McMillan’s Career Day Highlights UNG’s Two Wins in Captain D’s Classic

DAHLONEGA | Senior Kim McMillan went a combined six-for-eight with three home runs and 11 RBI as the No. 11 University of North Georgia softball team collected a pair of shutout victories over Lincoln Memorial and Mercyhust, 6-0 and 9-0, Saturday afternoon at Hill Stadium. The Nighthawks move to 15-3 on the season and have now won eighth straight.
 
The offense wasn't the only story of the game as the pitching staff combined for 13 innings of shutout ball. Reigning Louisville Slugger/NFCA National Pitcher of the Week Courtney Poole (9-1) picked up the complete game win in the first game against Lincoln Memorial, allowing just three hits while striking out 14 of the 23 batters she faced. Meagan Stover (5-0) picked up the win in relief in the Mercyhurst game after coming in for Ally LeGette who pitched two scoreless innings.
 
Game One
McMillan started her career day off with a solo shot to left to but the Nighthawks up 1-0. After three innings without any scoring, it would be McMillan again coming through with a home run, this time a three-run blast to left to give UNG a 4-0 lead.
 
North Georgia added two more runs in the sixth inning on a Katie Block RBI single followed by a McMillan RBI single through the right side to score Block and give UNG the 6-0 lead that proved final.
 
Game Two
It was once again McMillan starting things off with a two-run homer to left center to give UNG a 2-0 lead in the first. The Powder Springs, Ga., native platted two more in the second inning with a two-run single up the middle..
 
A Meagan May double to left center scored Alexis Collis in the third and Hannah McSwain picked up a two-run single to center in the sixth to put the Nighthawks up 7-0 in the sixth.
 
It was only fitting that McMillan drove in the run-rule clinching eighth and ninth runs in the sixth inning to give North Georgia the 9-0 lead.
 
Next Up
The Nighthawks continue play in the Captain D's Surf & Turf Classic tomorrow, taking on Wayne State at 11 a.m., and Lincoln Memorial at 3 p.m. For a full tournament schedule, click here.
