Delmar, MD – April 20, 2026
The Stephen Decatur Seahawks squad delivered a decisive late‑game push Monday afternoon, pulling away from the Delmar Wildcats for a 7–2 victory behind timely hitting and steady pitching. After a tight early stretch, the Seahawks capitalized in the middle innings to seize control and close out a complete team performance.
Tight Opening Frames
Both teams traded zeroes through the opening innings as neither offense could find a consistent rhythm early. The Seahawks scratched across a run in the first from Brandon Nadeau in the form of a long ball but saw Delmar answer in the bottom of the fourth, keeping the game even as pitchers on both sides worked carefully through traffic.
Seahawks Take Control
The turning point came in the fifth inning when Decatur broke open the contest with a four‑run surge. Adam Edelman delivered a key three‑RBI hit, while disciplined at‑bats forced Delmar pitchers into extended counts. The inning flipped a narrow margin into a commanding advantage the Wildcats could not recover from.
Staff Holds the Line
Starter Ronan Diaz anchored the Seahawks on the mound, earning the win after four solid innings while allowing just one earned run. He was followed by Rij Braciszewski and Caleb Loring, who combined to limit damage and shut the door over the final frames as Delmar struggled to mount sustained threats.
Wildcats Battle, Seahawks Finish
Delmar collected nine hits on the day, highlighted by RBI production from Mathias Ford and Colton Gwaltney, but left opportunities stranded throughout the game. Decatur responded with aggressive baserunning and capitalized on free passes, showing composure and depth as the contest moved into the late innings.
Player of the Game
Adam Edelman (Stephen Decatur) earned Player of the Game honors after driving in three runs and delivering the biggest swing of the afternoon. His timely hit in the fifth inning provided separation and momentum, turning a close matchup into a Seahawks advantage that held for the remainder of the game.
