RHODES UPENDS MILLSAPS

MEMPHIS- The Rhodes Lynx scored nine runs over the last four innings to beat the Majors 11-6 on Friday and put Millsaps' plans for a regular season baseball crown on hold for at least one day. 

The Majors took an early 3-0 lead in the top half of the first. Millsaps got a run-scoring single from Samuel Doucet, a sac fly from Isaac Glenn and Wes Perkins scored on a wild pitch. Even after the Lynx scored in the bottom half of the inning, the Majors came back with a run in the top of the second. Keith Shumaker singled home Jerrod Myers to make it a 4-1 ball game. 

Rhodes would get on the comeback trail in the fifth, scoring three times. The Lynx would get a run- scoring single and grab a third run off an error. Rhodes would tack on two more runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth to pull away. 

Will Edwards gets tabbed with his second loss of the season to fall to 6-2. The Majors magic number to clinch the regular season remains at two. That number can be reached by any combination of Millsaps' wins or as it stands now, Birmingham Southern losses. 

The Majors and Lynx will square off again in game two on Saturday as Shumaker will take the mound for the Majors. First pitch is set for 1pm.
