Softball Wraps up SAA Play with Series at BSC

4/12/2019 12:57:00 PM

JACKSON, Miss.—While it seems like spring sports just started, the Millsaps softball team will wrap up their 2019 SAA slate with a three-game series this weekend against nationally-ranked Birmingham-Southern. 
 
Last Week
 
The Majors dropped three games to Berry last weekend, playing the Vikings really close on Saturday. They dropped a 4-3 contest in game one of Saturday's doubleheader before taking a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh of game two. Unfortunately, Berry plated three runs to walk-off 6-5. 
 
Matilyn Taliaferro had a big weekend for Millsaps, going 3-5 with a run and an RBI. 
 
For the season, Karlie Galloway leads the Majors with a .356 average, along with 13 extra base hits and is second on the team with 19 RBI.   
 
Saturday, April 13 12:00 PM (DH), Sunday, April 14 12:00 AM at #18 Birmingham-Southern College Panthers (28-5, 10-2 SAA)
 
Arguably the best team in the conference this season, BSC comes into this weekend's series ranked 18th in the country and sporting a 15-game win-streak, including a sweep of defending champions Berry. The Panthers have not lost in almost a month, their last L coming in a 1-0 setback to Rhodes on March 16. 
 
They sport a 17-2 home record and are batting .344 as a team on the season.     
 
Key Players for BSC
  • Savannah Lee-Lee has to be considered an All-American candidate as the senior is hitting .376, but more impressive, she leads the Panthers with 14 homeruns and 48 RBI.
  • Abby Spencer-Hitting .485, Spencer leads the SAA in average and hits (49). 
  • Haley Crumpton-Crumpton has 19 appearances on the season and is sporting an 11-2 record with a 1.99 ERA.     
 
The Panthers knocked off the Majors three times in Jackson last year during the regular season.
