PRINCESS ANNE, Maryland -- The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is in the middle of a search for a new baseball coach after declining to renew the contract of Will Gardner. Gardner was 61-260 over six seasons with the Hawks. His teams went 39-73 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play.Gardner's contract expired June 30; UMES does not announce personnel changes.
"I want to thank Coach Gardner for all of his hard work and I think that he has left the program in a stronger position than when he found it in terms of moving it forward and our level of competitiveness and talent," said UMES athletic director Keith Davidson. "It was my opinion that there were some benchmarks and expectation that had been set before the beginning of the year that weren't quite met and we need an opportunity to turn the corner with a fresher approach."
The Hawks did finish 11-13 in the MEAC this past season and won two games in the postseason conference tournament, but still finished 14-39 overall.
