JACKSON, Tenn. --- #19 Mississippi College did not flinch one bit after falling behind 1-0 in this weekend's three game series with Union on the road, as the Lady Choctaws handled business in games two and three with 22 combined runs in an 11-1 and 11-8 win over the Lady Bulldogs on Saturday.
The Lady Choctaws utilized the long ball in both games, combining to hit seven home runs across the doubleheader, with
Kamryn Eaton collecting three home runs,
McCall Lee having two, and
Jordan LaFosse and
Jordan Moore each tallying one home run each.
In game one, trailing 1-0 after the first inning, Eaton sent a two run home run over the centerfield wall, driving in
Shelby Samples, to give MC the 2-1 lead.
The next inning,
McCall Lee homered with
Brooke Fagan on base, as MC extended their lead to 4-1. Two batters later,
Jordan Moore added a solo home run, as the Lady Choctaws closed out the third inning leading 5-1.
After a two RBI single by
Alexis Laughlin in the fourth,
McCall Lee connected on her second home run of the game to take a 10-1 advantage.
Caylee Comer collected an RBI in the fifth inning, as MC went on to win game one by a final of 11-1. The Lady Choctaws had 12 hits in the win, as
Camryn Bailey picked up her 18th win in the circle, surrendering just five hits, one run, and two strikeouts.
In game two, MC jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning, after a throwing error allowed
Alexis Laughlin to cross the plate. In the second inning,
Jordan LaFosse homered to left field, pushing MC out to a 2-0 lead.
Two batters later,
Kamryn Eaton hit her second home run of the day to left center, scoring
Shelby Samples, to put MC up 4-0 after two innings. Ahead 4-1, Eaton connected on her third home run of the day, a two run shot to centerfield. With the HR, the Lady Choctaws extended their lead to five runs, 6-1.
With the help of RBI singles by
Brooke Fagan,
Jordan Moore, and
Jordan LaFosse in the sixth inning, and a fielding error, MC sent five runs to the plate in the inning to go ahead 11-3. Union scored five runs over the next two innings, yet it was the Lady Choctaws that went on to win by a final of 11-8 in game two, clinching their sixth straight GSC series.
Barnett picked up the win in the circle, her seventh of the year, going the full 7.0 innings. The Lady Choctaws collected eight hits as a unit, on their way to improving to 28-7 overall and 16-5 in GSC play.
Eaton's three home run day put her tied for second all-time in home runs for a singles season with 13 along with former Lady Choctaw, Ty Buckley (
2016, 13 HR's) and one shy of Brianna Caldwell's 14 home run season in 2018.
MC returns to action on Wednesday at home versus Spring Hill College in doubleheader action beginning at 2 p.m. at the MC Softball Complex in Clinton, Miss.
