MOUNT BERRY, Ga. -- On Sunday, the Millsaps College baseball team returned to William R. Bowdoin Field on the campus of Berry College to wrap up their weekend Southern Athletic Association (SAA) series with the Vikings. 

The Majors took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st, but Berry scored the next 11 runs of the game unanswered to pick up the 11-1 run rule win. 

The loss drops Millsaps to 6-25 overall on the year. They are 2-12 in SAA play. The Vikings improve to 23-9 overall and 11-4 in league play. 

How It Happened
Brennan Ducote got the offense going in the top of the 1st inning with a one-out single. He stole second base, and advanced to third on a Mason Little infield single. Later in the inning, with Jackson Hailey at the plate, Ducote came home to score on a passed ball to give the Majors a 1-0 lead. 

Unfortunately, Berry quickly took control of the game in the bottom half of the inning. They scored three runs in the 1st to take a 3-1 lead they never relinquished. 

The Vikings added a run in the 4th, five more in the 5th and capped off the scoring with two runs in the 6th. Their pitching staff limited the Millsaps offense to just three hits over the final six innings to secure the 11-1 win. 

Key Contributors
Ductoe paced the offense with a pair of hits on the afternoon. Little, Chris Hart and Keaton Page also added base hits for the Majors.

On the mound, Jackson Russo turned in a solid outing out of the bullpen as he entered the game in the bottom of the 6th inning to stop a Berry rally. His final line showed an inning pitch, no hits allowed and one strikeout. 
 
What's Next?
The Majors will be back in action this week when they travel to Montgomery, Alabama for a midweek doubleheader with Huntinngdon College. Both games will be seven inning contests with the first pitch in game one set for 3:00 p.m.
