JACKSON – The Millsaps Majors Baseball Team continued to play good baseball on Friday afternoon as they welcomed in the Sewanee Tigers to Twenty Field. The Majors used two six run innings and a five running inning and the arm of junior Will Edwards to take an 18-1 win over the Tigers and push their winning streak to four games.
 
After a few scoreless innings, Millsaps opened things up in the third as junior Jerrod Myers led the inning off with a bloop single over the second baseman's head. After a sacrifice bunt by junior Stephen Gates and a recorded out, junior Wes Perkins opened up the scoring with a double to left field to give the Majors a 1-0 lead.
 
After freshman Ketih Shumaker walked and stole second, senior Ryan Zemke drove in his team leading 28th and 29th RBI of the season to extend the lead to 3-0. He then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Sophomore Kevin Wall made Sewanee pay for that mistake as he drove in Zemke with a RBI single. Senior Jules Roussel capped the inning off with a two run blast to left to complete a big inning for the Majors.
 
Sewanee loaded the bases in the fourth with no outs and got one run back, but Edwards buckled down and got the Majors out of the inning with minimal damage. 

The Majors got that run back immediately as Gates doubled down the left field line to score Myers from first, who was hit by pitch.
 
The onslaught continued in the fifth as Zemke led the inning off with a double. Wall then laid down a single that he beat out, but an error on the throw brought Zemke home to make it 8-1. Roussel then picked up his third RBI of the day with a double to left. After Myers was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game and senior Drew Leonard reached on an error to load the bases, Perkins put the game out of reach as he laced a towering grand slam over left to make it a 13-1 game.
 
Millsaps added five more in the sixth thanks to two RBIs from junior Will Lawrence and RBIs from freshman Samuel Doucet, senior Drew Respess, and Leonard.
 
Edwards took the win to improve to 6-2. He pitched a complete seven innings shutout while only giving up six hits and striking out four.
 
Perkins led the way offensively going 2-for-4 with five RBIs and two runs scored while Roussel added a 3-for-4 day with three RBIs including a home run, a double, and a single. Zemke also picked up three hits, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored.
 
The Majors improve to 19-10 on the season and are back in action tomorrow afternoon as they take on Sewanee in a doubleheader to wrap up the three game series. First pitch is at 12 p.m.
