JACKSON- The Millsaps Majors overcame a pair of four-run innings from the Warriors and came back to top Hendrix 11-8.

That set up the big blow of the inning, a three-run home run by Keith Shumaker. The Warriors would climb back in the game scoring four unearned runs with two outs in the third. That chased starter Daniel Ross who was able to get out of the inning, but didn't come back for the fourth.
Hendrix would score four more in the fifth, chasing reliever Zander Romano. Again, the Warriors took advantage of miscues in the field by the Majors and le 8-5 after a four run fifth.
The Majors comeback would start in the fifth, Will Lawrence had an rbi groundout but the Majors would leave the bases loaded. Wes Perkins would get the Majors within one with a solo home run over the right centerfield wall. That would set up the Majors in the eighth inning.
Perkins would tie the game with an infield single to score Isaac Glenn. Samuel Doucet would single home two more to give the Majors the lead. Kevin Wall would add a sacrifice fly to give the Majors their 11-8 lead.
