HARTSVILLE — Paul VI claimed their second straight Southeastern Baseball Classic championship with a 9-2 win over Gaffney on Saturday at Jimmy White Park.

The Red Foxes managed only four hits in the game with Seth Lowe getting two of them. Lowe was one of three Hartsville players on the all-tournament team.
The other two Red Foxes on the team were Cody Mincey and Jent Jones.
West Florence wrapped up the tourney with an 0-4 mark, losing to Lakewood 10-5.
Sumter defeated Stratford 6-0 in the other game of the day.
