Baseball Drops Series Opener to UMES in Providence

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (March 21, 2025) – The Stonehill College baseball team fell to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, 14-3, in the opening game of their three-game Northeast Conference (NEC) series on Friday afternoon at Attanasio Family Field at Murray Stadium, located on the campus of Brown University. With the defeat, the Skyhawks dropped to 4-13 overall and 3-1 in conference play, while the Hawks improved to 4-16 on the season and 3-4 in conference action.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Senior Sam Parks and sophomore Grayson Sparr each led the Skyhawks with two hits on the afternoon, marking their respective seventh and sixth multi-hit games of the season.
  • Junior Michael Rickert and freshman Brayden Rader also added base hits for Stonehill.
  • Parks and junior Sean McGee tallied their third and fourth stolen bases of the campaign, respectively.
  • Senior Ryan Douglas got the start and took the loss after allowing nine runs over 5.2 innings of work. He struck out a pair of Hawks batters, improving his team-leading total to 14 strikeouts on the season.
  • Junior Jonathan Gonzalez Perez had a career day at the dish for UMES, going a perfect 5-for-5 with a double, run scored, and three batted in.
  • Redshirt junior Julian Jimenez belted a pair of home runs and drove home four of the Hawks' 14 runs on the day.
  • Junior Jonah Stepner picked up the win on the hill after holding the Skyhawks to two runs over 6.0 innings with four strikeouts.
  • Freshman Tha'Mon McGriff registered his first career save after pitching the final three innings for UMES, where he struck out one.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After a scoreless first inning, Stonehill broke the deadlock by scoring two runs in the bottom of the second and third innings. In the second, Rickert started the rally with a double over the head of the Hawks' right fielder. He advanced to third on a deep fly ball by sophomore Ryan LeClair. A batter later, Rickert scored when Rader laced an RBI single up the middle, giving the Skyhawks a 1-0 lead.
 
Following a 1-2-3 inning from Douglas on the mound in the top of the third, Stonehill extended its lead. McGee came around to score in the bottom of the third after advancing around the bases, ultimately crossing the plate on a two-out RBI double by Sparr into the right-centerfield gap, making it 2-0.
 
However, despite holding a 2-0 advantage entering the fourth, UMES erupted for seven runs to take a commanding 7-2 lead. The Hawks' offensive outburst was sparked by three RBI base hits from graduate student Jason Brown and redshirt junior Ansel Carson, along with a bases-loaded hit by pitch, an infield sacrifice, and a solo home run off the bat of Jimenez.
 
Over the next five innings, UMES' pitching staff silenced the Stonehill bats, allowing just two hits during that stretch. Meanwhile, the Hawks added seven more runs to seal a decisive 14-3 victory over the Skyhawks.
 
UP NEXT
Stonehill (4-13, 3-1 NEC) will continue its three-game series against Northeast Conference opponent Maryland Eastern Shore tomorrow at Attanasio Family Field at Murray Stadium in Providence, Rhode Island. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:00 PM.
