MAJORS FINISH OFF SWEEP

JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors  pounded out 13 hits and 11 runs in an 11-1, seven-inning win over the Sewanee Tigers on Sunday at Twenty Field. 

The win completes the sweep for the Majors who moved to 9-8 in SAA play and 19-15 overall. Nathan Harrell got the win, going the first four innings and allowing two hits and one run while striking out three. 

Millsaps scored in each of the first five innings on Sunday. The Majors answered the Tigers' lone tally in the first with a four-run outburst. After a walk and a hit batter, Andrew Rafferty singled home Stephen Gates. Isaac Glenn brought home a run on a fielder's choice while Blake Littlejohn and Annon Etheridge (pictured) each brought home a run. 

The Majors pounded out four more hits in a three-run second as the lead grew to 7-1. Again, Rafferty delivered the big blow, a double that hit 15 feet up the 20-foot,right-field wall. A sac fly in the third and a Logan Patterson single in the fourth made it 8-1 and 9-1, respectfully. 

Millsaps put the run rule in effect in the fifth as Samuel Doucet brought home a run on a fielder's choice and Seth Trulock brought in a run with a bases loaded walk. Each of the Major starters on Sunday reached base and each either scored or drove in a run in a balanced offensive effort. 

Zack Snider, Colin Peak and Andrew Rafferty each worked a scoreless inning in relief to close out the game. 

This was the final home conference series of 2014 for the Majors, who travel to Oglethorpe next weekend for the season finale. Millsaps will wrap up their home season with the Belhaven Blazers on Tuesday night at 6pm. The Majors win the Maloney Trophy if they win on Tuesday.
