- SEAHAWKS: 3
OLD MILL SENIOR HIGH: 7
The 'Hawks struggled all day at the plate, striking out 11 times during the afternoon while losing to Old Mill 7-3. The Patriots sprayed 12 hits including a double and a home run to constantly put pressure on the young Seahawks. Old Mill used four singles and a botched bunt play to score 4 runs in the second inning to gain the upper hand. The damage may have been even greater if not for a Whiting-Loftis-Kidwell double play that ended the inning.
The Seahawks finally got on the board in the sixth inning when Kevin Loftis delivered Bobby Hite on a ground out. The 'Hawks scored twice more in the top of the 7th when Zach Morris opened the inning with a single. Danny Hall followed wiht a pinch hit walk and Charlie Hardesty reached on an error. A wild pitch scored Morris and, after consecutive strike outs, Loftis knocked in his second run with an infield single. But the rally, and the Seahawks, fell short. 7-3 with an opening day loss.
Pitching for the Seahawks was Eric Aumann who surrendered 12 hits, striking out 7 and walked none in a complete game loss.
