MAJORS HANDLE CHOCTAWS

CLINTON, MS- Seven different Majors scored as Millsaps used a balanced attack in an 8-3 win over the Mississippi College Choctaws on Wednesday in Clinton. 

The Majors also got rbis from five different players and four pitchers combined on a six-hitter as the Majors picked up their eighth win of the season against five defeats. 

Mississippi College scored first, scrapping together a walk and single to take an early lead against sophomore Daniel Ross. It would be the only run Ross would allow in his three innings of work. Millsaps went right to work offensively in the second using a pair of walks sandwiched around a double to load the bases. A hit batter, single and ground out brought home three runs before Adam Daniel stole home to make it 4-1 Majors after two. 

The teams traded runs in the fourth as Ross gave way to Zander Romano. Much like Ross, Romano settled down after his first inning of work and picked up the win over his four innings. The Majors went up 6-2 in the sixth, scoring without a hit. Millsaps got two walks, a wild pitch and a William Chenoweth sac fly to push across a run. Adam Daniel struck again in the seventh, popping his first collegiate homer over the left field wall. 

The teams again traded runs in the eighth and Hayden Peiker worked around a two-out single to lock up the win with a scoreless ninth. 

Millsaps has taken the season series from the Choctaws, having won the first two games. The teams will meet again in Clinton on April eighth. The Majors will head to Birmingham this weekend for a three game set with the #23 Birmingham Southern Panthers. The two ranked teams will play a double header Saturday before a solo game on Sunday. First pitch on Saturday is set for 1pm.
