SWINGING GATES

DEMOREST GA-Stephen Gates had another multi-hit game and drove in three as the Majors sweep through the Piedmont Invitational, knocking off Lynchburg 10-2. 

Gates' efforts helped starter Will Elmore, who dazzled with seven innings of four-hit, two-run ball. Elmore got the win and teammed with Daniel Ross and West Hammond to silence Lynchburg. 

Kevin Wall got the offense rolling in the second on Sunday, singling home Will Lawrence and Jerrod Meyers. Stephen Gates doubled one inning later to score Blake Littlejohn and Meyers to break open a 4-1 lead for the Majors as part of a three-run fourth.

Lawrence singled home another pair in the fifth as the Majors opened up the flood gates and a 7-1 lead. 

The Majors offense was rolling this weekend. Scoring 8, 21 and 10 runs respectfully over the three-game weekend. The Majors pounded out 16 hits on Sunday as Gates, Keith Shumaker, Wes Perkins, Isaac Glenn and Will Lawrence all had multi-hit Sundays. The first four of the Majors lineup went 10-22 on Sunday. 

The Majors continue their weekend road swing, heading to Montgomery, Alabama and Huntingdon College next weekend. The Majors pair up with Capital University out of Columbus, Ohio on Friday. First pitch is set for 4pm on Friday.
