Carolina University's baseball team faced a challenging defeat, losing 14-1 to St. Andrews University on February 25, 2025. The game saw the Bruins struggling against the Knights' strong offense and unable to build momentum.

During the game, Smith scored Carolina's only run in the fourth inning after singling, stealing second base, and reaching home on Tucker's sacrifice fly. The team managed just three hits throughout the match, with Brooks contributing a pinch-hit single in the sixth inning.

Delgado showed activity on the bases by stealing two bases but was caught in a crucial situation during the fourth inning. On St. Andrews' side, Wilson had a productive day at bat with two hits out of three attempts, including a double and two RBIs.

The decisive moment came during St. Andrews' big fourth inning when Zambito hit a two-run double and Ojea followed with a two-RBI single as part of an eight-run frame that put Carolina behind significantly. Carolina's pitchers struggled with control issues, issuing 13 walks and hitting multiple batters, which allowed St. Andrews to take advantage of their opportunities.

St. Andrews' pitching staff effectively contained Carolina's offense. Williams earned the win by pitching three no-hit innings before Osborne and others from the bullpen finished off the game.

Looking ahead, Carolina University aims to recover as they prepare to host Pfeiffer University at home on February 28 at 4 p.m., hoping for better performance in front of their supporters.
