The University of Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks baseball team combined community outreach with competition during their recent Alzheimer’s awareness contest, though they came up short in a 9-3 loss to the visiting Seahawks.
The special game served as more than just another entry in the win-loss column, as the Hawks used the opportunity to shine a spotlight on Alzheimer’s disease and raise awareness for those affected by the condition.
While the final score didn’t favor the home team, individual performances provided bright spots for the Hawks. Both Carson and Gonzalez Perez managed to collect multiple hits during the contest, demonstrating solid offensive contributions despite the team’s overall struggles at the plate.
The defeat adds another loss to the Hawks’ season record, but the team’s commitment to using their platform for community awareness efforts shows the broader impact college athletics can have beyond the playing field.
