JACKSON- Daniel Ross tossed a complete game two-hitter and the Majors hit early and often on Sunday, run ruling the Centre Colonels 13-0 at Smith-Wills Stadium.
In a game that was moved to the home of the Belhaven Blazers due to weather, the Majors adapted to their new home quickly. Isaac Glenn reached on a dropped third strike and Wes Perkins came into score to give the Majors an early lead.
Keith Shumaker doubled home two runs in the second and came into score on an error off the bat of Perkins, as the Majors began to pull away. The Majors continued to pile on as William Chenoweth hit another wall-scraping triple, that scored Annon Etheridge and made it 5-0. Jerrod Myers singled to score Chenoweth to make it 6-0.
The Majors blew it open with three more in the fifth as Stephen Gates singled home two runs and scored on a Wes Perkins single. Four more in the sixth put the exclamation point on the win. J.T. Newell, John Bourque and Blake Littlejohn all came off the bench to drive in runs. In total, the Majors pounded out 16 hits in the win.
That was more than enough support for Ross, who was masterful on Sunday. The right-hander went the distance, allowing just two singles, walking nobody and striking out three.
Millsaps took the rubber-match of the series and sits at 6-3 in conference and 14-7 overall. They welcome in the Wisconsin-Platteville Pioneers on Tuesday and Wednesday for a two-game non-conference series. First pitch is at 6pm.
