BIRMINGHAM, AL- The Millsaps Majors dropped a 6-0 decision to the Birmingham Southern Panthers in the opening round of the SAA playoffs. 

The Panthers advance to face the winner of the Rhodes/Berry game held at Berry. For the Majors, they prepare for the Mississippi College Choctaws on Tuesday. 

The Majors fell behind in the first inning as the Panthers chased Millsaps' starter Nathan Harrell. The lefty was touched for two runs and two hits and did not record an out before being lifted for James Perkins. Perkins would pitch four solid innings of relief, surrendering three runs in the fourth inning that made it a 5-0 ball game. 

The Panthers would add another run in the sixth to make it 6-0. The story of the evening was the Panther pitching. Miles Nordgren shutdown the Majors, allowing just four hits and one walk over eight innings. Millsaps would get a runner into scoring position four times but couldn't capitalize. Nordgren would get the win and Harrell was handed the loss on Sunday. 

The Majors now sit at 23-18 with the Mississippi College Choctaws coming up on Tuesday afternoon. First pitch from Clinton is set for 3pm.
