The Southeast of Saline baseball team concluded their regular season on Thursday, dropping two games at the hands of a former league foe in Russell.
With finals of 12-1 and 15-4, the Trojans close out the year at 13-7, and 9-1 in NCAA play, with another league title in the rearview and an appearance at regionals ahead.
SES will head into the postseason with an impressive run differential of +118, having won just under half of their games by mercy rule and seven via a shutout.
Game one of this doubleheader saw the Broncos in the driver's seat early, scoring two in the first and third before breaking the game open down the stretch.
The Trojans did muster a run in the second but it wasn’t nearly enough as Southeast fell in the opener 12-1.
Game two saw a closer game through the first two innings as the SES trailed just 4-2 going into the third, but an eight-run frame for Russell allowed the Broncos to cruise to a shortened 15-4 victory to complete the sweep.
The Trojans will begin their postseason run on May 15th at the Burlington regional.
