Here’s the final out for Seaford as they captured the first County Championship in program history 🏆 pic.twitter.com/IY6F0pRDCj — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 27, 2023 Seaford captured the first County Championship in program history in 2023 as they defeated Wheatley without allowing a run. It was a truly special year for Michael Milano‘s club, who dropped down from Class A, and are right back up there this year.

We covered Mepham’s win on Tuesday over MacArthur and they were able to finish the sweep.
