JACKSON, MS- Washington U St Louis and the Millsaps Majors combined to toss 14 pitchers and the Bears outlasted the Majors 13-10 in eight innings in a rain shortened game at Twenty Field. 

A back-and-forth game turned up a notch after the two teams combined to score 13 runs in the seventh inning, turning a 4-4 tie into an 11-10 Bears' lead. Washington added two more in the eighth as insurance before mother nature washed out the final inning. 

Millsaps was on the comeback trail all afternoon long on Sunday. The Bears cashed in on two Millsaps' errors in the first inning and grabbed a 2-0 lead. 

The Majors got one back in the second as J.T. Blair singled home Annon Etheridge who led off the inning with a double. Washington made it 4-1 in the fifth on a two-run single off Daniel Gallarno. William Chenoweth answered the Bears' two runs with a two-run shot that just got over the left field wall in the bottom of the frame and tied in the sixth on a wild pitch. 

In the seven-run Washington seventh, the Majors used four pitchers, walked five, allowed four hits and comitted an error. The first nine batters reached base and Wash U led 11-4 after the half inning. In the bottom of the frame, the Majors needed just one hit to score six runs of their own. The Majors took advantage of five walks in the inning to make it 11-10 after the seventh. 

But the Bears would hang on as Mother Nature got the better of the two teams. Rainy, windy, cold conditions made the field unplayable and the two teams agreed to call the game. 

The loss drops Millsaps to 3-2 on the season, they will travel to Berry next weekend to open the conference season. The Vikings and Majors will play two on Saturday and one on Sunday.
