FROM WARRIORS

CONWAY, AR- The Millsaps Majors moved to 8-0 on the season and picked up their first conference win of the year in a 9-6 comeback triumph over the Hendrix Warriors on Saturday. 

The Majors scored four times in the seventh inning to erase a 6-5 Warrior lead and allowed Blakeli Entremont to move to 5-0 on the season after she picked up the win in relief. 

The Majors struck first, in a big way, scoring five times with two outs in the second. After a double play, the Majors got singles from Tiffany Havard, Hannah Doggett and Casey Brown to load the bases. Caroline Thompson got a painful run batted in after being hit by a pitch to force in a run. Doubles by Abbie Joiner and Rayne Gravat brought in four runs as the Majors took a 5-0 lead. 

After a solo tally in the third, the Warriors answered the Majors' five-run inning with one of their own. Hendrix also put up the crooked number with two outs, using two hit batters, a single a walk and a bases clearing double to give Hendrix the lead and chase starter Molly Tyner. 

Each team went quietly in the fifth and the sixth, putting the Majors into a do-or-die seventh. They answered the call with three straight singles to start the inning and load the bases. Doggett singled to tie the game, bringing home Megan Murray. A double play and a walk set up Joiner to deliver a clutch bases clearing double to give the Majors the lead at 9-6. 

The Warriors would put two on in the seventh, but a double play ended the threat and the game. The win moved the Majors to 8-0 on the year and 1-0 in conference.
