No. 7 UT Tyler Slips Past Millsaps, 6-3

JACKSON, Miss. (Mar. 28, 2017) – Facing its third top-10 ranked opponent of the season, the Millsaps College baseball team could not come up with enough offense against No. 7 University of Texas at Tyler this afternoon, falling to the Patriots, 6-3. Senior Seth Trulock (Taylorsville, Ill.) drove in two of the Majors' three runs.
 
Millsaps (11-15) grabbed a quick 1-0 lead in the first when junior Andy Page (Warrenton, Va.) led off with a single, eventually moving to third on a wild pitch and a groundout. With a runner on first and one down, he then scored when UT Tyler (22-4) could not complete a double play.
 
In the third the Patriots evened the score when a pair of base hits led to a sac fly off the bat of Trenton Buchhorn. UT Tyler then grabbed the lead in the fifth with a pair of runs when the Patriots saw Graham Welch follow a leadoff walk with a home run to right center.
 
Miles Thomas started for the Patriots and surrendered just the first inning run over five innings of work to pick up his first win of the season. Millsaps pulled back within a run off the UT Tyler bullpen in the sixth when Trulock followed a double from sophomore Brennan Ducote (Lafayette, La.) with an RBI single to make it 3-2.
 
UT Tyler put another pair of runs on the board in the seventh when it took advantage of a Millsaps error to score a pair of unearned runs on an RBI single by Ben Romines and a sac fly from Josh Burns. Millsaps closed the gap again in the eighth when Trulock delivered another RBI single that brought in junior Wes Lassere (Thibodaux, La.), who just slid under the tag at home to score, pulling the Majors within two at 5-3.
 
In the top of the ninth Buchhorn homered to give the Patriots a three-run lead again before Reese Read came in to close it out on the mound, giving up a pair of walks but keeping the Majors from scoring to pick up his sixth save of the season.
 
Millsaps returns to Southern Athletic Association (SAA) play this weekend when it hosts Hendrix College in a three-game set. The series will start with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 1 at 1:00 p.m. at Twenty Field.
