MAJORS SWEEP WOLVES

JACKSON, MS- Danielle Faucheux pitched two complete games and helped the Majors sweep the Wesleyan (GA) Wolves 10-2 and 2-0 on Saturday in the season opener for both teams. 

In game one, the Majors put a five spot up in the fifth inning to enforce the run rule. Rayner LeBlanc led the offense going 2-3 with two runs scored and a run batted in. Millsaps got RBIs from seven different Majors in support of Faucheux. The sophomore went the full five innings, allowing two runs on four hits, walking four and striking out five. 

Millsaps took advantage of a bases load walk and an error to scratch across a pair of runs. Missy Romero had a two-run triple to highlight a three-run third as the Majors built a 5-0 lead. In the fifth, Kathryn Romero hit a two-run triple, highlighting a five-hit inning as the Majors closed out game one. 

Faucheux was dominant in game two, tossing a two-hit shutout while striking out six. The Majors scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull out a 2-0 win. Millsaps pounded out eight hits and Wesleyan committed six errors but the Majors could not take advantage for much of the game, leaving nine on base. 

Freshman Sarah Scales singled through a drawn in infield with the bases load in the sixth inning to score the game-winning runs. The Majors loaded the bases thanks to a hit batter, error and a single.

Faucheux worked around an error in the top of the seventh and forced a double play to grab her second win of the day and the season. 

The Majors now sit at 2-0 on the season. They will travel to the University of Dallas and Centenary for a pair of double headers. First up are the Dallas Crusaders on Saturday.
