JACKSON, MS- The Majors committed six errors and got doubled up by the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels 10-5 on Saturday at Twenty Field.
Smokey Ethridge got the loss and had a most unusual stat line. The senior allowed seven runs, only three earned and struck out 10 in five and a third innings. The Majors struck out 16 Petrels in the loss.
Things unraveled in the fourth inning where Oglethorpe scored four times and the Majors committed three errors. The Majors booted two more balls in the fifth as Ethridge was chased from the game. Chris Guerin did a solid job in relief, as did Colin Peak and Kelley Gunn.
The Majors hit the ball hard on Saturday, but had little to show for it. Millsaps left 12 men on base in the ball game, including the bases loaded twice. Mike Rohrer had a pair of hits and Isaac Glenn scored twice to lead the offense.
The Majors now sit at 9-4 on the year and 5-2 in the SAA. The two teams will play two on Sunday, first pitch is set for noon.
