Chesapeake tops CSM, improves to 4-0

LA PLATA – Daniel Allen went 2-for-5, scored twice and drove in a run Tuesday afternoon as Chesapeake College's baseball team topped the College of Southern Maryland, 5-3.

Jordan Gowe had a double and drove in a run while Matthew Schotanus had the Skipjacks' only other hit.  Casey Joseph scored twice and Kam Stewart scored a run for the Skipjacks, who benefited from six walks issued by CSM pitchers.

William Kane (1-0) was the winning pitcher for the Skipjacks (4-0), who won their Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference opener.  Kane allowed one run on two hits and two walks over the first five innings while striking out eight.

Kent Island High graduate Jake Brown earned the save, yielding two runs on four hits over the final four innings.

Chesapeake blew out to a 5-0 lead midway through the fourth.

"We scored some early runs and our pitching was outstanding," said Chesapeake head coach Frank Szymanski.  "We're definitely happy with our record – we're just hoping the weather will come around soon so we can get out on the field on a regular basis."
