Jordin Jones' Home Run Powers Cougars Past Coastal Carolina

Mount Pleasant, S.C. – Jordin Jones blasted a home run over the fence in left with one out in the sixth to lift the College of Charleston to a 2-1 win over Coastal Carolina in a non-conference contest Tuesday at Patriots Point.

The Cougars extended their winning streak to five and moved a season-best eight games over .500 at 25-17. The Chanticleers dropped to 29-16.

The game was tied at 1 when Jones broke up the pitcher's duel with her sixth home run of the season, tying her with Taylor Belfiore for the team lead. A walk to Sara Garcia and single by Belfiore put runners on the corners with one out, but Katie Padilla flied out to center and pinch runner Izzy McCluskey was thrown out at the plate to keep it a one-run game.

Izzy Berouty, the reigning Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week, finished off the win with a perfect seventh and has been the winning pitcher in all five games of the current Cougar streak. She worked 2.1 innings of one-hit shutout relief after coming on with the bases loaded in the fifth and retiring clean up hitter Kassidy Smith on a fly out to left.

Berouty allowed a two-out single in the sixth before the 1-2-3 seventh to take over the team lead with her eighth win of the year. Starter Sydney Shipley allowed five hits and the Coastal run in 4.2 innings. Ashley Guillette surrendered the Jones' home run and fell to 11-7 on the year. She went 5.1 innings and allowed five hits.

Coastal took a quick 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Kailey Mellen and had chances to increase its margin after doubles in two of the next three innings. But Shipley worked out of a two-on jam in the second, and Yari Felix threw out a runner at home trying to score on a fly out to center in the fourth.

CofC tied it in the fourth when Garcia singled with two outs and raced home on a double into the right field corner by Belfiore, the lone Cougar with a multiple hit game.

The Cougars play again tomorrow with a 2:00 doubleheader at Gardner-Webb before returning home for a CAA series against Delaware. Saturday's 2:00 twinbill will be Kids Day, with children receiving free entry with the purchase of an adult ticket. The first 100 kids will get a free lunch box.

The series with the Blue Hens concludes with a single game on Sunday at 12:30.
