JACKSON, Miss. – The Millsaps baseball team was victorious in a rematch against interstate foe MUW, 4-2 on Friday.  Senior third baseman Chris Hart boosted the Majors to victory with a go-ahead two-run homer to left field at Twenty Field.

Fresh off being named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week, left fielder Sam Pitre had another standout performance with two hits, two RBIs and a walk.

Millsaps used a platoon of pitchers to combine for a three-hitter. Junior ace Wil Wood allowed no hits, struck out four batters and yielded one run in 3.0 IP.
The Owls (5-9) struck first with an unearned run in the top of third thanks to a pair of errors by the Majors.
 
The Majors (12-6, 2-1 SAA) would answer and take a 2-1 lead when Pitre cranked a bases loaded two-RBI double to left center to score Bradley Pelle and Mark Petkovsek Jr.
 
After scoreless fourth and fifth innings, MUW tied the game in the top of the sixth. Millsaps once again reclaimed the lead in the bottom half of the inning when Hart blasted a two-run homer.

Ryan Erwin would record his third save of the season with two scoreless as the Majors would preserve the gritty win.

Millsaps will next host Berry College for a three-game conference matchup starting next Saturday, March 19. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. Live video and live stats will be available on gomajors.com.
