MILLSAPS SLAMS TITANS

JACKSON, MS- Lee Ogletree and Isaac Glenn each popped grand slams and the Majors slugged out a 14-9 win over the Illinois Wesleyan Titans on Monday night at Smith-Wills Stadium. 

The teams agreed to move one of the two games set for this week to Monday and to play at Smith-Wills, a turf surface, because of the weather. 

Ogletree popped his grand slam in a six-run first inning. The Majors made the Titans pay all night for walks and errors and it started with Ogletree's line shot over the left field wall. Millsaps had loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter before the slam. 

Millsaps put up three more runs in the second after Keith Shumaker tripled down the right field line, scoring Glenn and William Chenoweth. Shumaker scored himself after the throw to third sailed into the stands. The Majors led 9-1 after two innings. 

The Titans slowly pecked away at the Majors' lead, scoring in five straight innings to eventually make it a 9-8 ball game.

Millsaps put the game out of reach in the seventh, scoring on a throwing error and loading the bases with a single and two more errors. Glenn then mashed the second slam of the game for Millsaps, a towering shot over the left-center wall. The Titans would score a run in the ninth, but did not threaten after the big seventh inning.

Chris Guerin scattered six hits over three and a third innings of relief to get the win. He allowed three runs and struck out three. 

Millsaps and Illinois Wesleyan are scheduled to play one more time this week. The game will be either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the forecast.
