MILLINGTON- Freshman Daniel Ross took a shutout into the ninth and Kevin Wall drove in three as the Majors move on the 2013 NCAA South Regional with an 8-2 win over the Methodist (NC) Monarchs. 

The Majors struck early and often on Friday afternoon, scoring twice in each of the first two innings. Kevin Wall continued his hot hitting with a two-out, two-run double to score Keith Shumaker and Wes Perkins. The Majors led 2-0 after one. 

In a bizarre feat, the Majors scored twice without getting a hit in the second. A walk, error and hit by pitch loaded the bases. Two wild pitches scored William Chenoweth and Jerrod Myers. 

Daniel Ross kept the Monarchs' bats quiet. He side-stepped a hit and an error in the first and allowed just four hits heading into the ninth. His quick work allowed the Majors' offense to keep rolling. 

Kevin Wall drove in his third run of the game with a single scoring Wes Perkins in the fifth. A sacrifice and a wild pitch set up Isaac Glenn to single home Wall to make it 6-0 after five innings. 

Perkins would double home Stephen Gates in the sixth and score on a Blake Littlejohn single to round out the Majors scoring. Perkins and Wall led the Majors offense with three hits each, Wall drove in three runs while Perkins scored three times. 

After the Monarchs got on the board in the ninth, Ross handed the ball off to senior Zack Snider who got the game's final out. The Majors at 36-12 eliminated Methodist from the regional tournament. 

The Majors move on to a rematch with the Salisbury Sea Gulls. Salisbury beat Millsaps 11-5 yesterday. Game time is set for 7 p.m. but will most likely start closer to 7:30 or 8. Should the Majors win again this evening, they would advance to the regional title game at 3:30 on Saturday.
