Belhaven Rolls Millsaps to Clinch Maloney Series

JACKSON, Miss. - Belhaven scored early and often in Game 2 of the 2024 Cowboy Maloney Series en route to a 19-6 win over the Majors. With the win, the Blazers (11-9, 1-1 CCS) have taken the first two in the series and retained the Maloney Trophy for a fifth straight season.

The Blazers wasted no time finding the scoreboard as Hunter Estes opened the Belhaven ledger with an RBI single in the top of the first. Hunter Harrell singled in two more to give Belhaven a 3-0 lead after one.

Cole Fletcher drove in the Blazers' fourth run with a single in the top half of the second. Already in front 4-0 in the third, Belhaven added three more thanks to an RBI triple from Eli Britt and an RBI knock from Thomas Hollingsworth.

Millsaps plated their first run in the bottom of the third, but Belhaven answered right back as Noah Foster singled past the third baseman to give the Blazers an 8-1 lead. The Majors plated three in the middle innings to draw within four, but the Blazers once again responded with two in the seventh to take a 10-4 lead.

Belhaven erupted for five runs in the eighth, highlighted by a three-run home run by Tristan Pearson. Millsaps pushed two across in the home half to cut the lead to 15-6 heading into the final inning.

Britt capped off a career night at the plate with his second RBI triple of the night, this one clearing the bases to extend the lead to 18-6. He came around to score on an error to finish the Belhaven tally at 19, while a scoreless ninth inning from Kyle Norris secured a dominant win and a Maloney Series victory for the Blazers.
