Soultz, DePauw Down Millsaps in Saturday Twinbill

• Game 1 Box
• Game 2 Box

JACKSON
-- Junior All-American Megan Soultz of DePauw scattered just seven hits in 11.0 innings of work for a pair of wins in the circle and four players had four hits apiece as the 16th-ranked Tigers won their 20th consecutive regular season conference game in a doubleheader sweep of Millsaps on Saturday afternoon.

DePauw (8-2, 2-0 SCAC) rebounded from a pair of losses over the weekend with a strong offensive outing, pounding out 26 hits and 13 runs in the two games while holding Millsaps (7-10, 0-2 SCAC) to just four hits in each game.  The Majors also helped the Tigers out with five errors on the day.

Senior outfielder \#Tiffany Ladnier\# provided four of the Majors' eight hits, grabbing two in each game.  Behind Ladnier, \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# had a pair of hits and \#Jennifer McKinley\# and \#Jade Hewitt\# each added one.

Soultz was in a groove in the circle and didn't allow a run while striking out five, while junior Kristin Barrow tossed 3.0 innings in relief and allowed just one hit.  Thibodeaux was tagged with the loss in Game 1, while \#Brittney McAllister\# was the loser in Game 2.

In the conference-opener, DePauw took a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to a Jennifer Kosinski two-out, two-RBI double to right and added four more in the fourth to take complete control.  Single runs in the fifth and seventh closed out an 8-0 win behind 14 hits.

In the nightcap, Millsaps fell behind 4-0 after two innings but settled in behind transfer Amanda Bintz to play a pretty solid defensive game the final four.  Bintz relieved McAllister in the fourth and allowed five hits and just one run to keep the Majors in the hunt but couldn't get any support on the scoreboard.

Millsaps and DePauw will wrap their season series tomorrow with first pitch set for 11 a.m.
