Tigers Fall as Millsaps Clinches SCAC Series

Jackson, Mississippi - Millsaps College clinched the weekend Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series with an 18-5 win over Trinity University's baseball team on Sunday afternoon.

Trinity (14-13, 5-3) fell behind early and was never able to come back from that deficit.  Millsaps scored three runs in the first and though the Tigers answered with a run in the second, the Majors would add four more runs in their next inning. 

The Tigers did cut the lead to two runs (7-5) with a four-run third, but Millsaps shut the door on this game with a five-run third to take a 12-5 lead.  The Majors put together another five-run inning and never looked back in this one, taking three out of four games over the weekend.

Trinity's offense was held to just five hits in the game, and Bobby Zabor was the only Tiger player with an extra-base hit.  Zabor finished 1-3 with one run scored. 

The Tigers return home on Tuesday for a doubleheader against Loyola-New Orleans at 5:00 p.m., followed by another weekend series in conference play.  Trinity will host Austin College from Thursday through Saturday in the SCAC series.
