JACKSON, MS- Greg Matthews threw four scoreless innings and led four pitchers in a 5-2 win over the Hendrix Warriors, completing a three-game sweep.
Matthews threw the first four innings, allowing three hits and striking out three. The junior gave way to a trio of relievers, led by Jacob Mardick who threw two and two-third innings of shutout baseball while striking out three. William Chenoweth struck out two in a clean ninth to earn the save.
Isaac Glenn led the offensive charge, starting in the third inning. Glenn doubled home Keith Shumaker and Andy Page, the junior later came in on a passed ball to cap a three-run third.
Hendrix touched up James Perkins for two runs in the sixth. Perkins earned the win but surrendered a run-scoring single to James Martin and a sac fly to Ryan Ritz.
The Majors had an answer all weekend for Hendrix and answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame. Mike Rohrer tripled home JT Blair with a shot to right center. The freshman came into score on another passed ball.
The Millsaps' bullpen shutdown the Warriors, retiring the final nine batters in order to clinch the sweep.
