Box Score

JACKSON – In the final game of the 2010 Maloney Series, the Millsaps College baseball team was shut out for the first time since 2007 as Belhaven University earned the season-sweep over the Majors with a 12-0 victory in seven innings at Smith-Wills Stadium Thursday night.

The Majors have not been shut out in a game since a 5-0 seven-inning loss to Austin College at home March 17, 2007, a stretch of 154 games.

In the Jim Page era, Millsaps has been held scoreless in only 20 games dating back to the 1989 season.

Chris Bennett of the Blazers pitched a complete game shutout scattering three hits to pick up the win.

The Majors threatened in the first inning loading the bases after \#Jules Roussel\# and \#Will Hawkins\# hit a pair of singles followed by a walk to \#Tyler Berry\#.

Millsaps could not take advantage as \#Jake Mills\# grounded into a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning.

\#Ryan Zemke\# started for the Majors and was in-command early holding the Blazers to no runs and two hits through three innings.

In the fourth, Belhaven broke things open using six hits and three Millsaps errors to take a commanding 8-0 lead.

Timmy Foster hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat of the inning and later added two more RBIs with a single.

The Blazers scored two more in the fifth for a 10-0 advantage and closed out the game with two more runs in the sixth behind another home run by Foster for the 12-0 victory.

After allowing two hits in the first inning, Bennett settled-in and pitched the final six innings allowing just one hit.

The Majors, now 24-12 overall, will head to San Antonio, Texas over the weekend to face Trinity University in a three-game series that will decide the winner of the SCAC West Division.
