BLAZERS TOP MAJORS

JACKSON- The Belhaven Blazers scored two in the eighth and one in the ninth to comeback and beat Millsaps on Tuesday night at Twenty Field. 

The Majors were held hitless through five innings and managed just four hits on the evening, but took advantage of seven walks by Blazer pitching. 

Millsaps tied the game at one in the third after Wes Perkins drew a bases loaded walk. The Majors took advantage of four walks and a hit batsmen in the inning. 

The Blazers would retake the lead in the fifth, getting back to back doubles to take a 2-1 lead. The Majors would fall behind 3-1 heading into the home half of the seventh. Millsaps loaded the bases on a single, fielder's choice and a walk. Wes Perkins singled home Will Lawrence. Samuel Doucet hit a fly ball just far enough to score William Chenoweth from third to tie the game. Keith Shumaker stole third and came home on a double steal that was botched by the Belhaven defense. 

Belhaven would score the tying and go ahead runs in the eighth on an error and an untraditional double play. The run scored before the tag was made, making it 5-4 Belhaven. Millsaps would get two on in the eighth, but couldn't score. 

The Majors now sit at 12-6 overall on the season. They welcome in the Centre Colonels on Saturday for a 12/3 double header.
