DALLAS, TX- Millsaps improved to 4-0 on the season after sweeping past the University of Dallas Crusaders 3-0 and 15-4 in a pair of non-conference games.
Game one box score
In game one, Danielle Faucheux was brilliant once again, picking up her third win and second straight shutout. The right-hander allowed just three hits and a walk while striking out six in the complete game win.
The Majors did all their scoring in the fifth inning, plating three runs. The big blow came from Kathryn Romero who doubled home two runs. Megan Murray added insurance two batters later, scoring Romero with a double of her own.
In game two, the Major erupted for eight runs in the second inning to take control of the game. Missy Romero cleared the bases with a bases loaded triple to start the scoring. Run scoring singles from Rayner LeBlanc, Rayne Gravat and Hannah Doggett put Millsaps up 8-3 after two.
The Majors put the game out of reach in the sixth, scoring six more times. Gravat put the exclamation point on the inning with a three-run homer, her first of the season. Gravat went 3-5 with four runs batted in and two runs scored.
This was more than enough for the pitching duo of Faucheux and Cassidy DeNoon. Faucheux side-stepped a three run first and went the first three innings before handing off to DeNoon. The freshman earned her first collegiate win and went the final three innings, allowing just one run on one hit and striking out two.
Millsaps scheduled double header at Centenary on Sunday has been postponed due to weather. No make-up dates have been announced.
The Majors are next in action Saturday when they host the Huntingdon Hawks and Webster Gorlocks next weekend in a round-robin. First pitch from Jackson is set for 11AM.
