The USCB baseball team picked up two more wins on Sunday to earn a four game sweep of the Fisher College Falcons. The Sand Sharks won the first game 11-2 as Michael Heesch, a junior from Chicago, IL, earned the win on the mound. Heesch pitched five innings, had seven strikeouts, and allowed two earned runs for his second win of the season. At the plate Conald Mansfield, a junior from Pensacola, FL, went 2-for-3, with three RBI's, and two runs scored to lead the offensive attack.
In the second game the USCB Sand Sharks won 8-2 behind an impressive pitching performance by Weldon Smith. Smith, a junior from Beaufort, SC, allowed one earned run, had seven strikeouts, and only allowed one walk in a complete game. Smith had remarkable command and control to keep the Falcons off-balance at the plate, and earn his first win of the season. Adam Gendall, a junior from Jones, Australia, went 1-for-2 with one run scored, and two RBI's, to lead the Sand Sharks at the plate in the game.
