Belmont wins both ends of Saturday's Baseball Doubleheader

NASHVILLE,TENN.-- Belmont won both ends of Saturday's twinbill. Winning game one by a final of 4-1 and battling back for a 9-7 game two victory.

In Game one, Bruins starter Nate Woods (5-5) scattered six hits, walked just one batter, struck out four and allowed only Cam Nelson's second-inning homer in six and 1/3 innings to earn the victory. Jon Ivie tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record his ninth save.

Camel starter Jeff Rydman (3-3) matched his career high with 8 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings, but surrendered four runs off 9 hits, while walking four.

Nelson finished 2-for-4 in the opener, while Chris Bangi and Alan Denman also had a pair of hits for Campbell (26-24, 6-16 A-Sun). Bangi extended his string to 47-straight games this year in which he has reached base via a hit, walk or hit by pitch.

Mark Noth paced Belmont (24-24, 10-11) at the plate, going 3-for-4 with RBI singles in the 2nd and 8th frames.

In Game two, Campbell starter Logan Davis surrendered four runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings, while striking out five. However, a ninth inning walk-off grand slam by junior first baseman Nate Woods completed Belmont's (25-24, 11-11) come from behind effort.

Campbell's Josh Holskey finished 2-for-4 at the plate including his sixth home run of the season, while Bryce Grady had the biggest hit of his young career with a pinch hit three run homer in the eighth, which put the Camels (26-25, 6-17 A-Sun) ahead by two runs headed into the final frame.

The only hit of the doubleheader for Belmont's Woods was the ninth inning game ender. He finished 1-for-5 with five RBI in game two.
