JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors rallied for four in the ninth, but it wouldn't be enough, falling 10-7 to the Belhaven Blazers on Tuesday at Smith-Wills Stadium. 

The Majors got a three-hit four rbi day from Keith Shumaker to pace the offense and two scoreless innings from Nathan Harrell to headline the pitching on a bullpen-by-committee day. 

The Majors started quickly as Shumaker hammered a double to score Logan Patterson. Andrew Rafferty followed with a single to score Samuel Doucet as the Majors scored twice in the first, but left the bases loaded. 

After Belhaven tied the game on an unearned run in the second, they surged ahead with a four-run third inning. The big play in the inning was a bases clearing triple to give the Blazers a 6-2 lead. 

Shumaker singled home another run in the fourth as Patterson came across the plate. On Tuesday night Belhaven always seemed to have the answer as the Blazers responded with two more in the bottom of the inning to go up 8-3. It became 10-3 in the seventh on two run scoring singles off Zander Romano. 

In the ninth, the Majors got on the comeback trail. Taz Watson blistered a double down the left field line that scored Joseph Stearns and Adam Daniel who had walked. After a hit batter and a single, Shumaker delivered his third and fourth rbis on a bases loaded single to make it 10-7. The Majors rallied would end there on a Rafferty groundout. 

The Majors loss puts them at 14-14 overall on the year and 3-1 in the Maloney Series for 2014. The two local rivals will meet again on April 15th at Twenty Field. Millsaps is back in action on Saturday with a double header against the #19 Rhodes Lynx. First pitch for a Saturday twin bill is set for 1pm.
