JACKSON -- Senior right-hander \#Drew Maddox\# earned his team-leading fourth win of the season behind a career-tying 7.0 innings of work and fellow senior \#Tait Hendrix\# went 3-for-5 with a bases-clearing triple that sparked a four-run fifth inning as Millsaps won its 11th consecutive game with an 11-4 victory over Mississippi College on Tuesday night.

With the win, Millsaps improved to 17-1 on the year, whereas the visiting Choctaws fell to 9-8.  The Majors also took a commanding lead in the annual Maloney Trophy Series, improving to 3-0 thanks to a pair of wins over MS College (20-3, 11-4) and one over neighboring Belhaven College (14-4).

Millsaps scored single runs in the first and third innings off a \#Hunter Owen\# sacrifice fly and \#Russ Boyd\# solo home run before MS College cut the gap to 2-1 after four complete.

A four-run fifth inning opened the game wide open for the Majors and stretched the lead to 6-1, using back-to-back one out walks, followed by a hit-by-pitch to load the bases with two down.  Hendrix delivered a bases-clearing triple to dead center on the first pitch he saw and scored himself two batters later on a perfectly executed double steal to second and home.

The Choctaws responded with two runs in the sixth to cut it to 6-3, taking advantage of a leadoff double from Brannon Walls and single from Bo Bell who both scored later in the inning off a sac fly and Dannon RBI-single to left.

Millsaps put it away with a three-run sixth thanks to RBI-singles from \#Jeremy Aliff\# and \#Will Hawkins\# and an error from the Choctaws, closing the game with single runs in the seventh and eighth for the 11-4 victory.

The Majors will hit the road for their next three games, opening with a non-conference game at Huntingdon College on Wednesday at 4 p.m.  They close the road swing with a pair of games at Trinity University on Saturday and Sunday.
