Searsport Beats Machias To Capture 5th Class D Baseball State Championship In 6 Seasons

Searsport High School continued its dominance of Class D baseball on Saturday. Senior Cody Reynolds tossed a six-hitter and aided his own cause by driving in three runs with two doubles to lead the Vikings to their fifth state championship in six years, 8-4 over Machias, at Mansfield Stadium in Bangor. Class D South champ Searsport concluded a 10-10 campaign while D North winner Machias, playing in its first ever baseball state title game, finished at 13-4. Searsport broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in the third inning before thunderstorms caused a one hour, 18-minute delay.
