MAJORS RALLY PAST TIGERS

BIRMINGHAM, AL- The Millsaps Majors took advantage of six Sewanee Tiger errors in a 6-3 comeback win at the SAA Championship opening round hosted by Birmingham Southern. 

The Majors advance to a win-or-go-home match-up with the Hendrix Warriors on Saturday night. 

Zack Snider got the win, tossing three scoreless innings in relief of West Hammond who went the first six innings. Hammond was responsible for the three earned runs but struck out five in his six innings of work. 

The Majors had opportunites early, leaving the bases loaded in the first and failing to bring home Samuel Doucet who led off the second with a triple. 

The game went scoreless into the fifth inning when Sewanee broke through for their three runs. The Tigers put together four singles off Hammond to score a trio of runs to take the lead. 

The Majors responded in the fifth with Andrew Rafferty (pictured) driving home Keith Shumaker with a single after the junior had led off the inning with a double. Millsaps tied the game in the sixth using a walk and two Tiger errors to do so. Logan Patterson reached on a throwing error that scored Blake Littlejohn and Isaac Glenn. 

Glenn singled home William Chenoweth with what amounted to the game-winning run in the seventh after Chenoweth reached second on an error. A wild pitch and throwing error scored Glenn and Doucet singled home Zack Borne who had run for JT Blair. 

The Majors retired the Tigers in the eighth and ninth in short order to claim the victory. First pitch with the Hendrix Warriors will be set for 630. If the Majors win they advance to play Birmingham Southern on Sunday where they would have to beat BSC twice to win the opening round.
