a spark in time?
After a rather tepid start, Belhaven University has begun to heat up. A three-game sweep of Auburn-Montgomery this weekend moved the Blazers to 20-12 overall and 7-5 in the Southern States Athletic Conference. BU has won eight of nine heading into a Maloney Trophy Series game at Millsaps on Tuesday. The Blazers completed the sweep of AUM in fist-pumping fashion on Saturday, winning 14-13 on Bud Britt’s walk-off, two-run homer in the 10th inning. It was the sixth homer of the year for Britt, from Brookhaven by way of Copiah-Lincoln Community College. P.S. The No. 1 catcher for Auburn-Montgomery is Brett Wellman, the son of former Mississippi Braves manager Phillip Wellman. The younger Wellman often caught in the bullpen for the M-Braves. The elder Wellman is now a hitting coach in the St. Louis system.
