SEWANEE, TN- Smokey Ethridge threw his second straight complete game, helping lead the Majors to a 6-1 win over the Sewanee Tigers, Keith Shumaker followed suit as Millsaps outlasted Sewanee 4-2 in eight innings to complete the sweep.
The senior allowed just six hits and struck out nine against no walks in his second straight dominant performance to improve to 4-2 on the season.
The Majors took advantage of three Sewanee errors, scoring five unearned runs in the victory. William Chenoweth had an RBI single as part of a two-run first inning as Millsaps took an early lead.
The Tigers scored their lone run in the third on the back of two singles, a sacrifice and a groundout. Millsaps broke the game open with a four-run fifth.
The Majors scored twice on two Tiger errors before a key two-run single by Lee Ogletree. Mike Rohrer brought in the final run for Millsaps and that was more than enough help for Ethridge. The righty allowed just three hits over the final four innings and never allowed the Tigers to threaten.
In game two, Keith Shumaker scattered 12 hits over eight innings as the Majors doubled up the Tigers 4-2 in extra innings.
Shumaker worked out of a bases loaded jam in the seventh inning to send the game to extras. Isaac Glenn went 3-4 in game two, including a lead-off double in the eighth. He came into score on a Wes Lassere sac fly, scoring what proved to the game-winning run. William Chenoweth continued a strong day with a run-scoring triple in the first inning to open the scoring.
The two teams will play another double header tomorrow. Only game one will count towards the conference standings with a non-conference, seven inning game to follow. First pitch is set for noon on Sunday.
