MAJORS TAKE CARE OF PETRELS

JACKSON- The Majors scored seven in the seventh to pull away from the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels and cruised to a 13-3 run rule win on Saturday afternoon. 

The win sets up a re-match with Hendrix on Sunday at noon, if Millsaps wins, the two teams play again Sunday afternoon. 

Daniel Ross (pictured) got the win going five innings, allowing three runs on six hits and striking out one. 

The freshman righty got plenty of help from the Majors' offense. Wes Perkins doubled home Stephen Gates to get things started early and the Majors grabbed a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first. The Majors served as the visiting team per NCAA rules.  

After Oglethorpe tied it, the Majors added another single tally in the second. Jerrod Myers tripled home Blake Littlejohn who had reached on an error. The Majors again cashed in on a triple and errors in the fourth. William Chenoweth tripled and later scored on a throwing error by the pitcher that also scored Jerrod Myers. 

The Majors would erupt in the seventh and put this game to bed early. Perkins singled home Keith Shumaker who tripled, he would later be forced home on a hit by pitch to Littlejohn with the bases loaded. The Majors again scored on a pair of throwing errors by the Oglethorpe pitching staff. When the dust settled, the Majors sent 11 to the plate and had put the game away. 

The Majors with the win reached the 30-win plateau for the year. First pitch against Hendrix is set for noon central tomorrow.
