Sunday, May 3, 2015, Week 2 of the Charles- St. Mary’s Men’s Baseball League (CHASM) was a beautiful day for baseball. There were three games slated for the day. Each game began at 1 pm and was played at different ball fields within SOMD. The Bayhawks of St. Mary’s County hosted the Storm of Prince George’s County. The two teams played at Great Mills High School with the final score resulting in a Bayhawks win 7-2.This was the Bayhawks first win and moves them to a record of 1-1 on the year. The loss moves the Storm to an 0-2 start. Chancellors Run Park in St. Mary’s County was the host of game 2 with St. Mary’s taking on the Black Sox of Charles County. This game was an exciting high scoring affair with the final score ending 12-8 in St. Mary’s favor. This was St. Mary’s second win of the season moving them to 2-0 and to 1st place in the league after two weeks of play. Next Saturday (05/09/15) is the battle of St. Mary’s County — St. Mary’s will take on the Bayhawks at St. Mary’s College. This begins the first game between these two opponents, out of the three games scheduled this year. Game time is at 1 pm. The third and final game of the day was a tough outing for the 2014 defending champions, Western Charles of Charles County who took on the Cubs, also of Charles County. This was the first game of the season for both teams as the Cubs game was postponed last weekend (make-up game to be scheduled later in the season) and Western Charles starting out the year on a bye week. This was the closest game of the day as the Cubs were able to pull out the win, final score 2-1. So far, the CHASM Baseball League has seen a competitive two weeks of baseball. It will only get better from here, as Rainbow Construction Field is the host of two games in week 3. The Cubs are taking on the Storm and Bumpy Oak will come back from a weekend off to play Western Charles. Times available below:
