The Stormy Petrels again added a run in the bottom half of the inning to trail 4-2 heading to the sixth.

The Majors would threaten in the top of the sixth with a runner at third, but a ground out and fly out ended the scoring chance. From there, the Stormy Petrels took their first lead of the game.

Down to their final three outs trailing 5-4, the Majors put on the rally caps and went to work in the seventh.

Lee Ogletree again got things started by reaching first on a throwing error by Oglethorpe. He then advanced to second on a wild pitch, putting the Majors in position to tie the game.

Oglethorpe, however, forced consecutive strikeouts to increase the pressure and intensity in the final inning. Down to their last out, the Majors called upon freshman Connor Woodall.

With ice in his veins, Woodall delivered on a clutch, game-tying RBI single that scored Ogletree. Woodall then stole second as Jacob Mardick stepped in to pinch-hit.

Mardick walked, but not before Woodall advanced to third on another Oglethorpe wild pitch. With runners on the corners, Logan Patterson stepped up to bat. With a potential series split and first conference win of the season just 90 feet away, Patterson delivered on a single to left field.

As Woodall crossed home plate the Majors completed the two-run comeback rally to lead 6-5 in the seventh. Only needing three outs for a win, Chris Guerin stepped in to pitch for Millsaps.

A ground out got things started, but Oglethorpe would threaten with a single to center field. From there, Guerin and the Majors' defense closed out the game to secure the 6-5 victory.
