The home game for S-E against Hancock, Tuesday, April 11, saw the Marauders get outhit on their home diamond 11 to three.

“Hancock is a very good baseball team in all areas of the game. We made a few errors that they capitalized on early and never recovered,” said S-E head coach Jay Tackabury. “They (Hancock) are well coached and a fundamental baseball team. They were simply better than us tonight.”

S-E would have three errors in the game in comparison to Hancock’s none – as Hancock jumped to a 6-0 lead by the end of the fifth inning.

Taking the win for Hancock, was their starting pitcher Joe Gross – while S-E’s Trevor May pitched the first four innings (two strikeouts, four hits) before Ben Osborne came in in relief to snag two more strikeouts in the final two innings.
