JACKSON, Miss. – Edgewood University baseball kicked off their 2026 campaign down south Friday. They opened up a three-game series against the Millsaps Majors. The Eagles (0-1) struck first, but the Majors (2-2) pulled ahead late with a barrage of home runs to claim a 5-4 victory.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Edgewood University made Millsaps pay for errors early. Carter Kelley singled to left field to bring in a pair of unearned runs in the second, while Aidan Kammer sent an RBI double to right field to add on another in the third.
 
- The two squads exchanged scoreless innings in the middle of the game, though the Eagles were unable to capitalize on a runner on second with no outs in the fourth and a runner on third with one out in the fifth.
 
- While Edgewood University came back to life with a solo shot to left center from Kyle Prindle in the seventh, the Majors rallied in a big way. A two-run homer to left field in the bottom of the seventh put them on the board. They would pull ahead in the eighth, a solo shot to right field and another two-run home run, this time to left center, gave them a 5-4 lead after eight innings.
