Majors Fall to Methodist 10-5, End Tournament Run

ATLANTA, Ga. - The fifth seeded Millsaps Majors' fastpitch softball team was tripped by second seeded Methodist (NC) College 10-5 Saturday afternoon in an elimination game in the NCAA Division III Softball Atlantic Region Tournament at Emory University.

The Majors end their record setting season with a mark of 28-11 after going 2-2 in their first-ever NCAA regional tournament. The two wins were the first-ever victories for a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference softball team in the NCAA championships.

Millsaps scored five runs off eleven hits against Methodist, and Barbara Balla, Naffie Mooney, and Anny Guthrie each collected an RBI for the Majors.

Pitcher Danielle Cross allowed 13 hits in 7 innings of work, but allowed just three earned runs. A season-high seven errors committed by Millsaps contributed to seven Methodist tallies.
