Victoria Gibson, who had singled earlier in the inning also came across the plate. These were the only runs Millsaps managed on the day however. Millsaps lost the first game by a final score of 3-2.
In the second game of the day, the Lady Majors were unable to produce any offense. The Lady Majors did record nine hits in the contest, but no runs to show for the effort. The Lady Warriors, however, put up three runs in the game to get the win. Millsaps falls to an 8-15 overall season record.
