Belhaven’s Offense Leads to a 7-1 Victory over Iowa Wesleyan

THE RUNDOWN

The Belhaven University baseball team defeated the Iowa Wesleyan University Tigers by a final score of 7-1 at Smith Wills Stadium on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference play.

After back-to-back doubles by Evan Moore and Tucker Calhoun, the Blazers took the early 1-0 lead in the bottom half of the first inning. Calhoun took third on a stolen base as Trip Benson had an RBI groundout to make the score 2-0. Still in the first inning, Logan Walters doubled to right center, stole third base, and eventually would score on a passed ball to bring the score to 3-0 after one complete inning.

The score remained tied in the second inning. Iowa Wesleyan scored a run off of a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-1 in the top of third inning. 

Steven Liuzza hit an RBI groundout and scored Nick Lucido to give the Blazers the 4-1 advantage over the Tigers after four full innings.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Blazers tacked on two additional runs off of a Sacrifice Fly from Steven Liuzza and a Julyan Urena RBI-double to score Nick Lucido to bring the score to 6-1.

After the seventh inning stretch, the Blazers extended their lead to 7-1 when Logan Walters brought home Justin Milam off of a single to center field. 

The score halted for the rest of the ballgame, as Belhaven defeated Iowa Wesleyan by a final score of 7-1 in non-conference action.
