CUMBERLAND - Cecil baseball took on Region 20 Division 2 foe Allegany Saturday morning, dropping the first contest in close fashion before blasting the Trojans to claim the second.

The Seahawks are now 5-9 (1-3 R20) on the year.

Game One - Allegany 2, Cecil 1 - Box Score

Cecil took an early 1-0 lead after Bailey Shindle's RBI-single drove home Hunter Sipel in the first. Seahawks starting pitcher John Smith kept Allegany off the board through six innings of work, striking out five batters along the way. Cecil's bats produced no further insurance for the freshman lefty heading into the last frame.

The final out would alude the Seahawks, as Allegany managed to put runners on in the bottom of the seventh. Smith (0-4) continued to battle, but eventually gave up two unearned run after defensive errors by Cecil to hand the game over to Trojans.

Game Two - Cecil 15, Allegany 6 - Box Score

The Seahawks offense surged in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader, matching their season high of 15 runs in a lopsided victory over Allegany.

The Trojans got on the board first with two runs in the first, but Cecil responded with an eight-run second to take a commanding lead. From there, the Seahawks nearly doubled (7-4) Allegany's production over the final innings to come away with the win.

Hunter Sipel (3-1) got the nod on the mound, putting down a half-dozen Trojans via strikeout. Chad Francis sealed the final six outs, allowing just one run one three hits.

Sophomore catcher Kenny Scottborgh led the Seahawks at the plate, picking up three hits and four RBI. Bailey Shindle (three RBI) and Kevin Gamber finished with two hits each.
