While there were ups and downs, last season was generally a successful one for the Southampton baseball team. After missing out on the playoffs in 2011—one year removed from winning back-to-back Suffolk County and Long Island Class B Championships—the Mariners made a dramatic return to the postseason by sweeping Mattituck in their final three-game series of the regular season to get in. The season ended on a sour note, however, when Southampton squandered a three-run lead in the final inning against Babylon in the second game of a three-game set for the county championship.
