MONTGOMERY, AL-The Huntingdon Hawks scratched across a run in the bottom of the ninth, spoiling a Majors' comeback in a 4-3 loss on Tuesday afternoon. 

The Majors had scored two runs in the eighth to tie the game at three before the Hawks' heroics in the ninth. 

This was an "all hands on deck" game from a pitching standpoint, with Millsaps throwing six pitchers, none more than two innings. The Hawks did much of the same, throwing five pitchers, typical of a Tuesday non-conference game. 

The Hawks starting the scoring in the second inning, stringing together a walk, two singles and a sacrifice fly off Matt Lipman for the early 1-0 lead. The lead did not last long as the Majors tied it in the top of third. Logan Patterson reached on an error, went to second on a wild pitch, to third on another error and scored on a Keith Shumaker single. The unearned run knotted the game at 1. 

The Hawks took a 2-1 lead in the fourth, using a walk, single and an rbi groundout to retake the lead. The Majors would threaten in the sixth inning, putting runners on second and third with one out but a strike out and line out ended the threat. 

Huntingdon stretched the lead to 3-1 in the seventh. An error, wild pitch, walk and sacrifice bunt put runners on second and third. A fielder's choice pushed across a run and Millsaps cut a runner down at home two plays later to keep it a 3-1 game. 

The Majors would tie the game in the eighth. William Chenoweth and Adam Daniel were each hit by pitches, then a double steal put them on second and third. Blake Littlejohn hit a sac fly that scored Chenoweth and Andrew Rafferty doubled, one of his three hits, to bring home Daniel. Rafferty later moved to third on a wild pitch but was cut down at home on an Annon Etheridge grounder.

In the ninth, the Majors got a runner to third with less than two out but couldn't bring him home. A strike out and fly out sent the teams to the bottom of the ninth tied at three. The Hawks put the first two runners on with a single and double, a walk loaded the bases and set up a force at every base. A single through the left side brought home the winning run as the Majors fell 4-3.

The Majors' overall record also falls to 4-3 while the Hawks improve to 4-3. Millsaps heads back to Alabama this weekend, travelling to Birmingham for a non-conference slate of games. First up are the Piedmont Lions at Birmingham Southern. First pitch on Friday is set for 6pm.
