Softball Lands Four Majors on All-Tournament Team

CONWAY, Ark. - The Millsaps College softball team had four players selected to the 2010 all-tournament softball team for their efforts over the weekend.

Senior pitcher \#Kasey Thibodeaux\# was one of two players to be unanimously selected to the all-tournament squad joining Katelyn Gola from Southwestern University.

Thibodeaux went 2-1 during the tournament, striking out 13 batters while posting an ERA of 0.68 and batters who faced her hit just .179 in 20.2 innings of work as she gave up just two earned runs all weekend.

By being selected to this year's team, Thibodeaux becomes just the eighth player in league history to be named to three SCAC all-tournament teams.

Thibodeaux joins Maggie Blackburn of Centre (05, 07-08), Rachel Gill of DePauw (07-09), Robin Rockco of Millsaps (02-04), Amy Owensby of Sewanee (02-04) and Shannon George (99-00, 02), Kyle Schumacher (99-01) and Erin Mulvey (05-07) – all of Trinity – as the only three-time SCAC all-tournament members.

Joining Thibodeaux on the 2010 team are sophomore catcher \#Jade Hewitt\#, who finished the weekend with a team-leading .500 batting average, going 5-for-10 from the plate with two RBIs and two runs scored.

A pair of underclassmen outfielders also received all-tournament team recognition for the Majors.

Freshman \#Emily Spicer\# led Millsaps with five RBIs and six runs scored in the four games while recording a .429 batting average (6-for-14).

Spicer's 11 total bases and .786 slugging percentage also led the Majors in the tournament.

Joining Spicer in the outfield was sophomore \#Allison Tarbox\#, who hit a home run and a triple while driving home two runs.

Southwestern and Millsaps led the way with four selections each to the 2010 SCAC All-Tournament Team while DePauw had three honorees and Trinity had two. Centre had one selection to the team.
