MAJORS CLEAN UP ON WEEKLY AWARDS

JACKSON, MS- After a 3-1 week and a key series win over Birmingham Southern, the Majors' Smokey Ethridge, Isaac Glenn and Keith Shumaker were all recognized for their efforts. 

Ethridge and Shumaker were named the SAA pitcher and player of the week, respectfully, while Glenn joined the duo on the d3baseball Team of the Week. 

Ethridge was dominant on Friday as the Majors' took game one of the three-game series with the Panthers, who came in ranked #4 in the nation. The senior right hander threw a complete game, two-hit shutout while striking out 10 batters. Smokey walked nobody and allowed just two runners to reach scoring position, one of which reached on an error. 

Shumaker and Glenn helped pace the Majors' offense this past week. Shumaker went a ridiculous 11-15 at the plate (.733) and ran his hitting streak to 17 games. The senior reached base 14 times in 18 at-bats and scored eight runs. Keith hit three doubles, stole a base and drove in three runs. 

Glenn was a not-too-shabby 9-15 (.600) at the plate over the four games last week. The junior parked his fourth home run of the season, a two-run home run in the Millsaps' 9-8 win on Saturday over BSC. He reached base 11 times in 17 at-bats, scoring seven times and driving in three runs as well. 

The Majors rose to #12 in the latest d3Baseball poll and #10 in the latest d3 coaches' poll. Millsaps travels across the street to Smith-Wills Stadium on Wednesday to take on the Belhaven Blazers in the Majors' first game of the 2015 Maloney Series. First pitch from Smith-Wills is set for 6pm.
