2013 CSM Golf Preview

Right now, the Hawks are eager to get outside and see this rainy, chilly weather leave the region. The team’s home course is Breton Bay Country Club in Leonardtown, where they hosted a tournament yesterday.

Head golf coach Ned Spearbeck welcomes former CSM player Kyle Carranza, a 2010-2011 All-JUCO and All-American player, to assist him with the team this season.

“I’d just basically like to give the kids some of my experiences throughout the college athletic process,” Carranza said, “a positive attitude. I was fortunate enough to be able to be successful, so I’d like to pass that on to the players that are on the team now.”

College of Southern Maryland Baseball Sweeps Garrett in Opener

On Saturday, March 2nd the College of Southern Maryland Baseball team opened up their season against Garrett Community College at home in the Blue Crabs Stadium before a crowd of approximately 200 with 2 wins. CSM took the first game 5-1 behind the complete game effort of Jason Funkhouser, and came from behind to win the second game 3-1 behind another complete game effort of Austin Murphy.

In game one, CSM offense showed up to support Funkhouser as they tallied 9 hits and recorded 6 base on balls in just 6 offensive frames. Brandon Durbin opened the scoring effort with an RBI groundout in the second inning to score Corey Hewitt who had walked. Jeff Fitch followed with an RBI triple to score Jeremy Remalia who had walked. After a Murphy walk and stolen base, Adam Carman delivered an infield RBI single just inside the third base bag, and a poor late throw kicked away at 1st allowing Murphy to score on the play behind Fitch. CSM would score 4 times in the frame on 3 walks and 2 hits. Garrett scored their lone run in the top of the 6th but it was unearned as the run scored on an error. CSM would atone for its mistake in the bottom half of the sixth as Carman would single with two outs, and score from 1st on a two out RBI double from Hayden Ferrington. Funkhouser struck out 2, walked 3 and gave up just 2 hits on the day.

Game two was a much tighter contest. Garrett would score first in the top of the third on a 2 out single to left. CSM would answer back in the 4th when Murphy would single and steal second while advancing to third on the overthrow. Carman fell behind in the count 0-2 before lining a RBI single to left. The game would stay tied until the bottom of the sixth, when Murphy opened the frame with a double to left. A groundout moved Murphy to third and with one out another ground ball put Murphy in a rundown but he was able to get back to third under the throw. An intentional walk then loaded the bases with one out before Hewitt sent a fly ball to right plenty deep enough to score the runner from third. The outfielder would over play the ball however, and it fell in advancing everyone two bases and accounting for the final 2 runs CSM would score. In the final inning, Garrett would threaten with 2 on and no outs, but a swinging strike out led to getting a Garrett base runner in a rundown for the first two outs and a harmless groundout finished off the sweep for CSM. Murphy would strike out 6, walk 4 and also just allowed 2 hits on the day.

On the day, Carman had 4 hits, Murphy and Ferrington each had 3 hits, and Anthony Waterloo and Durbin each collected 2 hits.

CSM will host Chesapeake at the Blue Crabs Stadium in a single 9 inning game on Tuesday March 5th, will host Essex at the Blue Crabs Stadium in a Doubleheader on Thursday March 7th, and play a Doubleheader at Rappahannock on Saturday March 9th.
