MAJORS SWEEP HAWKS AND GORLOCKS

JACKSON, MS- The Majors improved to 6-0 as they swept away a split double header against the Huntingdon Hawks and Webster Gorlocks on Saturday. 

The Majors defeated Huntingdon 5-1 and Webster 9-5 on Saturday as Danielle Faucheux moved to 4-0 and Cassidy DeNoon improved to 2-0 on the season. 

Against the Hawks, Faucheux scrapped her way to a complete game, allowing five hits and side-stepping four walks while striking out three. 

Offensively, Rayner LeBlanc kept her hot bat going, knocking out four hits in four trips to the plate while driving in a run and scoring one more. 

Millsaps struck first, scoring two in the second inning. The Majors made the Hawks pay for a key error that directly led to a run and allowed LeBlanc to knock in the second run of the inning with the second of her four hits. They added insurance in the fifth inning, loading the bases and scoring off a hit batter and a walk. Megan Murray would double home a run in the sixth to cap the Majors' game-one offense. 

Game Two Box

In game two, Millsaps overcame four errors and five un-earned runs as they pounded out 15 hits in a 9-5 victory. 

The middle of the order for the Majors did the damage in game two. Megan Murray went 3-3 with two runs scored and Rayne Gravat went 4-5 with three runs scored and a run batted in. 

Millsaps overcame a 2-0 Webster lead when Sarah Scales singled through the right side with the bases load to drive in two of her three runs of the game, giving Millsaps a 3-2 lead and was part of a three-run third. Three more crossed the plate in the fourth when the Majors made the Gorlocks pay for an error and a bases loaded walk. 

Cassidy DeNoon got the win in game two, allowing nine hits and five unearned runs in her complete game. The freshman struck out six against two walks.
