Box Score

MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Jason Hadley had three hits to become the school's all-time hit leader and Hunter Abrams drove in three runs to lift #22 Millsaps College to a 12-1 victory over Oglethorpe University in the opening game of their SCAC best-of-three divisional playoff series Friday night at USA Stadium.

The Majors improved to 32-9 overall, while the Stormy Petrels saw their season record slip to 10-31. The two teams square off in the game two on Saturday at 8 p.m. CDT. Links to tournament live stats and broadcasts is available here.

Hadley, who had two doubles and a single in four trips, now has 230 hits for his career - two more than Stuart Phillips totaled from 2001-2004.

Millsaps scored in every inning except the second, and probably ran themselves out of runs that inning with a caught stealing at third and an over-slide of second base that turned a stolen base into the third out of the inning.

Junior lefthander Travis Bogue improved to 7-1 and went the distance for the Majors. He allowed just four hits and one run while striking out eight with two walks.

The Petrels managed just a solo home run by senior catcher Robert Pavelka - a monster shot that cleared the huge scoreboard in left centerfield.

The Majors, meanwhile, had no trouble generating offense off of OU starter John Hale. Every Millsaps starter produced a hit except for Derrik Boland, but he reached base three times via two walks and an error.

Abrams, Justin Carter and Hunter Owen followed Hadley in the hit column with two safeties each as the Majors managed nine extra base hits.

Hale (3-6) got little help from his defense as the Petrels committed six errors, including three on one play. Of the eight runs that Hale allowed, just four were earned. The first-year right-hander allowed nine hits and struck out four while walking five.
