JACKSON- Kevin Wall had four hits and Nathan Harrell struck out seven over six strong innings as the Majors rolled the Illinois Wesleyan Titans 8-1 on Tuesday.
The Majors took advantage of Titan miscues all evening long. Wes Perkins came into score on a wild pitch, the third of the first inning to put the Majors on the board. Kevin Wall lined a single through the left side and the Majors grabbed a 2-0 lead.
The Majors began to pull away in the fourth inning. After the Titans scratched across a run on a groundout, the Majors responded with two of their own in the bottom half to take a 5-1 lead. Isaac Glenn had an rbi groundout and Stephen Gates came into score on one of five Illinois Wesleyan errors.
The Majors would score three more times in the sixth to put the game out of reach. Samuel Doucet singled and two runs would eventually score on the play thanks to a pair of Titan errors. Doucet would come around to score on another Wall single and the Majors coasted into the finish line with an 8-1 win.
Nathan Harrell was magnificent tonight, striking out seven over six innings and firing a fastball consistently in the high 80s. Harrell picked up the win and Will Elmore nailed down his second save, tossing three innings of shutout baseball.
Millsaps sits now at 11-3 on the season and 3-0 in conference. They will travel to Rome, Georgia to take on the Berry Vikings this weekend for a three-game set.
