JACKSON, MS- William Chenoweth doubled three times and drove in four and helped lead the Majors to an 18-11 win over the Chicago Maroons and a sweep of the three-game set.
The Majors took advantage of 20 walks issued by Chicago pitching, which aided greatly in the Majors scoring 10 runs in the first two innings. Chenoweth got his first of four RBI in the fourth on a fielder's choice. Lee Ogletree had a big two-run double as Millsaps led 4-0 after one inning.
Six more crossed the plate in the second as Millsaps built a big lead. Chenoweth, Annon Etheridge and Joe Stearns all doubled in the frame.
Millsaps added three more in the fourth and sixth and two in the eighth as the Majors also knocked out 15 hits in the win.
Ten difference pitchers combined for the victory. Daniel Ross got the start and went the first two innings, the junior allowed two hits and one run. The win went to Kelley Gunn, who pitched a clean fifth inning. William Chenoweth came into close out the ninth, getting the final two batters and securing the win.
The Majors improved to 16-4 on the season and will look to keep their winning ways going this weekend when they welcome in the Centre Colonels. First pitch for the double header starts at noon. There will be a ceremony to honor 2009 graduate Tait Hendrix. Hendrix passed away in an auto accident this past summer, his number 14 will be officially retired prior to the game.
