BLAZERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED IN 'MALONEY SERIES', DEFEAT MAJORS 7-6


The Blazers (13-8, 4-5) defeated the visiting Millsaps College Majors (13-5, 9-2) 7-6 on Tuesday, moving to 2-0 in the "Cowboy Maloney Trophy" Series.

The Majors jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first, before Jonathan Robertson's triple in the 2nd plated courtesy runner Shawn Anderson, cutting the lead to 2-1. Millsaps pushed across three more runs in the top of the top of the 3rd, building a brief 5-1 lead.

The Blazers exploded for five runs in the bottom of the third inning, thanks in part to Scott Ewing's two-run single along with RBI singles from Ricky Breazeale and Buddy Wyrick.

Millsaps managed to tie the game in the 4th, and the game remained tied until the bottom of the seventh inning. Blaise King scampered home with what would prove to be the winning run on Breazeale's double in the left-center gap.

King, Breazeale and Wyrick each collected two hits in the game for Belhaven. Ricky Owens collect three singles in the game, going 3-for-4 at the plate.

Kyle Buescher (1-0) earned his first collegiate win, pitching one inning in relief of starter Larkin Braxton. Buescher struck out one of the three batters he faced in the seventh inning. Braxton allowed three earned runs in six innings of work. He walked three batters and struck out seven.

Daniel Hearn worked the final two innings, picking up his first save of the season. He allowed two hits, walking two and striking out two.
