GEORGETOWN, Texas - The Southwestern University Pirates took game three of the series from the Majors today, 7-6. The loss is Millsaps' first on the year.

The Majors (7-1, 4-1 SCAC) had two outs in the bottom of the ninth but could not force extra innings as the Pirates (3-4, 1-2 SCAC) got the game-winner off a Johnny Gavrel single that drove in Cray Betts.

Millsaps scored their six runs on 12 hits, the Pirates got seven on 13, but it was the three Millsaps errors that were especially costly in the loss. An error by Will Hawkins in the seventh cost the Majors an unearned run and Cray Betts got on in the bottom of the ninth thanks to a miscue by Drew Leonard.

Hawkins did finish the day with three hits and three RBI to lead the Majors' offensive effort. Leonard and Jake Mills each had a hit and RBI. Both teams left nine runners stranded. Mills pitched six innings giving up seven hits and two runs. He struck out two. Will Elmore took the loss after two-and-a-third innings in relief. He gave up two hits to the nine batters he faced.

The Majors will have four games at Piedmont College this weekend in Demorest, Ga., two against the Lions and two neutral site games with the Adrian College Bulldogs. The first game is Friday at 7:00 p.m. against Piedmont.
