MAJORS EARN KEY SWEEP OF CENTRE

DANVILLE, KY- Millsaps picked up two big conference wins on Saturday, knocking off Centre 3-2 and 8-0 to start the Majors' final conference series of the season. 

In game one, the two teams did all their scoring in the fifth inning. Neither team threatened until the fifth inning, with the Majors not collecting a hit until the fifth and Centre not getting a runner past second. 

In the fifth Cassidy Hendrix singled Katelyn Murray to second after Murray was hit by a pitch. Kaitlyn Casias then singled home Murray and Hendrix scored on an error by the center fielder. Rayner LeBlanc followed up with a single as Millsaps grabbed a 3-0 lead. 

Centre would answer with two runs of their own on a double by Jessika Young. Danielle Faucheux worked her way out of trouble in the fifth and put herself in line for the win. Cassidy DeNoon came in and worked out of a jam in the sixth and pitched a quiet seventh to earn the save. 

In game two, the Majors jumped out early en route to a 8-0 win. In the first, the Majors struck for three runs on four hits. The big blow was a two-run double from Katelyn Murray. In the second, it was a Megan Murray double that scored two more runs for the Majors as they made the Colonels pay for a one-out error. 

That would be enough for Cassidy DeNoon. The freshman went the first four innings, allowing just three hits and striking out four. Faucheux worked the final two innings, throwing a hitless fifth and sixth. 

The Majors put the run rule into effect in the sixth as Katelyn Murray doubled home two more runs as part of a three-run frame.

The wins move Millsaps to 16-10 overall and 9-10 in the SAA. The two teams will play two more on Sunday, first pitch is set for 11AM central.
