RIDGELAND, Miss. - The Millsaps softball team dropped a pair of games this weekend at Freedom Ridge Park against Webster University and Mississippi College.

In game one, Webster got on the board in the first inning thanks to a leadoff single from Tabatha Bahre. They added three in the third with two outs, including a two-run homerun from Hanna Brindisi. 

With the Gorlocks up 4-0, the Majors answered in the bottom of the third. Jade Hewitt got the inning started with a double to left center and was moved to third by Emily Spicer's single to left. Caroline Thompson drove in the Majors' first run with a single, scoring Hewitt.

Allyson Christian got on next with another single to load the bases for Allison Tarbox. Webster pitcher Kristie Konnersman walked Tarbox to plate the second Major run. Webster managed to get the next two batters out but Catherine Henry drove in a third run with a single, but with runners at second and third the Gorlocks got a strike-out third out to end the Major threat in the inning.

Millsaps had runners in scoring position in the fourth but couldn't bring them in and went scoreless the rest of the way for the 4-3 loss.

In the second game, with Mississippi College, the Majors led 4-0 into the sixth inning, but gave up six runs in the final two frames to fall 6-4 to the Choctaws.

Allyson Tarbox drove in two with a bases-loaded walk in the first and a single in the third. Catherine Henry had the other two for Millsaps on a fielder's choice in the third and an error on the left fielder. The Majors left 12 runners on the paths in the game compared to just four for Mississippi College.

The Majors will return to action this Saturday with a pair of games at Birmingham-Southern. They will face Berry College in a neutral site game at 3:00 p.m. before taking on the Panthers at 5:00 p.m.
