JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors will welcome back former players on Saturday for Alumni Day and a celebration of Millsaps baseball prior to the twin bill with the Sewanee Tigers. 

Alumni will be honored and recognized in a pre-game ceremony prior to game one on Saturday that has a noon first pitch. Millsaps baseball alum and hall of fame member Dr. Kirk Kinard will throw out a ceremonial first pitch just before noon. 

The alumni will help christen the new additions to Twenty Field, which are nearing completion. Typical ball park fare of hotdogs and popcorn will be provided free of charge to the fans starting an hour before the first pitch. 

The Sewanee Tigers come into the game having picked up their first conference win of the season last weekend over Centre. Michael Walker leads the Tiger offense with a .314 batting average and 19 runs driven in. Mike O'Neil leads the pitching staff with a 3.66 earned run average over 46 innings on the year. 

For the Majors, Keith Shumaker is coming off a conference player of the week honor. The junior All-American drove in nine runs for the Majors in their four games last week and will get the ball on the mound in one of the games on Saturday. 

Live stats will be provided free of charge and video will also be available for all three games of the series this weekend. Both are powered by Stretch Internet.
