JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors erupted for eight runs in the third en route to a 12-5 win over the Belhaven Blazers to move to 3-0 in the 2014 Maloney Series. 

Millsaps pounded out 15 hits in the win including a three-hit nights for Samuel Doucet and Keith Shumaker, who belted a three-run homer in the big third inning. 

Belhaven scored first, off a fielder's choice to take a 1-0 lead in the second inning off Majors' starter Nathan Harrell. The Majors answered by scoring on a fielder's choice of their own. William Chenoweth brought in Andrew Rafferty who led off the inning with a single. 

After Colin Peak worked a scoreless third, the Majors erupted in the bottom half of the frame. Keith Shumaker started it with a three-run home run over the right field wall off Andrew Gunn. The Majors then loaded the bases for a Blake Littlejohn single followed by a bases-clearing double by Stephen Gates. Annon Etheridge then reached on an error that allowed Gates to come in to score the eighth run of the inning. The Majors would lead 9-1 after three. 

Matt Lipman came in to relieve Zander Romano in the fourth and the freshman would work two scoreless innings to get the win. In a bullpen by committee game, the win goes to the most effective non-starting pitcher. 

Belhaven would make it 9-2 in the seventh, scoring on another fielder's choice. The Majors answered with two more in the bottom of the seventh with a two-run triple. Belhaven would add two more runs on a fielder's choice and a balk in the eighth. Millsaps added their final tally on a wild pitch after a William Chenoweth triple. 

The Majors move to 13-11 with the win while Belhaven falls to 26-9 on the year. The Majors will continue their homestand this weekend with the Berry Vikings making their first ever trip to Jackson. First pitch on a Saturday twin bill is set for 2pm.
