MAJORS TOP #8 GORLOCKS

JACKSON, MS- Keith Shumaker tossed eight strong innings and led the Majors to a 5-2 win over the eighth-ranked Webster Gorlocks on Saturday at Twenty Field. 

Shumaker was brilliant on Saturday, going eight innings, allowing seven hits and one walk while striking out four. Shumaker shook off a lead-off double and first-inning run to pick up his second win of the season. 

Webster manufactured their first-inning run using a pair of sacrifices after the double to take a 1-0 lead. Millsaps answered in the second with a three-spot, started by a hustle double from Annon Etheridge. The senior's double started a string of four-straight hits that led to an RBI walk from Samuel Doucet and a sac fly from Shumaker. 

Millsaps added insurance in the fifth as Isaac Glenn drove home with a sac fly after Doucet  led off the inning with his own two-base hit. 

Webster scored again in the eighth and threatened for much more than the run they scored. After a lead-off double scored, a pair of errors put two runners on but Shumaker got pinch-hitter Connor Hogan to chop back to the pitcher and end the threat. Shumaker stranded nine Gorlocks over his eight innings. 

The Majors added insurance in their half of the eighth on an RBI double from Lee Ogletree. William Chenoweth worked a clean ninth to earn the save as Millsaps improved to 3-1. 

Millsaps now sits at 3-1 and will wrap up the Millsaps/Rhodes Classic on Sunday when they take on the Washington University (St. Louis) Bears. First pitch from Twenty Field is set for 1PM.
