The University of Maryland Eastern Shore baseball team opened their 2025 season with a challenging doubleheader against Virginia Military Institute, falling in both contests at Gray-Minor Stadium in Lexington, Virginia on Friday.
While the Hawks couldn’t secure victories in either game, there were bright spots for the team, particularly from freshman player Miguel Guerrero, who made an impressive collegiate debut.
Guerrero achieved several personal milestones during the twin bill, recording his first hit as a college player, driving in his first run, and collecting multiple hits in a single game for the first time at the collegiate level.
The doubleheader marked the beginning of what the Hawks hope will be an improved season as they continue to develop their roster and build chemistry among players.
UMES will look to bounce back from the opening day setbacks as they continue their early season schedule in the coming weeks.
