DAPHNE, Alabama — The Admirals swept their way to the 3A Area 1 baseball championship Friday with a pair of road wins at Excel and a series opener at home Thursday.

Bayside opened with a 10-4 victory over the Panthers at home, then doubled down on games two and three to win 9-3 and 12-3 for the sweep.

Joe Vincent and Spencer Rosenbohm got the wins at EHS Friday as Bayside’s Hunter Slater hit a pair of three-run homers, Joe Stassen added five hits and Vincent four to improve the Admirals overall to 24-5 and a 7-1 mark in area play.

Bayside started the sweep Thursday with Jacob Graddick on the mound. He got support at the plate from Slater’s three RBIs and Kevin Masterson's two runs driven in.

The Admirals now host the Area 2 runner-up in the first round of the playoffs beginning Friday.
