Seahawks Win Slugfest 17-16

Seahawks Win Slugfest 17-16
Posted: Mar 16, 2015

NORTH EAST, MD – The Division II Cecil College Seahawks won a 17-16 slugfest with the Raiders in Game One on Sunday. The FM Nine built big early leads, but the home team came back to win by a run.

Mid-March weather is often mild in Maryland, but not his year. Temps in the high 40s and stiff winds made for unfriendly baseball conditions.

Game One

The Raiders jumped out to leads of 8-3 and 12-4, but the Seahawks scored seven runs in the fifth inning and six more in the sixth to garner a 17-16 win.

Schedule Change

FM was originally scheduled to play a doubleheader with Southeastern Community College in Whiteville, NC on March 24 during the Raiders' spring break trip. That plan has been modified, and now FM will still play two games, but the first will be with Jamestown CC at Southeastern, and the second game will be with Southeastern.

Jamestown is a Region 3 team, as is FM. There are 17 baseball teams in Region 3. The region is divided into eastern and western divisions for postseason seeding. FM is an eastern team, and the Jamestown Jayhawks are a western team. The postseason begins with the best teams from the east playing the best from the west. Last season FM's opponent in the postseason first round was Niagara CCC.
