Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Jackson, MS - The Millsaps Softball Team began their season with an Opening Day double-header against Louisiana College.

The Majors and Wildcats split the two games with Louisiana College winning the first 4-0 and Millsaps winning the second 9-5. Majors' starting pitcher Cassidy DeNoon pitched all 14 innings of today's action, as she - along with the Majors, move to 1-1 on the early year.

Louisiana College's starting pitcher, Savannah Settle earned the win, as she pitched all seven innings for the Wildcats.

Louisiana College won the first game by scoring a run in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. The second game, however, proved to be a much higher scoring - and more favorable contest for the Majors.

The Millsaps defense began the second game fast with a quick three-up, three-down in top of the first. From there, leadoff hitter Missy Romero singled to center field to get things started for the Majors. A Hannah Doggett RBI double scored Romero and gave the Majors their first lead of the day.

Trailing 1-0, the Wildcats answered in the second inning with five runs. The five runs on four hits and multiple RBIs gave Louisiana College their first and only lead of the game.

Following the top of the second inning, the Majors answered with an emphatic eight unanswered runs. The comeback would not take long to start either.

In the bottom of the second Missy Romero scored Mary Kate Bozeman on a double to left field. From there, Rayne Gravat doubled down the right field line to score two more Majors. The tying run was scored on a Megan Murray ground out to the shortstop, which sent Hannah Doggett home. A Sarah Scales single would retake the lead for Millsaps with the score at 6-5.

After the five run second inning, Cassidy DeNoon and the Majors never allowed another run. DeNoon only allowed two hits in the final five innings, as the Majors added three insurance runs to secure the first win of the season.

Additionally, first year Head Coach Erin Clary gets her first win with the Majors with the 9-5 victory today as well.

Hannah Doggett, Megan Murray and Katelyn Murray all went 2-3 in today's second game while Sarah Scales finished 2-4. Rayne Gravat went 3-4 with two RBIs and Missy Romero finished 3-5 with an RBI. Katelyn Murray also totaled two RBIs for Millsaps.
