How It Happened

Belmont Abbey went on the attack early on in the game as a double down the let field line by Whitaker allowed Tucker to come in to score to give the Crusaders the advantage.  They went on to bring another run in to score in the bottom of the second inning off a double by Boyles that allowed Burr to score.

Southern Wesleyan cut Belmont Abbey's lead in half in the top of the third inning.  Griffin Pickhardt led off the inning by reaching first on a walk and then advanced to second when Ryan Postnieks was hit by a pitch.  A sacrifice bunt by Jason Culley allowed both runners to advance.  With one out and two on, Tristan Tillman hit a sacrifice fly out to right field to allow Pickhardt to come in to score.

Another double by Boyles allowed the Crusaders to regain their two run advantage.  They went on to bring another run in to score to take a 4-1 run lead.

Belmont Abbey pushed on with another run in the bottom of the seventh to win the game in a 5-1 final score.
