Game One | BELHAVEN 11, ASBURY 1

The Eagles wasted no time getting on the board in the top of the first. Andrew Billington led off with a double and later scored on an RBI single from Aaron Beaman, giving Asbury an early 1-0 advantage.
Belhaven answered immediately in the bottom half and then broke the game open with a four-run second inning to take control.
