Baseball: Millsaps rallies late to edge Panthers 4-3

Box Score

JACKSON, Miss. - Millsaps rallied in the eighth inning for a 4-3 win over LaGrange on Sunday at Twenty Field. The win gave the Majors (19-8) a sweep of their three-game weekend series with the Panthers (16-10).

The Panthers carried a 3-1 lead into the eighth inning. The Majors scored three runs with two outs off relievers Doug Scherer (1-2) and Mason Webster in the inning. Pinch-hitter Stephen Gates had a two-run single to tie the game and Wes Perkins' infield hit brought in the go-ahead run.

After spotting the Majors a first inning run, the Panthers tied the game in the third inning. Matt Hvizdzak (1-for-3, R) led off the inning with a single. He moved over to third on a sacrifice bunt and a base hit before scoring as David Miller (1-for-4, RBI) reached on an infield hit.

The Panthers went up 2-1 in the fifth inning. Brent Kinsey (2-for-5, R) singled with one out. He stole second with two outs and later scored on an error.

In the seventh inning, Kevin McCrary (2-for-5, R) and Kinsey had back-to-back singles with one out. McCrary scored on a two-out single by Robbie Shelton (1-for-3, RBI) for a 3-1 lead.

Trevor Tullock started and pitched into the seventh inning for the Panthers. He allowed a run on five hits, walked two and struck out six.

Scherer relieved Tullock with two outs in the seventh. He was charged with all three runs in the eighth inning. Mason Webster allowed two hits and had two wild pitches in the eighth before getting the third out.

The Panthers open GSAC play next weekend in a three-game series at Maryville.
