a major way

No team in the state is hotter than Millsaps, which is 21-10 overall, 7-1 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and has produced the conference’s top hitter two weeks running. Wes Perkins earned the honor today after going 8-for-17 with three doubles, a home run and 12 RBIs in a 4-0 week (that included coach Jim Page’s 600th career victory). Perkins follows Ryan Zemke as the SCAC’s feted hitter. For the year, Perkins, a junior catcher, is batting .366 with four homers and 35 RBIs. He leads the club in homers and RBIs but trails Stephen Gates (.405) and Zemke (.384) among Majors regulars in average. The Majors are batting .324 as a team going into a Maloney Trophy game at Mississippi College on Tuesday night.
P.S. William Carey’s Kye Wilson earned pitcher of the week honors in the Southern States Athletic Conference after hurling a three-hit shutout at Belhaven on Saturday. Senior right-hander Wilson (5-2) helped the Crusaders clinch the SSAC series against the nationally ranked Blazers.
