CLEVELAND, Miss. – Excellent pitching by Delta State University's Miller Maddox and Macie Wilde and timely hitting from the Lady Statesmen earned them two momentum-gaining wins over Stillman College on Monday afternoon. DSU evens its record at 7-7, while Stillman drops to 1-7 on the year.

Offense started early for Delta State when Kassidy Tally led off the inning with a bunt for a single. With one out, freshman Madison Zoeller hit a sacrifice fly to score the speedy Tally. The next at-bat Brook Cline singled up the middle to score Taylor Holland from second base, taking the 2-0 lead over the Tigers.

Roseville, Calif., native Ashley Mrozinski reached on an error that scored Amber Adcock in the bottom of the third to extend the DSU lead to 3-0.

The Tigers made things interesting in the top of the fourth inning when they scored two runs on three hits. The Green-and-White quickly responded in the bottom frame when a keen eye from Adcock walked in the fourth Delta State run for the Lady Statesmen to take the 4-2 lead.

Sophomore power-hitting lefty Kaitlin Moore added another run in the bottom half of the sixth inning when she singled to right-center field, scoring Kassidy Tally.
Delta State went on to defeat Stillman in game one by a final of 5-2. Taylor Holland led the Lady Statesmen in game one as she went 2-for-3, platting one run. Kaitlin Moore and Brook Cline each went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
