MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Millsaps softball team split an afternoon double header with the Huntingdon College Hawks.

The Majors (11-16) got a solid seven-inning performance from Molly Tyner (5-4) in game one, holding the Hawks (16-9) scoreless on five hits. Tyner struck out four and did not surrender a walk in 26 batters-faced.

Megan Yglesias and Jade Hewitt provided the offense driving in three and two runs respectively in the game. Yglesias drove in the first run in the third inning with a single that plated Hewitt. She also drove in Millsaps' two runs in the fifth inning, bringing in both Caroline Thompson and Hewitt, again. Jade got in on the action in the sixth inning with a double to left that scored both Sam Wursteisen and Katie Birdwell.

The Majors capitalized on three Huntingdon errors in the game while committing just one error themselves. Bree Giordana got the loss for the Hawks, surrendering all eight Major hits resulting in the five runs scored.

Game two went the opposite direction for the Majors, as Lindsay Drane gave up eight hits in her six innings of work, allowing three runs with one strike out, but again, no walks in 24 batters-faced.

The Hawks got the game's first run in the second and another in the fifth to take a 2-0 lead before the Majors could respond. Emily Spicer drove in the Majors' lone run with a single down the right field line that scored Caroline Thompson from second.

Huntingdon got the run back in the bottom of the sixth to keep the two-run margin that became the final, 3-1.

The Majors will return to Jackson this weekend for their final home series of 2011 when they host the Trinity University Tigers for two double headers. Game one of the four-game set is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at Millsaps Field.
