BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Millsaps Majors Men's Tennis saw their five game winning streak come to an end as they traveled to Birmingham to take on the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels in a match that could make a huge difference in seedings at the SCAC Tourney next weekend. The Petrels were able to outlast the Majors and take a 6-3 win on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Stormy Petrels got off to a great start as they took all three doubles matches to go up 3-0 early on. The Majors did not go down easily as a similar fate happened to Millsaps just a day ago when they rallied to win after losing the doubles points.
 
The Majors got three huge three set victories from senior David Bastian at No. 2 singles (3-6, 6-2, 10-3), freshman Charles Rees at No. 4 singles (5-7, 6-2, 10-6), and senior Beau Hinton at No. 6 singles (3-6, 6-2, 12-10); however, it would not be enough as Oglethorpe was able to pull away for the 6-3 win.
 
The Majors got to 9-9 on the season and will learn of their seeding on Monday as they prepare for the SCAC Tournament in Little Rock next weekend. Meanwhile, they have one more regular season game remaining as they travel to Clinton on Wednesday to battle the Mississippi College Choctaws. First serve is set for 2 p.m.
