For the first time in over a decade, the Millsaps Majors baseball team has secured a regular-season conference championship.
Head coach Jim Page’s group traveled to Berry over the weekend, and with a three-game sweep of the Vikings, the Majors were able to capture the Southern Athletic Association regular-season crown. The feat marks the first time since 2013 that Millsaps (27-11, 13-5 SAA) ended with the best record in the conference and earned hosting rights heading into the SAA Tournament.

Millsaps comes out of regular-season play with a team batting average of .318 and a team earned run average of 5.26 – both second in the league. Right-fielder Bradley Pelle tops the conference’s individual statistics with 12 home runs, while designated hitter Evan Scott knocked seven out of the yard. Third baseman Gray Berry ranks third in the conference with a .432 batting average.
On the mound, left-hander Nick Tarantino leads the conference with nine wins and 75 strikeouts to go along with just one loss. Fellow lefty Wil Wood compiled five wins and one loss during the regular season to help lead the team’s pitching group.
Millsaps will host the SAA Tournament from May 8-10 at Twenty Field in Jackson. The full bracket is expected to be released in the coming days.
