LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Coming off a successful weekend, the Millsaps College softball team hit the road on Wednesday evening for a tough non-conference matchup with the University of West Alabama, a Division II program, and fell twice in a doubleheader by scores of 8-3 and 8-1 at the UWA Softball Complex.

Heading into the day, the Majors were 12-4 in the month of March and despite the two losses, finished in first place in the SCAC's West Division.

Opening the doubleheader, the Tigers took an early 2-0 lead in the second inning on \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# but the Majors rallied with three in the top of the fifth to take for a 3-2 advantage.

\#Lindsay Drane\# got the inning started with a lead-off walk and \#Laura Litton\# followed with a single.

\#Emily Spicer\# reached base on an error that allowed Drane to score and \#LeAnn Williams\# hit an RBI double to even the score 2-2.

\#Josie Matthews\# gave Millsaps a 3-2 lead with a sacrifice fly later in the top of the fifth.

However, UWA answered right back, exploding for six runs on seven hits in the bottom half of the inning to jump back on top before holding on for the 8-3 victory.

Drane (1-1) took the loss for the Majors pitching two innings while allowing six earned runs on seven hits.

In game two, the Tigers again took an early lead scoring one in the bottom of the first for a 1-0 lead off starter \#Brittney McAllister\#.

UWA added another run in the fourth to go ahead 2-0 but Millsaps cut the deficit in half in the top of the fifth when \#Jennifer McKinley\# knocked-home Litton.

That would be all the closer the Majors would get as the Tigers score one more in the fifth before breaking the game open with five runs in the sixth for the 8-1 win.

McAllister recorded the loss allowing two earned runs on three hits while pitching four innings to fall to 2-4 on the year.

Millsaps left a total of 19 runners stranded in the two games and were only able to record nine hits.

The Majors, now 13-11 on the season, will return to action tomorrow night traveling to Clinton, Miss., for a doubleheader with No. 11 ranked Mississippi College beginning at 5 p.m.
