Gabe Marchant homered and had four hits and Charleston's bullpen allowed only one run over the final eight innings in leading the College of Charleston to a come-from-behind 7-6 win over Georgia Southern in the rubber game of its Southern Conference series before 448 at windy Patriots Point Stadium on Sunday.

Charleston, which improved to 18-9 overall and 5-1 in league play, plays at Charleston Southern on Tuesday at 2:00.  The Eagles fell to 15-10 and 4-2.

The trio of Mike Lynn, Casey Lucchese and Jesse Simpson allowed only five hits with five strikeouts over the final eight frames.  Lynn allowed a run on five hits with two strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings of work.  Lucchese (3-1) picked up the win working 2/3 of an inning and Simpson recorded his fourth save of the season allowing no hits with three strikeouts over the final two innings.  Justin Davis (1-2) suffered the loss in relief for the Eagles.

Charleston, which trailed 6-1 entering the fifth inning, got an RBI grounder from Joash Brodin and a two-run homer from Marchant to right, his team-leading 11th of the season, that cut GSU's lead to 6-4.

Stuart Haywood's RBI single in the sixth scored Brandon Sizemore and pulled the Cougars to within 6-5.  In the bottom of the seventh, Joey Bergman singled with one out and eventually scored on Jeremie Tice's triple to right.  Tice scored to give the Cougars a 7-6 lead on a two-out error.

Marchant scored twice and drove in two runs, while Tice added two hits and two RBI.  Georgia Southern got two hits each from Ty Wright and Chris Shehan.
