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.

Coach Milano, who has been at the helm since 2004, spoke to Axcess Baseball about their incredible season. “When you have a group like that, there is a whole new l...

Madsen lined an 0-2 pitch to center field against Adelphi-commit Billy Kind,...

Seaford, who entered the Nassau Class B playoffs, as the No. 1 seed thanks to a 1-loss regular season, have continued to dominate their competition and now are on the brink of a County Championship for the first time in program history. They had been a Class A school up until last year which certainly made the path more difficult. Led by two of the top pitchers in Nassau County this year and a relentless top of the order, the Vikings cruised to a 6-0 victory over No. 5 Wheatley, who were the only team t...
