PEARL, Miss. - The Belhaven Baseball team took down Rhodes College on Tuesday, 9-5, as the two programs squared off in midweek action.

After a clean inning from Caleb Menard who got the start on the mound in the bullpen game, the Blazers struck first as Owen Abney drove in the opening run of the game with an RBI single. Belhaven then tacked on three more runs in the second as Cole Fletcher scorched a ball to straight away center field for a three-run homer, his first of the season. 

Rhodes answered back with three runs in the third but Colton Sylvester kept the Lynx bats quiet in the fourth before the Blazers broke the game open in the bottom half of the frame with a five run inning highlighted by a two-RBI hit from Noah Foster. 

While Belhaven would be held quiet offensively for the remainder of the contest, the lead would be more than enough as the Blazers grabbed their first midweek victory of the season.

Colton Sylvester (W, 2-0): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 K
Cole Fletcher: 2-4, HR, 2B, 3 RBI
