The University of Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks baseball team claimed a 7-5 victory over the Delaware State Hornets, powered by a stellar six-inning performance from starting pitcher Cade Williams.
Williams took command on the mound, helping the Hawks secure their sixth Northeast Conference victory of the current season in what proved to be a closely contested matchup against their in-state rivals.
The Hawks’ offensive attack was led by impressive performances from two key players who dominated at the plate. Both Jimenez and Taylor contributed significantly to the team’s success, each recording three hits during the game to fuel the Hawks’ scoring efforts.
The victory demonstrates the Hawks’ continued competitiveness in conference play as they work to build momentum in Northeast Conference standings. Williams’ ability to pitch effectively through six innings provided the stability the team needed to hold off the Hornets’ comeback attempts.
With this win, UMES continues to establish itself as a formidable opponent in the NEC, showcasing both strong pitching depth and offensive capability that will be crucial as the season progresses.
