JACKSON, MISS. – The Edgewood College Eagles and the Millsaps Majors entered the rubber match of a three-game series Sunday tied at a game apiece. The Majors (4-2) leveraged a pair of home runs to help take an early advantage, while the Eagles (1-2) found momentum late with small ball. The comeback fell short as Millsaps won the game and series in 7-5 fashion.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Majors got on the board early, a single up the middle the lone run from either team in the first two innings.
 
- A fielding error with two outs gave Millsaps another chance at life in the third, which turned into a two-run home run over the left field fence. The fourth inning would see another home run by the Majors out to left field, before a sacrifice fly in the fifth left them ahead 7-0.
 
- Edgewood College would not go quietly into the night. Kyle Prindle took advantage of another Eagles' sticky base running situation to put Edgewood College on the board in the sixth.
 
- Brevin Brisack tallied the first RBIs of the day for the Eagles in the eighth, a two-run single down the left side cutting the lead to four, before Brisack took advantage of a wild pitch to come home.
 
- With stellar relief pitching holding Millsaps scoreless late, Edgewood College entered the ninth still down three.
