Joey Haass broke a tie with a two-RBI single in the bottom of the seventh to give Fox Post-2 a 4-1 victory in the opening round of the American Legion baseball state tournament on Saturday afternoon over the Post-10 Generals.

Jake Williams tossed seven innings of one-run ball to earn the win for the Dover-area squad and Sean Hanhauser pitched the last two innings to record the save.

Kendall Small had a pair of hits for Fox Post-2, including a RBI-triple in the first inning which scored Miguel Rivera. Post-10 tied it at 1-1 in the top of the second and the scored stayed that way until Haass’ single in the seventh.

Adrian Hill added an insurance run in the eighth with a RBI-double.

Fox Post-2 will play Stahl Post-30 in the second round today at Wilson Field in Newcastle (12:30 p.m.).

Post-25 Middletown 12, Post-3 Milford 2: Post-25 scored a combined six runs in the first and second innings before scoring six more in the bottom of the fourth.

Recent Smyrna High grads Jared Gillis and Ryan Seymour paced the Middletown-Smyrna-area squad with each scoring twice and Gillis driving in a pair of runs. Shawn Dulin went 2-for-4 with a run scored and one RBI.

Bryan Widdowson and Michael Melvin each scored a run for Post-3 Milford. Widdowson and Jacob Rogers each had a hit for Post-3.
