THOMPSON REACHES MILESTONE BUT MAJORS FALL TO CHOCTAWS

CLINTON, MS- Caroline Thompson got her 200th career hit on Wednesday in the Majors' 7-2 loss to the Mississippi College Choctaws. 

Thompson's single in the third inning marked her 200th hit as she became the first Major in history to reach the milestone. She would later triple to mark hit 201 as she went 2-4 on the day. 

The Choctaws took the lead in the first inning, getting a two-run single from Brooke Smitherman to take a 2-0 lead. 

It would stay 2-0 into the fifth innning where the Choctaws scored five times to break the game open. Mississippi College got rbis off of a walk, hit batter, double and single in the inning to take a 7-0 lead. 

The Majors would break through in the sixth inning on a single by Katelyn Murray. The ball was misplayed by the left fielder, allowing for Rayne Gravat to come into score. Gravat would strike again an inning later, driving home Abbie Joiner with a base hit. The Majors pounded out 11 hits on Wednesday as four Majors had multi-hit games. However, they left 10 on base including at least one in each of the seven innings. 

Danielle Faucheux took the tough loss, getting the start and going the first three innings. The freshman allowed two hits, two runs and struck out two. Millsaps now sits at 19-11 on the season and they will travel to Sewanee to wrap up the regular season this weekend. First pitch for Friday's double header is set for 1pm.
