GEORGETOWN, Texas - After picking up the first two wins in a 4-game series against conference-foe Southwestern, Millsaps split the final two games of the series with a 4-3 loss in 10 innings in the Saturday nightcap and a 14-4 victory in Sunday's finale.
With Sunday's victory, Millsaps (19-6, 5-3 SCAC) captures its first conference series win this season after splitting a 4-game set with Austin College a week ago.
The Majors continue to swing the bats well, eclipsing double digit hit totals in all four games, including 12 hits in a 13-2 series-opening win on Friday.
Starting pitchers Jay Hollenbeck (5-0, 3.21 ERA), Travis Bogue (5-1, 4.66 ERA) and Brent Buffa (4-2, 3.09 ERA) picked up the three wins for Millsaps this weekend, allowing just nine earned runs in 17 combined innings.
Junior outfielder Hunter Owen paced the Millsaps offense, going 9-for-18 (.500) from the plate while posting 10 RBIs, three doubles, three runs scored and a stolen base.
Owen has now hit safely in 19 of 23 games played and currently ranks first in the SCAC in RBIs (42) and homeruns (6), second in slugging percentage (.761) and total bases (67), fourth in doubles (11), fifth in on-base percentage (.509) and seventh in runs scored (27), hits (37), and batting average (.409).
Hunter Abrams also had a nice weekend at the plate for the Majors, extending his hitting-streak to six games after going 9-for-19 (.474) with five RBIs and three stolen bases.
Millsaps will play its next six games around the Jackson-Metropolitan area, facing off with Belhaven at Smith-Wills Stadium (March 27) before opening a 4-game series at home with Trinity (March 30 - April 1) and traveling to Clinton to battle with the Choctaws (April 3).
