SEWANEE, Tenn. — The Millsaps Majors baseball team defeated Rhodes College today in a quarterfinal match-up at the SCAC Tournament in Sewanee, Tenn. Millsaps moved past Rhodes by a final score of 7-0.

The Majors move on to play Trinity University tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. in the semi-finals. Millsaps has beaten Trinity three times in five meetings this season.

The Majors struck early scoring their first run in the top of the first inning. Right fielder Garner Wetzel's RBI single scored Justin Carter from second base. This run would prove to be the difference maker as Rhodes was unable to manage a run all day long.

Senior right hander Todd Kindler (9-2) threw a complete shut-out today. Kindler scattered nine hits, allowing no runs or walks and struck out four batters.

In the top of the third inning right fielder Garner Wetzel hit a solo homerun to center field, his eighth of the year. Three innings later in the top of the seventh, short stop Justin Carter hit a grand slam effectively putting the game out of reach for Rhodes.

Wetzel was 3 for 5 at the plate today with 3 RBI. Carter was 1 for 5 with 4 RBI – all on the grand slam.
