GEORGETOWN, Texas -- In the conference-opening doubleheader for host Southwestern, visiting Millsaps plated a combined 24 runs off 22 hits to sweep the afternoon tilt and stay perfect on the road in the early part of the season.

Millsaps (10-1, 3-1 SCAC) won its fourth-straight game overall and third consecutive in league play, using five Pirate errors in Game 1 and a 6-run second inning for a 13-6 win followed by an 11-7 victory in Game 2 thanks in large part to a two-out, bases-clearing double from \#Tony Malaschak\# down the rightfield line in the seventh inning.

In the opening game of the afternoon, all nine Majors in the lineup recorded at least a hit, while junior \#Tyler Berry\# had a career day in going 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and RBIs.  \#Will Hawkins\# continued his spectacular sophomore campaign with a game-high four RBIs on a two-RBI single in the second and two-RBI double in the seventh.

Senior \#Tait Hendrix\# earned his first win on the bump for Millsaps in 2009, tossing 4.1 innings in a scheduled 7-inning contest and scattering six strikeouts, six runs (five earned) and four hits.  \#Drew Maddox\# came in to close out the win, tossing 2.2 innings and allowing just three hits and no runs. 

In the nightcap, Millsaps broke open a 6-6 tie after five innings with five runs in the final three, including three in the seventh off a three-RBI double from Malaschak, to hold on for an 11-7 win and the Saturday sweep.

The Majors scored a pair of runs in the opening frame for an early 2-0 lead, only to see SU plate one in the bottom half to pull it to 2-1.  After a scoreless second, a four-run third stretched the Majors' lead to 6-1 as the first four batters reached base safely and \#Hunter Owen\#, Hawkins, Malaschak and \#Todd Barnthouse\# grabbed the RBIs.

Southwestern (6-7, 0-2 SCAC) responded with two runs in its half of the third to pull within 6-3, using back-to-back, two-out RBIs from Kyle Belski and John Wooten.  They later knotted it at 6-6 with a three-run fifth inning, chasing starter \#Aaron Williams\# and taking advantage of three Major errors.

Maddox, who entered with two outs in the fifth for Millsaps, picked off Mark Noggle at third to end the threat with two runners on and went on to pitch the final four innings in earning his third win of the year.  The senior allowed just one run off four hits while striking out two, as the Majors' offense scored five runs to make his day a lot easier.

Millsaps and Southwestern will close out the third game of a five-game season series tomorrow at Rockwell Field, with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.
