BIRMINGHAM, AL- The Millsaps Majors had a comeback win earlier on Saturday but fell victim to one on Saturday night, falling to the North Park Vikings 5-4 on Saturday night at Birmingham Southern.  

North Park scored four unearned runs in the top of the ninth to erase a 4-1 Majors' lead. Millsaps put the lead-off runner on in the bottom of the ninth but was picked off first base to end the game. The loss spoils a great start from Keith Shumaker who went the first eight innings scattering five hits, allowing one unearned run and striking out six. 

Millsaps put up single tallies in each of the first two innings to take the lead. Shumaker doubled and was brought in on a Samuel Doucet single. In the second, the Majors took advantage of two errors and single to load the bases. Andrew Rafferty walked to bring in a run but a double play ended the threat with just one run scoring. 

The Vikings scratched across their lone run against Shumaker in the fourth. North Park took advantage of an error to start the inning, with the run scoring two batters later on a single up the middle. Millsaps answered in the fifth on the back of a Stephen Gates double and a sacrifice fly from William Chenoweth. 

The Majors added another run in the eighth. Chenoweth led off by being hit by a pitch, moved to second on a sacrifice and stole third. Blake Littlejohn then singled home Chenoweth as the Majors led 4-1. 

In the ninth, Chenoweth came in to pitch for Shumaker. After a lead off single, the fifth Major error of the evening put runners on first and second. A single loaded up the bases only to see the Majors get two quick outs without the runners advancing. Back-to-back singles cleared the bases and tied the game at 4. Another walk chased Chenoweth and brought in Zack Snider with the bases reloaded. Snider hit a batter to force in what would be the winning run. The Majors were picked off to end the ninth and fell to 5-5. 

The Majors will look to rebound on Sunday afternoon against Blackburn. The Majors defeated the Beavers 13-6 on Saturday, first pitch is set for 2pm.
