Game 1
In the first game of the afternoon the Majors rallied from a 4-1 deficit, and actually carried a 5-4 lead into the top of the 9^th inning. Unfortunately, the Tigers plated three runs to retake the lead at 7-5, and then held on for the win.

Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the 4^th inning Chase Callaway sent his second home run of the season over the right field wall to make it a 2-1 game.

After Sewanee answered with a pair of runs in the 5^th the Majors' offense really went to work in the 6^th.

Millsaps loaded the bases on a single by Wes Lassere, a walk by Callaway and a hit by pitch of Connor Woodall. After a pitching change, Jimmy Johnstone came through with a single through left side to score Lassere. In the next at bat Christian Cooper notched a RBI on a fielder's choice to make it a 4-3 ballgame. Later in the inning Millsaps tied the game at 4-4 when Woodall stole home.

The offense was not done there however. In the bottom of the 8^th inning Andy Page came through in the clutch with a two-out single to left center brining home Johnstone to give Millsaps a 5-4 lead.

Unfortunately, Sewanee had another answer as they scored three runs on five hits in the top of the 9^th to reclaim the lead at 7-5.

The Majors made things interesting in the bottom of the 9^th as they loaded the bases, but the Tigers held on to secure the 7-5 win.
