JACKSON- Will Elmore threw five and two thirds innings of one-run ball and the Majors forced game three with a 2-1 win over the Hendrix Warriors.
The win puts the Majors and Warriors each at 2-1 in the SAA double-elimination tournament.
Wes Perkins drove in Keith Shumaker with a single to right center in the third. Shumaker beat the relay throw home to give the Majors a 1-0 lead.
Jerrod Myers drove home Isaac Glenn on a bases loaded ground out to score what would be the game-winning run. That would be enough offense for the Majors' pitching staff.
Elmore got the win going the first five and two-thirds. Zach Snider threw one pitch to close out the sixth and get out of a jam. He got a hold after two innings of one hit baseball. West Hammond got the save, closing out the Warriors by getting the final four outs.
The Majors and Warriors will play for the right to face Birmingham Southern who advanced out of the bottom half of the bracket.
