THE RUNDOWN

JACKSON, Miss.- The Belhaven University baseball team was swept by the Louisiana College Wildcats on Saturday afternoon at Smith Wills Stadium in ASC play.

The Wildcats scored the first run of the game when Noakes doubled down the left field line to score Johnson from first base. 

For the majority of the contest it seemed to be a pitcher's duel as Justin Milam and Robinson battled head-to-head.

In the top of the seventh inning, Brady Atkins came through for the Wildcats with a 2-run RBI single just underneath the glove of the diving first baseman. LC took the 3-0 advantage over the Blazers after seven complete innings.

The Wildcats tacked on four additional runs in the eighth inning, after some miscues from the Blazer Defense to give Louisiana College a 7-0 lead over Belhaven.

The Blazers could not plate a run in the contest, as they would ultimately fall by a final score of 7-0. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

Julyan Urena, AJ Bratton, Hunter White, and pinch hitter Steven Liuzza were the only Blazers that tallied a hit in the contest.

Steven Liuzza hit the only extra base hit when he drilled a double to left center field in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Justin Milam took the loss on the mound after pitching 6.1 innings on five hits and seven strikeouts.

 UP NEXT

The Blazers will return to the field on Tuesday, March 19 for the second game of the Cowboy Maloney Series at Twenty Field on the campus of Millsaps College. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
