Blazers Drop Twin Bill at Hendrix

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 CONWAY, Ark. - The Belhaven Baseball team dropped a pair of one-run affairs to Hendrix in a twin bill on Friday. The Blazers lost the opener 3-2 before falling 8-7 in walk-off fashion in the second game of the doubleheader.

GAME ONE

Hendrix struck first in the bottom of the second inning with a two-run home run, but Belhaven responded the next half-inning as Aubrey Gathright singled in a run to make the score 2-1 in favor of the Warriors. The hosts got that run back in the bottom half of the third thanks to an RBI double.
 
Belhaven would strike again in the sixth inning as Matthew Charbonnet singled through the right side to score Gathright to draw within a run. Kyle McLaughlin reached base as the tying run in the ninth, but a flyout secured a 3-2 win for Hendrix.
