A-Sun: A Merciful End

By Bryan App - May 23, 2007

Not that the eighth inning wasn't exciting, but it's nice to see some semblance of defense in baseball sometimes. Plus, I can't count that high. That's why I write.

So it was to my delight that Jacksonville -- no offense to the Dolphins -- went down quietly in succession in top of the ninth. Three up, three down. Ball game. Belmont wins 12-7.

The third-seeded Bruins will face second-seeded Mercer at 7 p.m. Thursday, while Jacksonville will play the winner of the Stetson-Lipscomb game, which will begin at 7:50 p.m. The loser of tonight's first-round finale will face Gardner-Webb at 11 a.m. Thursday in an elimination game.
