MAJORS CRUISE PAST COLONELS

JACKSON, MS- On a day where the Majors honored 2009 graduate Tait Hendrix, the Majors swept the Centre Colonels 11-2 and 2-0 to improve to 18-4 on the season.

Millsaps honored Hendrix in a pre-game ceremony where a monument that will be hung at Twenty Field was unveiled. His number 14 was also officially retired. Tait would certainly be proud of the way the Majors took care of business on Saturday.

Game One Box

A great crowd of over 500 fans, former teammates, friends and family of Tait Hendrix saw Isaac Glenn whack two home runs in game one en route to a five-RBI game. Glenn knocked a solo homer in the fourth and a two-run blast in the sixth.

Millsaps broke the game open in the eighth, erupting for eight runs off the Centre bull pen. The Majors capitalized on four walks and three Colonel errors in the inning all in support of Smokey Ethridge. 

The senior went the first eight innings and allowed seven hits and one earned run. He struck out three in the victory. Daniel Gallarno pitched a quiet ninth as the Majors took game one. 

In game two, Keith Shumaker was brilliant. The senior threw a complete game, four-hit shutout in the 2-0 win. Shumaker struck out one against an uncharacteristic three walks. 

Shumaker helped his own cause in the first, doubling off the right-field wall and scoring on a William Chenoweth base hit. Millsaps used the same script in the second inning to score another run as Andy Page doubled and was hit home by Logan Patterson. 

That was all Shumaker needed, allowing Centre to have two runners on just twice in the ball game. Millsaps improved to 18-4 in a tidy hour and thirty-two minutes. 

The Majors also sit at 9-2 in conference and will go for the sweep on Sunday. First pitch is set for noon.
