MARYVILLE, Tenn. - Belhaven Baseball opened their CCS Tournament stay with a resounding 16–1 win over Huntingdon at the Scotland Yard on Wednesday, showcasing a complete team performance on both sides of the diamond.
The Blazers erupted offensively, piling up 15 hits and 14 RBI while capitalizing on every opportunity at the plate. After a scoreless first inning, Belhaven took control with a two-run second inning, sparked by a two-out, two-RBI single from Cole Fletcher. That was just the beginning of an offensive outburst that continued over the next four innings.
Belhaven added two more runs in the third, then broke the game wide open with a six-run fourth inning highlighted by RBI hits from Tristan Pearson, Nick Thornton, Austin Canale, and Parker Ryan. Canale was especially lethal at the plate, going 4-for-5 with five RBI.
Belhaven ace Kade May (7-1) kept Huntingdon quiet throughout, going the distance with a dominant complete-game performance. May allowed just one run on seven hits while striking out three and walking one over seven innings, needing only 74 pitches to secure the win.
Meanwhile, Belhaven's plate discipline and aggressive baserunning added pressure all game. The Blazers drew seven walks, had three hit-by-pitches, and stole two bases. Every spot in the lineup contributed either a run or hit, underscoring the depth of the Blazers' batting order.
