Blazers Drop Close Games in Day Two of Grand Slam Triangle Classic

RALEIGH, N.C. - The Belhaven Softball team fell twice on Saturday as they competed in the second day of the Grand Slam Triangle Classic. The Blazers lost both games by close margins as they fell to Susquehanna 8-6 and Christopher Newport 3-1. 

GAME ONE

In the first game of the day Belhaven jumped in front on Susquehanna when Sydney Runnels drove in a run on an RBI single and Macy Ziskin drilled a three-run home run in the bottom of the 1st inning.

The River Hawks answered back with a pair of runs in the top of the 2nd but the Blazers immediately got the runs back with Ellie Jones two-RBI hit in the same frame. From that point on though, it would be all Susquehanna as they grabbed a run in the 3rd inning, one in the 5th inning and three in the 6th inning to take the lead.

BELHAVEN PITCHERS

Taylor Heaton: 3.0 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB

BELHAVEN LEADERS

Ellie Jones: 2-4, 2 RBI
Anna Caime: 2-2, R

GAME TWO

The Blazers' second game of the day proved to be a pitcher's duel between two teams ranked inside the Top 10 of the NFCA Poll. Facing the reigning National Champs and current #1 team Christopher Newport, Belhaven struggled to mount sustained offense early in the contest. 

The Captains opened the scoring on a passed ball in the bottom of the 2nd and led 1-0 for the majority of the contest as Kennedy Carruth proved solid in the circle for Belhaven. In the top of the 6th Belhaven finally got on the board as Allie Gordon hit a solo home run, her first of the season. However Christopher Newport was able to walk it off in the bottom of the 7th on a two-run homer.
