Early Game Onslaught Too Much for Bearcats to Overcome in Loss to Belmont Abbey

BELMONT, N.C. – The Lander baseball team trimmed a 16-1 deficit down to seven runs, but an early barrage of scoring proved too much to overcome as the Bearcats fell to Belmont Abbey, 19-10, on Tuesday evening at Abbey Yard.

Lander (16-7) took an early 1-0 lead on an RBI single from Will McClellan with the bases loaded, but the Bearcats stranded three runners to end the inning.

The Crusaders (15-8) responded quickly, sending 14 batters to the plate in a 10-run first inning that chased Jake Larson after just two-thirds of an inning. Belmont Abbey then added six more runs in the third to extend its lead.

Lander fought back with eight runs across the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, fueled by RBI hits from Grant Sherrod—who was named the NCBWA Southeast Region Player of the Week during the game—Taichi Nakao, Zach Cowart, and Garrett Chun.

However, seven runs was as close as Lander would get, as Belmont Abbey tacked on three more to put the game out of reach.

The Bearcats return to action Friday for their first home Peach Belt Conference series of the season against Columbus State. Game 1 is set for 6 p.m. Friday, followed by Game 2 at 2 p.m. Saturday and the series finale at 1 p.m. Sunday.
