JACKSON, Miss. - The Millsaps baseball team opened SCAC-play this weekend with a pair of wins over Hendrix College.

On Saturday the Majors (4-0, 2-0 SCAC) took game one of the series 3-1. Jeremy Aliff plated the first run for Millsaps in the third inning with a sacrifice fly that brought in Kevin Wall. Hendrix got the evener in the next inning off an Andrew Thames double to tie the score at one apiece.

Aaron Williams buckled down, however, and went on to pitch through the seventh inning and allowing only the one run. The Millsaps offense came back in the fifth as Kevin Wall lined a double up the middle. He then stole third and advanced home on a throwing error by the Warrior catcher, who had tried to throw Wall out at the bag. Will Hawkins got the Majors and insurance run in the eighth after a lead-off single. Wes Perkins hit a hard line to the shortstop, but Hendrix couldn't turn the double play as Perkins beat the throw to allow Hawkins to score.

On Sunday afternoon the Majors needed two extra innings to get the job done, but came away with the 4-3 win and the series sweep. The Warriors (0-4, 0-2 SCAC) were leading going into the home-half of the sixth, 2-0, when a costly throwing error allowed the Majors to tie the game. Josh Ordeneaux got the ball rolling with a lead-off single through the right side. Jules Roussel was hit by Hendrix starter Thomas Weaver, who then walked Jake Mills to load the bases with one out. Wes Perkins came up and drove a line drive at the shortstop. The inning-ending play was broken up by the Hendrix second baseman's throw which sailed past Jeff Forgerson at first and allowed Roussel and Ordeneaux to score, tying the game.

The Majors scored again in the bottom of the seventh when Hendrix pitcher Will Harris walked Will Hawkins with the bases loaded to score Kevin Wall. The Warriors were not finished, though, and scored in the top of the ninth to set up extra innings.

Both teams hung zeroes in the tenth. The Majors ended the game in the bottom of the eleventh thanks to more Hendrix miscues. Kevin Wall led off the inning being hit by the pitch to take first. He then advanced to second on a wild pitch in the dirt. That set up Drew Leonard to drive in the winning run with a sac bunt to end the game 4-3.

The Majors will return to Twenty Field Tuesday night to host cross-town rival Mississippi College. First pitch with the Choctaws is slated for 6:00 p.m.
