GEORGETOWN, Texas – The Millsaps softball team split the first two games of their final regular season series with Southwestern University today in Georgetown.

Southwestern (16-12, 12-2 SCAC) scored a pair of runs in the fourth inning off a two-run homer off the bat of Kayla Irvin that broke up the scoreless game. Lauren Zearfoss held the Majors to just two hits in the series-opener.

The Majors (15-21, 9-5 SCAC) got their turn in the second game. Just as in game one, only one half inning saw any runs cross the plate. This time the Majors scored the runs without any long-ball theatrics. Jade Hewitt led the inning with a walk and moved to third after Caroline Thompson got a double to left in the next at-bat.

Emily Spicer drove in the first run with a single to bring in Hewitt. Thompson scored on a fielder's choice from Allison Tarbox. Spicer came in for the third and final run on a hard-hit ball from Katie Birdwell.

For her part, Majors pitcher Lindsay Drane gave up just three hits to the Pirates in seven innings of work. She walked one and struck out four in 27 batters faced.

The series will conclude tomorrow after another double header. First pitch is slated for noon.
