ROME- The Berry Vikings took the rubber match of the three-game set versus Millsaps, winning Sunday's finale 12-7.
Berry did most of their damage in the second inning, striking for seven runs. The Vikings chased starter Nathan Harrell who couldn't get out of the second inning. The Vikings took advantage of walks and two hit batters to spark the rally.
The Majors would get one back in the third, as Keith Shumaker hit a homer to right field. The Majors' bats would be held silent until the eighth inning. Wes Perkins and Samuel Doucet each doubled and Andrew Rafferty cracked a two-run shot as the Majors struck for four runs. Berry would respond with three of their own in the bottom of the eighth, stretching the lead to six at 12-6.
Perkins would single home Jerrod Myers in the ninth, but it was not enough as the Vikings went on to win by the 12-7 final.
Harrell was tagged for the loss after lasting just one and two-thirds. The Majors now sit at 12-5 overall and 4-2 in conference. They will host the Belhaven Blazers on Tuesday night as the Maloney series gears back up this week. First pitch is set for 6pm.
