JACKSON, Miss. - The Belhaven Softball team swept through their penultimate doubleheader of the regular season on Tuesday as they took down crosstown rival Millsaps 8-0 and 6-1 across a pair of non-conference contests.

GAME ONE

The Blazers jumped out to an early start in the first game, scoring in the top of the 1st on a sacrifice fly from Madi Miller. Holding the narrow lead into the 2nd, the Blazers blew the game open in the home half of that inning, striking for five runs on seven hits. Madi Miller and Kennedy Carruth each delivered two-RBI hits during the offensive outburst.

Belhaven would tack on their final runs in the contest in the bottom of the 3rd as Allie Gordon delivered a two-run home run putting the Blazers up 8-0. Kennedy Carruth was sharp in the circle, holding the Majors scoreless with Belle West coming into the circle in the final frame to close out the win in five innings.

In the win in the first game, the Blazers saw a pair of career records broken as Allie Gordon became the program's all-time hits leader while Kennedy Carruth became the program's all-time pitching wins leader.
