JACKSON, MS- The Majors got a three-run home run from William Chenoweth as part of a six-run third in a 9-4 win over the Berry Vikings on Sunday at Twenty Field.
Each team would get a run in the first inning with Berry scoring on a ground out and Andrew Rafferty driving home Logan Patterson to knot the game at 1.
The Vikings scored an unearned run in the second to take the lead before Millsaps erupted for a six-run third. The Majors sent 11 men to the plate in the frame. Keith Shumaker drove home Samuel Doucet to get the inning going but the big blow was the Chenoweth dinger. Patterson singled home two more as the Majors chased Berry starter TJ Montgomery in the inning, breaking the game open in the process.
Berry catcher Will Heard would make it a 7-4 game in the sixth with a two-run single but on Sunday, the Majors had an answer for everything that Berry had to offer. Shumaker doubled home Doucet to answer right back and make it a 8-4 ball game in the bottom of the inning.
Millsaps tacked on insurance in the seventh with Patterson getting his third rbi of the day with a fielder's choice. The Majors allowed just two Vikings to reach base the rest of the way in getting their 14th win of the season.
The Majors now sit at 14-13 on the year and 4-7 in the SAA. They cross the street on Tuesday to play Belhaven at Smith-Wills Stadium before hosting Rhodes next weekend. First pitch on Tuesday is set for 6pm.
