Softball Swept in SCAC Doubleheader on Saturday Afternoon

San Antonio - Trinity's softball team was swept in a Saturday afternoon SCAC doubleheader by Millsaps College, finishing off a four-game weekend series.

Trinity (8-12, 1-3 SCAC) lost both games by run-rule, losing 14-0 in the opener and 12-3 in the second game.

In the first game, the Tigers were down just three runs through three innings, but the Majors exploded with an eight-run fourth inning.  Trinity was held to just three hits in the game, while Millsaps finished with a total of nine hits.  Each team committed three errors.

Trinity's Megan Russell had two of the team's three hits in the opening game, while Ana Garcia was 1-2 for the Tigers.

Millsaps opened up the second game with four runs in the first inning, as well as posting another eight-run fourth inning.  Trinity broke up the shutout with a run in the bottom of the fourth.  The Tigers scored a pair of runs in the fifth, but failed to extend the game.

Caitlin Richards and Alexa Calderson each went 2-3 in the second game, while Russell added two more hits to her day.

Jennifer McKinley was 3-3 with six RBI in the first game for the Majors.  Megan Yglesias and Kasey Thibodeaux had four RBI each in game two.
