MAJORS CRUISE BY CHOCTAWS

JACKSON- The Majors hung four in the first, including a two-run homer by Wes Perkins and coasted to an 11-3 win over the Mississippi College Choctaws on Tuesday. 

The win is the Majors' 23rd of the year and came in dominant form. Millsaps batted around in the first inning, scoring four times. Annon Etheridge hit a sac fly to deep center and William Chenoweth had an rbi single in the inning. 

Single tallies in the second and third made it 6-0 as Jerrod Myers and Samuel Doucet each had run-scoring singles. Keith Shumaker had three hits on the evening including a wall-scraping rbi double, he came around to score on an error by the center fielder off the bat of Perkins. 

In total, the Majors pounded out 15 hits on the evening, more than enough support for Zander Romano. The right-hander got the win, going the first five innings. Romano allowed two runs on just two hits, while striking out four. He combined with four relievers to close out the Choctaws. Senior Zack Snider came on to shut the door, throwing the final inning and a third. 

Millsaps sits at 23-8 going into a pivotal conference series with Birmingham Southern. The Panthers will come into Twenty Field ranked #20 in the latest NCAA Poll (Millsaps getting votes) and 14-1 in conference. The Majors beat the Panthers 21-5 in Piedmont, a game that did not count towards the SAA standings. First pitch from Jackson is Friday at 6pm.
