CHARLESTON, S.C. - The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) hard-ballers made their first trip of the year and fell in the away game, 12-1 to the Buccaneers of Charleston Southern University (CSU). After the rain cancelled yesterday's game and forced a rescheduled doubleheader today to one game, UMES played the lone game this afternoon. The Hawks managed just one run in the game, which was scored by Jorge Pichardo, who made his debut in the maroon and grey. Pichardo went 2-3 on the day with a run and a double. He doubled in the eighth inning to right field and scored when Phillip Vaughn reached on a fielder's choice with the bases loaded. Pichardo also recorded an infield single to second in the sixth inning. On the day the Hawks (0-10) collected just two other hits, a single in the fifth off the bat of Ryan Coppi and a single to right center from Pat Hercinger in the seventh. The Buccaneers (3-7) posted three runs each in the first, second, sixth and eighth innings. They collected 12 runs on 11 hits and two UMES errors. Kory Morian was 3-4 with two runs and two RBI while Derek Smith went 2-3 with a run and three runs. Five other players had one RBI each for CSU and six players collected one hit apiece. Andrew White (2-1) picked up the win throwing seven and two thirds innings giving up one earned run, four hits and three walks. He struck out seven Hawks along the way. Carl Huber (0-3) took the loss for UMES, he went five and two thirds innings, gave up nine runs, eight earned and walked seven. He struck out three and scattered eight hits. The two teams will meet again tomorrow in a double header slated to start at 11:30 a.m. Game one can be heard locally on WTGM-AM 960 and on the internet at www.umeshawks.com.
