Tigers walk it off in 11th inning to sweep Senior Day doubleheader against Millsaps

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Sydney Tackett drove in the winning run with a single in the 11th inning of the second game as the Tigers swept their doubleheader against Millsaps on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers celebrated their senior day with a 5-3 and 11-10 victories over the Majors. 

Reagan Huskey tossed a complete game with six strikeouts, five groundouts, and walking three in the first game of the day collecting the 5-3 win. The freshman righthander retired the side in order in the first, second, and third innings. 

In the bottom of the first, Sewanee collected two runs as a single up the middle from Maggie Barker sent Hannah Wilson home. Abbie Buckner came home at the next at-bat off a hit from Eve Bournias. 

In the bottom of the third, the Tigers collected two more runs off of three hits and one error. Wilson started the inning for Sewanee with a single to left field. A double from Buckner and a throwing error from the second baseman sent Buckner to third and Wilson home for a 3-0 lead. A two-out single to center field from Barker sent Buckner home for an unearned run. 

Millsaps tallied their first run in the top of the fourth and collected two more in the top of the fifth to get within one. 

In the bottom of the sixth, Zoe Crockett started the inning for the Tigers getting on base with a single to center field. A sacrifice bunt from Kelly Walker sent Crockett to second at the next at-bat. A fielding error by the Major's left fielder sent Wilson to second as Crockett came home for a 5-3 game. 

Husky closed out the first game with a strike-out and induced two flyouts to center field as the Majors stranded one on base. 

The Majors started out the second game with a double followed by a home run to tack on two in the top of the first. 

Sewanee took the lead in the bottom of the third as they registered six runs. Kaylie Smith got the inning started as she reached on a walk. Wilson reached on a fielder's choice and then advanced to second on a throwing error by the 3rd baseman as Smith scored. A single from Buckner to the shortstop sent Wilson home to tie the game. A one-out single from Sarah Storsteen to right field sent Crockett to third and Buckner home. 

Storsteen stole second and a fielding error sent Crockett home and Storsteen advanced to third. A sacrifice fly from Tackett to right field sent Storsteen home. Christian Cain followed up with a single to right center in the next at-bat sending Bournias home for a 6-2 lead. 

However, Millsaps had an answer as they tallied four in the top of the fourth to tie the game. 

A sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth from Bournias sent Crockett home, giving Sewanee the lead again. 

Sewanee induced a double play to get out of the top of the fifth and tallied two more in the bottom of the inning. With two outs, Wilson doubled left center. A single from Bucker sent Wilson home and Bucker scored off a fielding error from the left fielder as Crockett reached first. 

The Majors tied the game at nine in the top of the sixth. 

Neither team tallied a run until extra innings in the top of the 10th. Millsaps scored in the top of the 10th, but the Tigers tallied one in the bottom of the inning sending the game into the 11th inning. 

In the top of the 11th, with a runner placed on second, Ansley Giffin, pitching for the Tigers made quick work of the inning collecting the first out off a sacrifice bunt, inducing a fly out to center field, and a ground out to shortstop. 

Bournias started the bottom of the inning on second for Sewanee and a single up the middle from Tackett sent Bournias home to secure the sweep. 

Sewanee hosts Millsaps for the final game of the series, tomorrow at noon.
