The Beaufort Ospreys return to the diamond took a left turn early, as St. George Post 105 erupted for a six-run second inning and kept the offense coming en route to a 12-2 win in five innings Monday at Dorchester Academy.
Reece Mullen made the start on the mound for Beaufort and labored through 2⅓ innings in an effort to preserve arms for the remainder of the series, which continues at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Battery Creek for the Osprey’s home opener.
Gunner Hollingsworth was 2-for-2 and drew a walk for Beaufort, but the rest of the lineup managed only one hit.
The Ospreys (0-1) are playing their first season since 2014 with a roster of players and alumni from several area high schools.
