After a week off, the Beaufort Ospreys came out swinging in their return to their home field at Battery Creek High School on Monday, but the hot start was quickly doused in a 20-5 loss to Moncks Corner Post 126.
Gunner Hollingsworth put up a zero in the top of the first and the Ospreys gave him a five-run cushion in the bottom half, but a one-out error and a pair of walks loaded the bases and set off a six-run outburst from Moncks Corner in the top of the second, and the Berkeley County bats didn’t let up.
Moncks Corner plated two more runs in the third, four in the fourth, and eight in the fifth to send the Ospreys to their sixth straight loss to start the season.
Maurice Barnes was 2-for-2, and Matthew Hastings, Reece Mullen, and Landon Maichel each had a hit and an RBI for Beaufort.
The series was to continue Wednesday at St. John’s Christian Academy and wraps up at 7 p.m. Friday at Battery Creek. The Ospreys wrap up the League 1 season next week against Walterboro Post 93, hitting the road Monday and Friday and playing at home at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
