GAME TWO
Overview:
The Eagles scored a decisive two runs in the bottom of the eighth to earn 10-8 win and a double-header sweep Friday afternoon. The Eagles trailed part of the game, but got their bats going late in the contest. The Eagles led 3-1 after the first behind a big three-run homer from Clifford, his second on the day. Belhaven responded with two runs in the third and five runs in the fourth. Trailing 8-4, the Eagles mounted a rally in the seventh. Varner homered again and Patrick Mixon had a clutch two-run double to make the score 8-7. Mason DaBour then recorded a sacrifice fly to even the game 8-8. From there, the Eagles generated two runs in the eighth. Woolly had a sacrifice fly and Swartz ripped an RBI single to give the Eagles a 10-8 advantage. Jack Waggoner (2-0) was nearly untouchable in 4.1 innings of relief work. Waggoner, who received the win, did not allow a hit or run while striking out three. Corey Steward received the save after tossing the ninth inning. Belhaven did put two runners in scoring position with two outs, but shortstop Fielder Dufrene made an outstanding fielding play and throw to end the game. Varner went 3-for-4 with four runs. Swartz also went 3-for-4. Clifford drove in three.
