CONWAY, AR- Senior Stephen Gates picked up his 200th career hit but the Majors' rally in the final innings fell short in a 3-1 loss to the Hendrix Warriors on Sunday. 

Gates' rbi single in the eighth marked his 200th career hit, becomming just the ninth Major to do so since 1990. The senior was 1-2 on Sunday, reaching base all four times thanks to two walks and an error. 

Daniel Ross pitched well on Sunday, getting the tough luck loss after throwing five innings of four-hit baseball allowing two runs, only one of which was earned. He fell to 2-2 on the season. 

That earned run came in the first inning thanks to a two-out double from the Warriors' Matt Simmons. 

The Majors had opportunities early to score, loading the bases in the first and getting a runner to third in the third inning. A strike out in the first and pop-out in the third ended the threats. 

The Warriors scored an unearned run in the fifth off a sac fly. An error by Ross on a sacrifice bunt prolonged the inning, allowing the unearned run to score. History repeated itself in the seventh, another error off a sacrifice led to the Warriors' third run to score on a double play. 

Gates singled home the Majors' only run on Sunday, shooting the ball the other way into right field to score Blake Littlejohn. But the Majors would have to settle for one and stranded two more runners in the eighth. All told, Millsaps left 14 runners on base on Sunday. 

Millsaps would threaten again in the ninth using a single, walk and double steal to put runners on second and third. With the tying run in scoring position, Blake Littlejohn flew out to right to end the game. 

Millsaps drops to 12-11 with the loss and 3-5 in the SAA. A makeup game with the Belhaven Blazers awaits the Majors on Wednesday. First pitch from Twenty Field is set for 4pm.
