USCB baseball skid continues

LowcoSports.com

Just three weeks ago, the USCB baseball team was riding high after two wild walk-off wins in a doubleheader sweep of No. 16 Georgia Southwestern, the team picked to win the Peach Belt Conference title.

It must feel like a different lifetime for the Sand Sharks after the offense didn’t deliver enough in a three-game sweep at the hands of visiting Augusta kept USCB winless in 11 games since catching lightning and stunning the Canes twice on a hopeful Sunday in Hardeeville.

Pitching was the culprit early in the losing streak, but the starters kept the Sand Sharks in all three games against the Jaguars — the bats just couldn’t break through. USCB managed only four hits in a 6-2 loss in Sunday’s opener and turned seven hits into just one run in a 6-1 defeat in the second game of the doubleheader. The Sand Sharks outhit Augusta 12-9 in Monday’s finale, but they stranded 11 runners, leaving the bases loaded in the ninth inning of a 6-4 defeat.

Aiden Driscoll-Sadusky knotted the game in the fifth with an RBI single, but the Jaguars regained the lead with a three-run ninth and got out of the jame in the bottom half.

Driscoll-Sadusky collected three hits on the afternoon, while Carson Weathers and John Leland both had multi-hit performances and Weathers also collected two RBIs.

Starter Brandon Martin threw seven strong innings, allowing three runs with three strikeouts. Aiden Cooper (3-1) took the loss, allowing two runs in the decisive ninth inning.

The Sand Sharks (7-21, 2-10 PBC) host Lander for a three-game PBC series this weekend. Game 1 is tentatively scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday at Richard Gray Sports Complex in Hardeeville.
