For the second year in a row, the Seahawks ended Old Mill's season and will next play Severna Park in a repeat of last season's playoff scenario.

The 'Hawks jumped to a quick lead, scoring three runs in the top of the third inning.  Kevin Loftis opened with a single to right center and was followed by a Bobby Hite single to left center.  After Eric Aumann walked to load the bases, Zach Morris delivered a two-run single to left center.  Joe Scott, running for Aumann, then scored on a wild pitch.

The Patriots answered with five runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead.  The Seahawks scratched back with a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth to tie the game.  But Old Mill scored again in their half of the fifth to regain the lead in a see-saw battle.  Each team scored single runs in the sixth inning to keep the score knotted, this time at 7 runs each.

But South River owned the seventh inning.  Ryan Schoenbauer opened with a walk in an extended at bat.  When Schoenbauer broke for second base, Loftis hit behind the second baseman for a single with Schoenbauer continuing to third base.  Both were delivered when Hite crushed a triple into the deepest reaches of the park.  Aumann plated Hite with an infield single.  After a walk to Morris and runners subsquently advancing on a wild pitch, Nick Whiting came through with a two-run single to produce the games final 12-5 score.

Morris came in to relieve Aumann and pitched the final inning to preserve the Seahawk win.
