Blazers Baseball Grabs Rivalry Win Over Millsaps

JACKSON, Miss. - The Belhaven Baseball team grabbed a come-from-behind win over crosstown rival Millsaps College on Wednesday marking a fourth straight road victory for the Blazers. 

It was Belhaven who started the early scoring with a run on an RBI single from Kyle McLaughlin that scored Nick Lucido from second base in the opening frame. The hosts were quick to answer though scoring the tying run in the bottom of the 1st and the Majors would then go on to take the lead in the 2nd inning with a pair of runs. 

In the 3rd inning the Majors added a run to their lead on a sac fly and held a 4-1 advantage after four inning. In the 5th inning the Belhaven bats sparked to life scoring a run on an RBI base hit by Matthew Charbonnet before Nathan Herron tied the game with two RBI on a double to left field. 

Once again Millsaps was able to respond quickly taking back the lead on a pair of runs in the bottom of the 5th inning that put them in front 6-4 over the Blazers. Belhaven cut the Majors lead down to just a run on a bases loaded walk by Dawson Albin before flipping the script of the game in the top of the 8th inning. Caleb Whittle tied the game in the 8th with a solo shot to left field just before Matthew Charbonnet gave Belhaven the lead and scored what would be the winning run on a missile to left field for his first home run of the season.

Belhaven added an insurance run in the 9th inning on a sac fly from Hunter Estes and Logan Goodreau was able to hold the Millsaps' bats quiet in the final third of the game to secure the Blazers' win.
