WE CALL THAT A WINNING STREAK

MONTGOMERY- The Millsaps Majors kept it rolling on Sunday, downing Huntingdon 9-7 and running their winning streak to five in a row. 

The Majors wasted little time on Sunday, hanging a four-spot on the board in the first. Will Lawrence roped a double down the left field line to bring home two runs. That followed a run-scoring single by Isaac Glenn. The Majors chased the Hawks starter in the second, putting up another crooked number, scoring three to make it 7-0 Majors. Wes Perkins, Lawrence and Jerrody Myers all had run producing at-bats in the second. 

Majors starter Will Elmore was chased in the third as the Hawks mounted their counter-attack. Harper Grier came on, allowed an inherited runner to score and got out of the third with minimal damage done. The Majors led 8-5 after three. 

The Hawks would close the gap to 8-7 by scoring two unearned runs in the fourth. Again Grier got out of trouble getting a strike out and ground out to preserve the lead. Keith Shumaker scored in the sixth on a double steal, coming home from third after Isaac Glenn was caught stealing second. 

Grier got the win, going six and two-thirds innings in relief to improve to 3-0 on the year. The Majors have run their record to 6-2 on the year and have scored at least eight runs in each of their victories. Leg two of the Maloney Series is next up for the Majors on Tuesday as they travel to Mississippi College to meet the Choctaws. First pitch is set for 6pm.
