BLUE MOUNTAIN, Miss. (4/15/25) – The Williams Baptist University baseball team fell on the road in a doubleheader with Blue Mountain Christian by the final scores of 12-4 and 9-8 on Tuesday night.
Cody Jones (3-3) and Luke Bullins (1-3, RBI, R) led the way for the Eagles on offense. Brevin Carlisle got the start and went 2.0 innings with two hits and one earned run.
Blue Mountain got the game's first run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly, but took full control of the ballgame in the third with a 10-spot in the frame. Zephaniah Singleton scored on a Cody Jones bunt single to break the scoring drought for WBU in the fifth.
Luke Bullins drove in Kaeden Kennedy and Gavin Mink drove in two in the seventh, but WBU was unable to complete the comeback and fell 12-4 in game one.
In game two, Jacob Watkins (2-3, 2 RBI) and Mason Andrews (2 RBI) had strong performances in the box for WBU. Eight different arms made an appearance on the mound in the 11-inning contest.
Watkins and Andrews each drove in a run on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch to give WBU the lead in the top of the first before BMCU tied the ballgame in the bottom half of the frame.
The Toppers took the lead with four runs in the bottom of the second. Luke Bullins got two runs back on an RBI single in the fifth to cut the Blue Mountain lead to two.
Down to the final out in the seventh, Zephaniah Singleton scored on a wild pitch to make it a one-run game, and Mari Thomas scored on an error to tie it at 7-7. Mink scored on an error in the eighth to put WBU up 8-7, but BMCU matched the score in the bottom of the inning to keep the game going.
Neither team was able to score until Blue Mountain broke through with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th to take the 9-8 victory. It is the Toppers' second extra-inning victory over WBU this season.
The losses drop Williams to 21-20 overall and 8-15 on the road. The Eagles will return home on Thursday, Apr. 17 for the first two of a doubleheader against Central Baptist. First pitch against the Mustangs is set for noon from Shell Field.
