Hendrix, Robertson Combine for 3-Hit Shutout of Emory

• Official Stats

JACKSON
-- \#Hayes Brian\# and \#Will Hawkins\# each homered to drive in three of Millsaps' six runs and Tait Hendrix and Shelby Robertson combined for a three-hit shutout on the mound as the Majors became the second fastest team in Division III to 30 wins this season with a 6-0 victory over Emory University Saturday afternoon at Twenty Field.

Millsaps turned three double plays on the day and didn't allow an Eagle to reach second base, earning the season sweep 3-0 and improving to 30-4 with the win -- its fifth 30-win season in school history and fourth in six years.  Emory dropped to 20-13 with the loss.

Hawkins extended an 11-game hitting streak by going yard in his first at-bat to give the Majors an early 2-0 lead, scoring \#Hunter Owen\# after the senior drew his conference-leading, 32nd walk of the year.

After a scoreless second, Millsaps followed with single runs the ensuing four innings, highlighted by \#Billy Murphy\#'s RBI-single in the fourth and Brian's solo home run to left in the sixth, to pull away with a 6-0 win.

Hendrix (6-0, 3.75 ERA) allowed just two hits in six innings of work to go along with five strikeouts, while Robertson closed out the final three innings by allowing one hit for his first save as a Major.   Chris Monaco was hit with the loss to drop to 2-3.

Tommy Dugan picked up two of the Eagles' three hits on the day with Marc Terranova grabbing the other.  Millsaps was paced by multi-hit games from Hawkins and Brian.

The Majors will continue a six-game homestand to end the regular season on Tuesday night, welcoming NAIA-foe Belhaven to Twenty Field for the final game of the 2009 Cowboy Maloney Trophy Series.  First pitch is set for 6 p.m., with Belhaven's Reid Vance handling play-by-play duties for the online feed.

Game Notes:
• Tait Hendrix is one strikeout shy of 200 for his career (199)
• Millsaps moved to 16-0 against non-conference opponents this season
• Millsaps outscored Emory 24-5 in a 3-game series sweep
