MAJORS GET SPLIT WITH VIKINGS

Mt. BERRY, GA- In a series that has been pushed back due to rain, the Majors earned a split with the Berry Vikings on Sunday in the first two games of a four-game set. 

The Majors outlasted the Vikings in game one, going into extras to pick up a 9-8 victory. The Majors side-stepped a seven run inning by the Vikings to pick up the W. The Majors had their bats rolling, busting out 17 hits in the win. The Majors busted out a five-run third, led by Kaitlyn Doles run scoring double. Katie Birdwell, Tiffany Havard and Emily Collins all had run scoring hits in the frame. 

Havard then followed that up with a solo home run in the fifth. After Berry mounted their comeback, Savannah Havard hit a sac fly to bring home Caroline Thompson to send the game into extras. The two teams went quietly in the seventh and the eighth. Casey Brown led off the ninth with a double and that brought home Collins. Collins got the Vikings out in order int he bottom half of the inning to clinch the win. Collins was sterling in relief, throwing four-plus innings of relief to get the win. 

In game two, the Majors battled the on coming rain and darkness in addition to the Vikings. Berry held  the Majors to just two hits in a 6-0 win that lasted just six innings due to the conditions. Birdwell got the loss, allowing just six hits, but four went for extra bases. The Majors and Vikings will resume the delayed series tomorrow, with games three and four, beginning at noon eastern.
