Abbey Concludes Series At King With Fourth Straight Series Win

BRISTOL, Tenn. — The Belmont Abbey baseball team concluded its Conference Carolinas series with a pair of dramatic contests against King Friday afternoon at King Baseball Field.
 
The Crusaders dropped the opening game of the doubleheader 3-2 in 11 innings Friday before holding on for a 7-5 win in a game called after six innings due to darkness.
 
Alex Sniffen earned the win in the rubber game of the series for the Crusaders while Connor Tucker led the offense with six hits over the course of the day.
 
Belmont Abbey improves to 11-9 overall and 8-4 in Conference Carolinas play. King is now 7-14 overall, 2-6 in league play.
