The University of Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks baseball squad suffered a 12-7 setback against Fairleigh Dickinson University despite putting together a solid offensive showing that included a pair of home runs.
Darrius Brown and Gonzalez Perez each launched balls over the fence for the Hawks, who managed to rack up 10 hits during the contest but couldn’t overcome FDU’s offensive attack.
The loss continues a challenging stretch for the UMES baseball program as they work to find consistency both at the plate and on the mound. While the Hawks showed they could generate offense with their double-digit hit total, defensive struggles and pitching issues allowed FDU to pull away for the five-run victory.
The Hawks will look to bounce back from this high-scoring affair as they continue their season, hoping to build on the positive offensive production shown by Brown, Gonzalez Perez and the rest of the lineup.
