Timmy Foster finished 3-4 with 2 RBI and a homer, Lake Eiland finished 3-4, Drew Dillard went 2-4 and Craig Dean added a homerun.

 

Mobile put up single tallies in each of the first two innings, with Travis Williamson producing a sac fly in the 1st and Beck singling home Brady King in the 2nd. But, the Blazers found their offense in the 3rd with a four-run output and kept it going until the end.

 

After a quick out in the inning, five straight Blazers recorded hits, with Foster doubling home one and Brandon Benton producing a 2-run double.

 

The Blazers put up single scores in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings before the Rams scored again, plating two in the bottom of the 6th on three hits. Lee homered with 2 outs and Bourgeois produced a RBI-double to cap the scoring for Mobile.

 

The finale saw the Blazers pound out 15 hits to overcome 5 errors. Lake Eiland, Craig Dean and Paul Moreno all had 3-hit games for Belhaven, while Timmy Foster went 2-3 with 3 RBI.

 

For Mobile, Justin Beck finished with 2 RBI, while Derek Bourgeois and Cody Sanderson finished with two hits each.

 

Alan McHenry got the win for Belhaven by limiting Mobile to 1 earned run on 1 hit in 5 innings of work. Jarrin Brister took the loss after giving up 5 earned runs on 5 hits in 4 innings.

 

The teams traded runs in the 2nd and 3rd, but Belhaven scored three over the next two innings to take a 5-2 lead heading into the 6th. Beck came through with a 2-out, 2-run single in the 6th to cut the deficit to 5-4, but Belhaven plated four in the 7th to put the game away.

 

In that inning, the first four hitters reached base and Dean pulled a 2-run double down the left field line to stretch the lead back to 9-4.
