After winning the Southern Athletic Association regular season and conference tournament, the Millsaps Majors set their sights on a bigger prize: a regional title and a shot at the Division III NCAA College World Series.

The South Regional is a six-team double elimination tournament that began on Wednesday, May 15. The Majors defeated the Bridgewater Eagles in a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday, and lost to the Salisbury Sea Gulls 11-5 on Thursday. The Majors won 8-2 against the Methodist Monarchs in Friday afternoon's elimination game, and took out Salisbury 7-0 Friday evening. On Saturday, Millsaps took on Salisbury once again and came away with a nail-biting 7-6 win against the Gulls, earning a first-ever shot at the NCAA College World Series.

The D-III World Series interactive bracket has been released, and the Majors will face the Southern Maine Huskies, champions of the Harwich regional. Game one is set for 10 a.m. CST on Friday morning. Video and complete coverage are being provided by Turner Sports through the NCAA Division-III website.

With a population under 500,000, Jackson is small enough to feel like a close-knit community, but big enough to host abundant choices in entertainment, dining, shopping, and more.

Just outside the campus of Millsaps, there's plenty to see and do in Jackson, whether you choose the creative Fondren business and entertainment district to the north, the resurgent Midtown community to the west, the charming, historic Belhaven neighborhood to the east, or the city's vibrant downtown south of campus.

"Jackson has been integral to my learning experience at Millsaps," said senior Allie Jordan. "The greater Jackson community has been a main element to several of my classes, such as the Midtown area neighboring Millsaps. Jackson has provided me with excellent entertainment as well as ways for me to grow as an academic."
