JACKSON, Miss. - Usually for a doubleheader in the American Southwest Conference, the first game is a seven-inning affair, and the second is the traditional nine-inning contest. In game one of the twin bill, nothing would be settled until the bottom of the 11th with a walk-off home run by Tee Payne to lift BU to a doubleheader sweep of Concordia Texas, 3-2 and 5-4, Friday night inside Smith-Wills Stadium. 

Game 1: Belhaven 3, Concordia Texas 2 (11 innings)
Concordia Texas struck first on offense in the second inning off of Belhaven starter Tanner Cable. Both runs were unearned due to an error by BU to start the inning. 

Belhaven was unable to figure out Concordia starter Jake Valadez right away. The Blazers tried to muster a scoring threat in the third.

After Gabe Veith grounded out to start the inning, Julyan Urena followed with a seven-pitch, full count walk. After JG Miley reached base on error, Terrell Hodges moved Urena and Miley to third and second base, respectively, on a groundout. Stephen Sexton could not extend the inning with a groundout to leave the runners in scoring position. 

In the fifth, the Green and Gold would finally get on the board. With one out, Urena reached base on a CTX fielding error. Two batters later, Hodges singled to put runners on first and second with two outs.

After a pass ball moved the runners up 90 feet, Sexton walked to load the bases. Concordia would go to the bullpen, and following the pitching change, Daniel Ammirati hit a slow roller to the shortstop, and he was able to beat the throw to extend the inning and score Urena from third to break the shutout. 

Will Costinett would follow with a single to score Hodges from third to tie the contest at two runs apiece, and that is where we would stay for a while. 

Concordia tried for a rally in the eighth inning. Race Mellman led off the inning, and the ASC leader in stolen bases stole second. After Cable got the next two batters to strike out and ground out, respectively, Cable's final batter would draw a walk. Reliever Austin Douglas came in after the walk and got the fly out to end the inning. 

In the 11th, after a strikeout, Payne delivered a solo shot over the left field wall for the walk-off win. 

For Payne, it was his first homer of the year and the second of his career. 

Cable went 7.2 innings with a career high in pitches with 125, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and six walks, while fanning seven.

Douglas (1-1) earned the win with 3.1 innings of relief, allowing two hits and striking out three. 

The is the first double-digit extra inning game for Belhaven since an 11-inning walk-off win against Millsaps on Apr. 7, 2015. 

Game 2: BU 5, CTX 4
In game two of the twin bill, the Blazers (15-9, 6-5) got a five-run inning in the second, all with two outs.

Kreg Garner got the scoring going with a solo shot to right field for his second homer of the year. 

Miley kept the inning going with a single and later stole second. 

Bolton would follow by reaching base on an error. Miley was able to round third and score on the play. 

Then the doubles brigade would commence with Hodges, Stephen Sexton and Ammirati hitting back-to-back-to-back doubles to give BU the 5-0 lead. 

In the fifth, Concordia (15-10, 7-5), who had been held scoreless for 13 consecutive innings, broke through to break Landon Boyd's scoreless inning streak. The streak ended at 16.1 innings with an RBI groundout.

CTX scored three in the fifth and one in the sixth to cut the deficit to one run, 5-4, headed into the seventh. 

The Tornados would load the bases in the seventh, but the duo of Chase Birch and Tyler Dowdy ended the ball game to complete the doubleheader sweep. 

Boyd (2-0) went five innings, allowing three runs, two earned, and struck out seven in the win. 

Matthew Brown (3-2) went 1.2 innings, allowing five runs, one earned, while striking out two for Concordia.

The Green and Gold will look for the sweep on Saturday against Concordia. First pitch is scheduled for 10 a.m. from Smith-Wills.
