JACKSON-The Majors dropped their opening game of the season and the first of two this Saturday 13-10 in 10 innings to the Ozark Eagles. 

The Eagles got off to a hot start in this one, building a 5-0 lead through four innings. Starter Will Edwards exited in the fourth after allowing five runs, only one of them being earned. It was in the fourth inning where the Majors bats began heating up. Keith Shumaker parked one over the right field wall to make it a 5-1 ball game. 

The seventh inning is where things began to get really interesting. Jerrod Meyers came up to bat with the bases loaded and crushed a fastball over the left field wall. His first ever home run as a Major was a big one, the grand slam tied the game at five. The Majors weren't done there, William Chenoweth scored on a wild pitch and Shumaker again delivered, this time a sac fly to give the Majors a 7-5 lead. 

It seemed that on this Saturday morning, no lead was safe. The Eagles answered with five runs of their own to see-saw back on top 10-7. The big blow was a two-rbi single by Tony Morales. 

The Majors did not quit and pecked away at the Eagles lead. A Stephen Gates double scored Jerrod Meyers and made it 10-9. In the bottom of the ninth, Wes Perkins doubled home Keith Shumaker to tie the game at 10 and send it to extras.

The Eagles had a little bit more magic left in their bats. Scratching across three runs on a double and a pair of singles. This time, there was no answer from the Majors. 

Ozarks moves to 2-0 on the season. The Majors fell to 0-1 but have a quick turnaround, playing Huntingdon tonight at around 5:30. The Hawks lost 5-0 to Ozarks yesterday here in Jackson.
