Game 1 Box Score
Game 2 Box Score
CLINTON – Facing No. 11 ranked Mississippi College in a doubleheader Thursday night, the Millsaps College softball team could not generate enough offense to overtake the Lady Choctaws dropping the two games, 3-1 and 10-4.
Opening game one, MC (17-5 overall) took an early 3-0 lead in the second inning using two bunt singles to load the bases before one run scored on a fielder's choice and two more were brought home by a double from Kasey Bomar.
The Majors would get one back in the fourth when \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# led the inning off with a solo home run, her first of the season, but it was not enough as the Lady Choctaws held Millsaps to two hits the rest of the way, taking game one, 3-1.
In game two, after both teams scored one run in the first inning, MC broke the game open scoring seven times in the second for a commanding 8-1 lead.
Six of the seven runs scored in the inning were unearned after an error by \#Jennifer McKinley\# kept Millsaps in the field.
An RBI double by \#Josie Matthews\# in the third and a two-run single off the bat of \#Megan Yglesias\# in the fifth closed the gap for the Majors but the Lady Choctaws cruised to the non-conference victory, 10-4.
Thibodeaux, who entered the day winning her last five decisions, took the loss in both contests to drop to 10-8 on the season.
Millsaps, now 13-13 on the year, will return to action when it hosts Austin College for a four-game series April 10-11.
