MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Belhaven Baseball team split their Saturday doubleheader at Huntingdon but clinched the weekend series as they made their final conference road trip of the regular season. In what was a long, weather-delayed day, Belhaven took the first game of the day 13-5 before falling 6-5 in the series finale.

GAME ONE

The Blazers took an early lead in the first game of the day, plating a pair of runs in the bottom of the 1st thanks to an RBI hit from Preston Conlee. The Hawks would pull back to within a run before weather would delay the game before the middle innings.

After the delay, the Belhaven bats stayed hot, scoring four runs in the 6th inning to take a 6-1 lead. Huntingdon once again got back within a run in the 7th inning but Belhaven pulled away from the hosts thanks to a six-run top of the 8th inning.
