Majors whip Lynx 10-4 and 10-4 Saturday

With the threat of rain on Sunday, coaches from Rhodes and Millsaps decided to squeeze two nine-inning games in on Saturday at Twenty Field. It was the right call as showers covered the metro Jackson area on Sunday.

The Majors won both games 10-4 and are now 3-0 on the season with a 2-0 SCAC mark.

The Lynx picked up a run in the top of the first inning in game one on a Dan Vanaman single. But the Majors answered with a run of their own in the first.

Nick Crawford led off the Majors end of the innning with a hit by pitch, his third of the season. Ryan Skertich drove him in with a sacrifice fly to left.

Majors starter Doug Garner lasted 2.2 innings after allowing two runs on six hits yielding to pitcher Brandon Ingram after the Majors allowed two more runs in the third inning. Rhodes led 3-1 at that point.

The Majors came alive in the next three innings scoring four runs before picking up five runs in the seventh inning to take a 10-4 lead.

Skertich finished 2-5 with four RBIs and leftfielder Jason Hadley went 2-4 with two RBIs in the game one win. Crawford had scored three times and batted in two Majors. Derek Boland and Luke Morrow had one RBI each. Tal Hendrix (1.0 3.00) picked up the win in game one.

The Majors picked up two runs in the first inning of Game 2 as Skertich and Joe Blades drove in Crawford and Hadley on sacrifice flies. The Lynx took the lead though in the second with three runs on starter Todd Kindler.

Kindler (1-0 5.40) allowed just one other run in his 5.0 innings of work giving up seven hits and striking out three Lynx hitters while picking up the win.

Lynx starter Robert Falan allowed seven runs in five innings to get the loss.

Ben Wilson went 2-3 with two RBIs and Morrow picked up two RBIs. Hunter Owen had a pinch-hit double that plated two Majors runs and Skertich went 2-4 with two RBIs.
