ATLANTA – The Millsaps softball team tallied a series victory over the weekend thanks in large part to freshman pitcher and designated player Allana Vasquez. On Monday, conference coaches voted her the Southern Athletic Association Softball Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season.

Vasquez was excellent in two appearances as the Majors earned a pair of wins hosting Centre. Vasquez combined for 12 innings pitched, zero earned runs, six strikeouts, while holding the Colonels to three walks and nine hits.

She pitched a complete seven innings in a 5-1, Game One win on Friday, allowing three walks and five hits, while striking out four batters with no earned runs. The freshman kept the Majors alive in a 4-3 defeat in Game Three on Sunday, throwing five scoreless innings in relief. She allowed four hits, but held the Colonels to no walks and struck out two batters.
 
The student-athlete from Udine, Italy was also selected SAA Softball Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 12. She also ranks in the top 10 of the SAA in five key statistical categories.

Vasquez is tied for first with eight complete games, fourth in innings pitched (73.1 IP), tied for seventh with four wins, eighth in ERA (3.63) and 10th with 36 strikeouts.

The Majors will next travel to face Sewanee on Saturday, April 6 for a 12 and 2 p.m. doubleheader. Live video and live stats will be provided at gomajors.com.
