SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Millsaps College softball team recorded 29 runs on 24 hits in a doubleheader sweep of SCAC foe Trinity University on Saturday afternoon by run-rule scores of 14-0 and 15-3 in five innings.

The Majors jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when \#Emily Spicer\# led the inning with a double before being brought home on a double by \#Jennifer McKinley\#.

McKinley singled home two more runners in the third inning as Millsaps opened a 3-0 lead before exploding for eight runs in the fourth.

Doubles by \#Laura Litton\# and Spicer brought three runners across the plate to begin the inning.

After \#Megan Yglesias\# walked with the bases loaded, \#Jade Hewitt\# brought home two more with a single up the middle.

A three-run home run by McKinley, her SCAC-leading ninth of the season, closed the opening game in favor of the Majors in the fifth inning as starter \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# pitched a complete game shutout.

Thibodeaux scattered three hits in five innings while striking out five to limit the Tigers' attack.

With her six RBIs in the game, McKinley claimed the league-lead in that category with 26 on the year.

The Majors opened game two right where they left off in the first game scoring four runs in the top of the first to take an early 4-0 lead.

After the first three batters reached to load the bases, Yglesias doubled to left center to clear the bases before scoring on a wild pitch later in the inning.

Millsaps added one in the second and broke the game wide open with eight runs in the fourth for a comfortable 13-0 advantage.

Trinity got on the scoreboard for the first time on the day with a run in the bottom of the fourth and scored two in the bottom of the fifth but it was not enough as the Majors claimed the victory by way of the mercy rule, 15-3.

Thibodeaux, now 7-6, earned the victory pitching three innings in relief of \#Brooke Lee\# while \#Brittney McAllister\# pitched the final inning.

Helping her cause, Thibodeaux recorded four RBIs in the second game while blasting her first home run of the season and Yglesias also had four RBIs to lead the Majors offensively.

With the sweep, Millsaps improves to 10-8 on the season and 3-1 in the SCAC while Trinity falls to 8-12 overall and 1-3 in the conference.

The Majors will return home for a make-up doubleheader with the University of West Alabama on Tuesday afternoon beginning at 2 p.m.
