JACKSON- Harper Grier shut the door on the Petrels and Wes Perkins drove in the tying and winning runs as Millsaps topped Oglethorpe 3-2 to complete a sweep of a Saturday double header. 

The Majors took game one of the twin bill 10-0 in seven innings. Keith Shumaker had the complete game shutout, scattering six hits and striking out four. The Majors erupted for six in the seventh to put the run rule in effect in game one. 

It was a complete team effort, each of the starting nine had at least one hit and scored at least one run. The Majors took advantage of an Oglethorpe error, scoring an unearned run on a sac fly by William Chenoweth to score Kevin Wall. 

Three more runs came in to score in the fifth as Perkins doubled and came into score on a sac fly by Isaac Glenn. The Majors broke it open in the seventh, extra base hits by Chenoweth, Jerrod Myers and Stephen Gates put the final touches on the win.

Game two would not be as easy. Played through high winds and increasing rain, the two squads were scoreless into the fifth. The Petrels got to starter Daniel Ross, who pitched well but got the no decision.

Grier came in with the bases loaded and induced a sac fly and a ground ball to end the inning. The play of the game was on that ground ball as Kevin Wall went diving deep into the first base hole to snag the grounder and throw out the runner, saving at least one run. 

The bats, perhaps inspired by getting out of the jam, responded in a big way. Myers sacrificed runners over to second and third and Gates was hit by a pitch, loading the bases for the heart of the order. Shumaker delivered a single to score one run and Perkins brought home two more with a single of his own. 

That was enough for Grier who worked around a two-out double in the seventh to get the win. The Majors now stand at 19-7 and 9-3 in conference. They head on the road this week, travelling to Huntingdon on Tuesday and Sewanee for a weekend series.
