JACKSON, Miss. - The Belhaven Softball team finished off the season sweep of rival Millsaps on Tuesday as they took down the Majors in both ends of their midweek doubleheader. 

GAME ONE

Belhaven got off to an early start in the opening game on Tuesday night as they pushed across a run in the opening frame as Madi Miller delivered a leadoff single and advanced to second on an error. Miller then swiped third base before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Kennedy Carruth.

After both clubs went scoreless in the 2nd inning, Belhaven added three runs to their lead in the 3rd in an inning that started on Madison Miller's leadoff hit. With both Madison Miller and Madi Miller reaching to start the frame, Allie Gordon grabbed an two-RBI double and then scored later in the frame on Sydney Runnels' RBI double. 

Kennedy Carruth continued to dominate the Majors in the circle keeping the hosts off the board and then was able to help her own cause in the 5th inning with a solo home run, her 4th of the year. 

Belhaven tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the 6th as Allie Gordon picked up a 2-run home run before Natalie Parker closed the win out for the Blazers in the 7th.
