MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Sophomore \#Tony Malaschak\# led an offensive explosion for Millsaps with a 4-for-5 day and a pair of RBIs and five other Majors had multiple hits as they rolled to a 13-2 run-rule win over Emory University at Stauffer Field on Friday afternoon in the Rhodes College Classic.
Millsaps (12-1) got to Emory's freshman hurler in the opening inning to take total control early, plating four runs off five hits. After a \#Will Hawkins\# RBI-groundout produced the second out of the inning, the Majors proceeded to score three runs with two outs off Connor McGuiness for a 4-0 cushion.
The Majors added two more in the second off RBIs from \#Hunter Owen\# and \#Josh Ordeneaux\# and chased McGuiness after just one out. A four-run third blew it wide open at 10-1 after three, as Millsaps used a two-RBI double from \#Russ Boyd\# and a two-RBI single from Hawkins.
Emory (5-3) scored its first run in the third off a David Hissey RBI-single before Hissey was thrown out to end the inning by Owen on a play at the plate.
The game was called after seven innings, as sophomore \#Aaron Williams\# earned his second complete game win of the year after scattering two runs off nine hits and seven strikeouts. In the victory, Williams lowered his ERA to a 3.86 after four consecutive solid outings.
A total of six Majors had multiple hits on the afternoon en route to 13 runs off 17 hits, while Emory was led by Andrew Cohn and Scott Schwartz who grabbed two hits apiece.
Millsaps will face LaGrange at 2 p.m. tomorrow on Day 2 of the Rhodes College Classic. With 4-5 inches of snow expected in the forecast Saturday, tomorrow's game will depend on the weather.
