LaGRANGE, Ga. -- Behind juniors Brittney McAllister and Kasey Thibodeux in the circle and solid defense, the Millsaps softball team swept all four games on its Georgia road swing over the weekend to improve to 4-7 on the season.
Millsaps opened the weekend with a pair of shutout victories at Wesleyan College, 7-0, 8-0, on Friday to get things started off right and then followed with 5-2 and 15-0 wins on Saturday to complete the road trip unscathed.
Against the Panthers on Saturday in Game 1, Millsaps used a three-run fourth inning to break open a scoreless tie, using a leadoff double from \#Karoline Kremers\#, followed three batters later by a two-RBI double from freshman \#Jade Hewitt\#.
LaGrange threatened to take its first lead of the game with two runs in its half of the fourth that cut the gap to 3-2 but stranded the bases loaded to end the inning.
The Majors tacked on single runs in the fifth on a Kremers RBI-double and another in the seventh off an RBI-single from \#Allison Tarbox\# to make the final margin 5-2.
McAllister earned her second victory in as many days in 4.0 innings of work, scattering two hits and two runs before \#Amanda Bintz\# closed out the final three innings for her first save as a Major.
In the nightcap, that was delayed two hours due to no umpires, Millsaps pounded out a season-high 17 hits and 15 runs for a 15-0 run-rule win in five innings.
Every Major in the lineup recorded at least one hit, led by senior \#Erica Douglas\# with a career-high 4-for-5 day and Kremers with a game-high four RBIs off her second career grand-slam as part of a seven-run fifth inning.
Thibodeaux went the distance in the circle with a three-hit shutout -- her second in as many days -- to stretch the Majors' season-long winning streak to four games.
Millsaps will return home on Monday afternoon for a rare non-conference doubleheader against MacMurray College (Ill.), with first pitch set for 1 p.m.
