Wilkes Baseball Drops Season Opener to Mass Maritime

FORT PIERCE, Fl. – The Wilkes University baseball team opened the 2020 season in Fort Pierce, Florida, falling to Massachusetts Maritime Academy 10-1 on Saturday afternoon.

The Colonels are now 0-1 on the 2020 season.

Mass Maritime jumped in front with three runs in the bottom of the first and a run in the fourth.

Wilkes got on the board in the top of the fifth when pinch-hitter Vincent Uzzi (Shoreham, NY/Shoreham-Wading River) tripled and came home on a passed ball.

The Buccaneers added two runs in the fifth, three in the sixth, and one in the seventh to reach the final.

Nick Malatesta (Bloomsburg, PA/Bloomsburg) led the Colonels at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk. Uzzi finished 1-for-2 with a run scored while Stone Warmuth got a pinch-hit single for his first career knock.

JT Hibschman (Millville, NJ/Millville) fell to 0-1, allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Wilkes returns to action on Sunday when it faces former MAC competitor Elizabethtown for a 10:00 a.m. non-conference doubleheader.
