South River tops Fallston in back-and-forth Spring Break game, 5-4

The Seahawks battled for the second time in the day coming from behind to win. South River and Fallston traded the lead multiple times on Wednesday at Joe Cannon Stadium in a Spring Break game, but South River ended up on top 5-4 in seven innings over Fallston.

South River pulled out the win thanks to a strong seventh inning where smart batters loaded the bases on walks and the winning run crossed the plate when Scott Mitchell was hit by pitch.

Brett Kowalewski got on base two times in the game for Fallston. He scored one run and had one RBI. Kowalewski homered in the sixth inning.

Bryan Shores, Craig Sheridan, Nick Raimondo, and Gabe Vertucci all collected hits for South River.

Sheridan was strong on the mound, throwing strikes on 62 of his 101 pitches. Sheridan collected five strike outs and walked two for South River.

South River jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Vertucci singled to ignite South River's offense. A groundout by Joe Scott then moved Vertucci from first to second. Then a sacrifice fly by Connor Cox scored Vertucci. Later, Bryan Shores doubled.

Next, Seahawks will face Annapolis in conference play after Easter.
