Ingram Earns Win No. 3, Majors Top Titans 11-6

JACKSON - Junior right-hander Brandon Ingram improved to 3-1 on the season in six innings of work and senior outfielder John Pacillo extended his hitting-streak to 19 games, going 2-for-2 with three RBIs, two runs scored and his sixth homerun of the year to lift Millsaps to an 11-6 win over the visitors from Illinois Wesleyan on Tuesday afternoon.

A night after defeating Mississippi College 18-0 in Clinton, Illinois Wesleyan (2-5) put up quite a fight against 13th-ranked Millsaps, cutting the deficit from 8-1 to 8-4 in the sixth frame before the Majors pulled away at the end for the 5-run win.

Millsaps (16-5, 2-2 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) had eight different batters record a hit in the contest, with Justin Carter (3), Luke Morrow (2), Hunter Abrams (2) and Pacillo (2) leading the pack.

Ingram picked up his third consecutive win in only his second start of the season, scattering seven hits, four runs and a pair of strikeouts in six innings. Drew Maddox and Tait Hendrix pitched the final three innings in relief, as Hendrix pitched a scoreless ninth with a pair of strikeouts.

For IWU, Ricky Angel (2-for-5, R, RBI), Casey McIntosh (2-for-5, 2 R, RBI) and Nate Ritenberry
(1-for-3, 2 RBIs) led the way offensively while Jesse Foster was hit with the loss after surrendering eight runs off nine hits in only three innings of work.
