Blazers Split Doubleheader, Take Series Win Against LeTourneau

JACKSON, Miss. – The Belhaven Baseball team split their Saturday double-header against LeTourneau University with a 7-1 win in the first game of the day and a 7-4 loss in the nightcap. With the win the Blazers clinched the series win over the YellowJackets two games to one. 
 
GAME ONE
 
In the first game of the afternoon and the second of the series it was the Blazers who struck first after Caleb Whittle scored from third on a wild pitch in the first inning. 
 
In the third inning Belhaven was able to take a firmer hold on the game picking up four runs in the frame to lead 5-0. The first run of the inning came when Chase Kitchens scored on a wild pitch and was followed by a run from Gabe Inman who also scored on a successive wild pitch. 
 
Belhaven picked up two more runs in the inning on a throwing error by the LeTourneau first baseman that saw Kyle McLaughlin and Hunter White cross the plate. 
 
The Blazers went on to add another run in the fourth inning with Dawson Albin scoring on a passed ball and then took a 7-0 lead in the fifth inning following an RBI triple from Nathan Herron which scored Adam Leonard.
