JACKSON, Miss. - The Belhaven Baseball team fell 8-0 to Concordia University in their first ASC game of the season. Friday's game was the first of a three-game series between the Blazers and Tornados with a doubleheader set for Saturday. 

Looking for a win in the first ASC game of the year, Hunter Sanford took the mound for the Blazers to start the game against Concordia and got through two innings without allowing a run before the visitors stuck for three runs in the top half of the third inning. Concordia would tack on three more runs in the fourth thanks in part to a two-run single hit with bases loaded. 

In the seventh, Concordia would add two more runs on a wild pitch and error giving them the 8-0 victory.

On the day, Belhaven finished with six hits as a team. Justin Milam finished 1-4 with a double, Julyan Urena went 1-3 with a double and Nick Lucido went 1-4 with a double. Hunter Sanford took the loss for the Blazers and falls to 1-1 on the season. He threw six innings, struck out eight while allowing seven runs. Noah Whatley threw an inning, striking out a pair. 

The Blazers will look to bounce back and chase a series win against Concordia on Saturday when they face the Tornados in a double-header. The first game is set for 11 AM.
