JACKSON -- Junior \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# hit solo home runs in both games of a doubleheader en route to a 4-for-5 afternoon with three RBIs but it wasn't enough as 16th-ranked DePauw University completed a four-game series sweep with 5-3 and 10-2 victories on Sunday afternoon.

Millsaps (7-12, 0-4 SCAC) took an early 2-0 lead in the opening game of the day by plating both runs in the first inning, getting back-to-back RBI-doubles from \#Jennifer McKinley\# and Thibodeaux, sandwiched between a lineout to short.

The Majors held onto their lead until the fifth inning, when DePauw sent the tying two runs across the plate (unearned) behind two Millsaps miscues.  Carolyn Bartlett scored off an error from short, while Chelsy Patterson scored off a passed ball.  Both players reached base safely by way of a single and double.

DePauw (10-2, 4-0 SCAC) added three more runs in its half of the sixth to take their first lead at 5-2, sending seven batters to the plate and scoring them off four hits and an error.  The Tigers got the go-ahead run when Bartlett reached base safely on an error and scored Jennifer Kosinski after a leadoff double.  They would add the final two runs off a two-out, two-RBI double from Patterson to right-center.

Thibodeaux's solo home run off All-American Megan Soultz to leadoff the sixth cut the gap to 5-3 but that's as close as the Majors would get the rest of the way as they managed just two baserunners the final six outs.

Soultz grabbed the win in a complete-game performance, while \#Lindsay Drane\# was tagged with the loss after surrendering three runs (all unearned) in just 0.2 innings of work.

Senior \#Tiffany Ladnier\# led the Majors' offensive attack with a 3-for-4 outing, while McKinley, Thibodeaux and \#Amanda Berry\# each picked up hits.  Patterson was also 3-for-4 for DePauw with two RBIs.

In the nightcap, DePauw clung to a 2-1 lead into the fifth inning before scoring eight runs over the final three frames, including a five-run fifth, to earn a 10-2 victory.

Thibodeaux hit her second long ball in as many games for Millsaps but was overshadowed by three hits from DePauw's Brianne Weeks and two apiece from Patterson, Bartlett and All-American catcher Rachel Gill.

Millsaps will take the next week off from competition before welcoming Centre College (4-8, 0-0 SCAC) to town March 28-29 for its final conference home weekend.  Live stats will be available for all four games.
