ATLANTA – The awards and honors continue to roll in for the Millsaps softball team as senior
Hayleigh Rogers was tabbed the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Softball Pitcher of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
She joins sophomore
Hannah Derouen and senior
Lindsey Osbon in leaguewide recognition this season. Derouen was the Pitcher of the Week on March 1, Osbon garnered Player of the Week on March 8, and the pair both took home the same awards on March 22.
Rogers, a righty from Laurel, Miss., was the best player in the circle for the Majors in its four-game set at No. 14 Berry. She pitched a complete seven innings in a narrow 3-2 loss on Saturday. She struck out two batters, allowed one earned run, while yielding eight hits and only one walk.
Millsaps has had an impressive season thus far in conference play, sitting in third place with a record of 8-4 against SAA foes. The Majors have also clinched a spot as one of the top four teams that will compete in the SAA Softball Championship Tournament.
Seeding is still to be determined, but times and pairings are now set for the double-elimination format. The tournament will be hosted by Centre, Friday through Sunday, April 23-25. A complete schedule is attached and can be found below.
The Majors will first travel to No. 9 Birmingham Southern for a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday, April 17-18 to conclude the regular season. First pitch for the Saturday doubleheader will be at 12 p.m. CT. Game Three will begin at 12 p.m. on Sunday. Live stats and video links will be available for all games at gomajors.com.
