Blazers Split Doubleheader at Covenant

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - The Belhaven Baseball team split their Saturday doubleheader at Covenant, taking Game One 8-2 before falling late to the Scots 4-3 in the final game of the series.

GAME ONE

The Blazers got off to a quick start in the opening game of the day, looking to bounce back after their series opener loss on Friday. Owen Abney opened the scoring in the top of the 1st inning with a three-run home run, catapulting the Blazers out front.

Colton Sylvester, making his second start of the season, kept the hosts off the board through the first three frames and allowed just one run through five innings of work. Abney picked up another RBI in the 5th, with a sacrifice fly that put Belhaven on top 4-1. 

Belhaven tacked on an run in the 8th and two in the 9th to extend their lead as Will Swift slammed the door shut in relief and helped the Blazers to even up the series.

Notable Performances

Colton Sylvester (W, 4-1): 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER
Will Swift (S, 1): 4.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 K
Owen Abney: 3-4, HR, 6 RBI
Josh Neutze: 2-4, 2B, 3 R

GAME TWO

Looking to take both ends of the Saturday doubleheader and the series, Belhaven once again jumped out in front early thanks to an Owen Abney home run. This time, the Mississippi native delivered a solo homer in the top of the 2nd, half of a two-run inning for Belhaven.

Covenant answered with a run in the bottom half of the frame but the Blazers were able to make it a 3-1 lead on an RBI double from Jake Tyndall. Despite leading through six frames, the Blazers saw the hosts score three runs in the final three innings to take down Belhaven late.

Notable Performances

Kade May: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 5 K
Noah Foster: 3-3, R
Owen Abney: 1-4, HR
