JACKSON, MS- William Chenoweth blasted a two-run home run en route to a five RBI, four-run game and helped lead the Majors to a 16-3 rout of the Schreiner Mountaineers.
Chenoweth and Isaac Glenn each drove in five for the Majors, who improved to 2-0 in the win. The Majors gave starter Keith Shumaker some run support early, throwing up a crooked number in the first, scoring three times. Shumaker helped his own cause with a single before back-to-back doubles by Chenoweth and Glenn made it 2-0. Annon Etheridge drove in Glenn with a sac fly to cap the first-inning scoring.
After Schreiner scored two unearned runs in the second, the Majors cashed in two in the third on Chenoweth's blast to left field. Millsaps broke it open in the fourth, scoring four times on just one hit. The Majors took advantage of an error, balk, and a Glenn infield single. Glenn would break the game wide open with a bases clearing double in the fifth, capping off a five-run fifth inning.
Shumaker got the win, going five innings allowing just two unearned runs. The senior scattered four hits and struck out two. Five Majors combined to toss the final four innings of relief, allowing three hits and an unearned run.
The Majors at 2-0, now head to Millington, Tennessee for a trio of games next weekend. Millsaps will take on Emory, Webster and Wash U St. Louis, Friday through Sunday. First up are the #3 Eagles of Emory, first pitch is set for Friday at noon.
