JACKSON-The Majors used an eight-run first inning to set the tone on Saturday, cruising to a 13-1 win in seven innings against Hendrix. 

Warriors pitcher Ted Smoyer retired the first batter of the game...and that was it. The Majors touched Smoyer up for seven earned and four hits before chasing him after just eight batters. The Majors took advantage of a wind that was blowing straight out of Twenty Field on Saturday afternoon. Will Lawrence rocketed a single, Andrew Rafferty a double and William Chenoweth a mammoth 3-run homer to put the game out of reach early. 

The Majors didn't stop after one. Rafferty singled home another run and Kevin Wall cleared the bases with a wall-scraping triple. Samuel Doucet singled in the third to continue the onslaught and Rafferty continued his fine day at the plate with an rbi double. In total, the Majors rapped out 15 hits as they moved to 2-0 in conference play. 

That was more than enough support for Keith Shumaker who pitched six scoreless innings. He allowed four hits, three of which were erased on double plays. Shumaker walked nobody and struck out one as he picked up his first win of the season in his first start. 

The Majors will go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon at noon. Please note that daylight savings time goes into effect Sunday morning and to spring your clocks ahead one hour.
