BLAZERS BOUNCE MAJORS

JACKSON, MS- The Belhaven Blazers knocked off the Millsaps Majors 4-1 on Tuesday in a Maloney Series game at Twenty Field. 

The Majors and Blazers now each sit at 3-2 in the 2014 series with each having a game against the Mississippi College Choctaws. The Majors need to beat the Choctaws and the Blazers lose for Millsaps to win the trophy for the first time since 2012. 

Belhaven used their speed to create runs all night, stealing six bases on Tuesday. The Blazers stole a run in the first using a walk, steal, wild pitch and sac fly to score without a hit. 

The Majors stole a run back in the third, with Stephen Gates on third, the Majors sent Andrew Rafferty on a steal from first, Rafferty got caught in a rundown with Gates scoring before the tag. 

Belhaven scratched a run out in the fifth using a single, error and sacrifice put a runner on third. A single brought home what amounted to the game-winning run. 

Millsaps had their chances on Tuesday, leaving the bases loaded in the second and squandering a first and third no-out situation in the sixth. Belhaven tacked on two insurance runs in the seventh. The Majors put two on with two out in the eighth to no avail and went quietly in the ninth.
