Box Score Jackson, MS – The Millsaps Baseball team fell to the Belhaven Blazers by a score of 8-6 Wednesday afternoon.
 
The midweek non-conference matchup marks the third and final game in the season series between the local rivals.  After taking the series with a win Tuesday night, the Majors dropped to 13-13 on the year with an 8-6 defeat on Wednesday.  Blazers' starting pitcher Brick Pugh earns his first win of the season, as the Majors were held to six runs on six hits and three errors.
 
After a 1-1 tie in the second, the Majors were outscored 7-5 in the remaining seven innings.  Isaac Glenn began a comeback rally in ninth with a two run homerun – his first of the season – but the comeback effort fell short as the Blazers eventually earned the 8-6 win.
 
With the win, Belhaven improves to 14-9 while the Majors drop to 13-13 with a conference series scheduled for this weekend at Twenty Field.
 
Third baseman Cavan Breland and center fielder Isaac Glenn led the Majors in RBI with two each.  Connor Woodall, who started the contest at second base, recorded an RBI as well.  Designated hitter Wes Lassere led in hits with two as Seth Trulock, Connor Woodall, Cavan Breland and Isaac Glenn recorded one.
 
Belhaven scored twice in the top of the ninth to lead 8-4.  Down to their last three outs and trailing by four runs, the Majors began to mount a comeback rally in the bottom of the ninth.
 
Drew Wray got things started reaching first on a fielding error by Belhaven.  Sophomore Patrick Grumbley then stepped in to pinch run for Wray.  With an out on the board and a runner on, Isaac Glenn stepped up to bat.
 
Glenn delivered with his first homerun of the season on a long two-run shot to right center.  Glenn's homer scored Grumbley and cut the deficit to two runs.  Belhaven, however, closed out the game with a ground out to third and strike out to earn the 8-6 win.
 
Now at 13-13 (6-6), the Majors will look to rebound with a conference series scheduled later this weekend at home.  The Sewanee Tigers will travel to Twenty Field to face Millsaps with a double-header scheduled for Saturday.
 
First pitch for game one against the Tigers is scheduled for Saturday, April 2nd at 1:00 pm.
