Weekend home games will be broadcast from the Richard Gray Baseball Complex behind the Hardeeville town complex. Broadcast commentary on the games is being provided by Justin Jarrett of the Beaufort Gazette and Island Packet and USCB’s Korey Snowden.
Upcoming game dates scheduled for broadcast by the county are:
2/20 – USCB’s 1st Annual HOMECOMING: Double-header against Embry-Riddle University. First pitch noon.
3/27 - USCB vs. Southeastern University: Double-header. First pitch noon.
4/10 - USCB vs. Edward Waters: Double-header. First pitch 1:00pm.

USCB is fortunate to have a generous partner like Beaufort County helping us make Sand Shark baseball accessible to fans throughout the county – especially those who may be unable to physically attend the games. We look forward to this and future programming opportunities with The County Channel this year,” said USCB Chancellor, Dr. Jane T. Upshaw.
Beaufort County Administrator, Gary Kubic, said County broadcasts provide another venue for serving citizens. “We look forward to more partnership opportunities with USCB in the future. Anytime we are able to highlight another worthwhile feature of our community, we feel privileged to do so.”
