MONTGOMERY, AL- The Millsaps Majors got five shutout innings and two hits from Keith Shumaker and held off a late Huntingdon rally in a 5-3 road win on Saturday. 

Stephen Gates and Annon Etheridge each had three hit games to fuel a 13-hit attack for the Millsaps' offense. 

Millsaps put a two-spot up in the third inning after an Adam Daniel double was followed by a Hawk error off the bat of William Chenoweth that pushed Daniel to third. Andrew Rafferty and Etheridge each singled to drive home runs as the Majors took the early lead. 

Shumaker allowed just two runners to reach base over the next two innings until the Majors' offense padded their lead in the fifth. Shumaker helped his own cause with a double and came into score on Blake Litttlejohn's fielder's choice that forced Isaac Glenn. Shumaker retired the Hawks in short order in the fifth to put himself in line for the win. 

Two more runs in the eighth proved to be worthwhile insurance. Rafferty and Chenoweth each singled and moved up to second and third after a wild pitch. Etheridge and Gates each singled home runs as the lead grew to 5-0. 

The Hawks would not go quietly, putting the first four batters in the ninth on base.  Zack Snider came into relieve James Perkins. After allowing a single,Snider limited the damage, allowing just two runs while striking out a batter and enducing a pair of groundouts, including the final out with the winning run at the plate. 

The Majors now sit at 2-0 on the young season while Huntingdon falls to 1-2. The Majors will look to close out a perfect weekend with a win over the Rhodes Lynx. First pitch from Huntingdon is set for 1pm and while Rhodes is an SAA opponent, this game will not be considered a conference game.
