After each team had chances to score in the first three innings, the score remained tied 0-0 until the Majors took control of the game in the fourth, scoring five runs off starter Ashley Halbert.

\#Allison Tarbox\# and \#Jade Hewitt\# singled before \#Emily Spicer\# hit a three-run home run, her third of the season to put Millsaps in front 3-0.

For the second time in the past four games, \#LeAnn Williams\# followed Spicer's blast with a solo home run of her own.

In the top of the seventh, \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# helped her cause hitting a three-run shot over the left field fence to give Millsaps an 8-0 lead.

Thibodeaux went the distance in the circle for the Majors throwing a six-hit shutout with six strikeouts for her 14th win of the season.

Facing the Warriors in game two, the bats remained on fire as Millsaps scored seven runs in the first inning and seven more in the second inning for a commanding 14-0 lead.

The Warriors got on the scoreboard for the first time on the day in the third inning when Christina Byler hit a two-run home run off \#Brittney McAllister\# who entered in relief of Thibodeaux.
