THE RUNDOWN

JACKSON, Miss – The Belhaven University baseball team was defeated on Wednesday night by the Huntingdon College Hawks by a final score of 14-3 in non-conference play.

Unfortunately, the Hawks scored nine unanswered runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings combined to claim the victory over the Green and Gold by a final of 14-3.
