Last Time Out
The Cougars dropped their sixth straight game with a 5-4 setback to Georgia Southern on Tuesday after a ninth-inning rally fell short. Luke Morgan drove in two, as all nine Cougar batters reached base.
National Rankings
The Cougars enter the weekend leading the nation in walks allowed per nine innings (2.22) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.99), while ranking second in WHIP (1.10), seventh in shutouts (6), eighth in earned run average (2.97), and 11th in sacrifice bunts (38).
Keeping Them In The Yard
Charleston's pitching staff continues to impress more than halfway through the season, allowing 13 home runs and limiting the opposition to a .591 on-base plus slugging percentage through 42 games. The Cougars are outscoring their opponents 221-149 thus far.
On-Base Machine
Dupree Hart has reached base in 39 of the Cougars' last 43 games dating back to last season. He has hit safely in all but eight games this season, and leads the Cougars in on-base percentage (.412) while ranking second in batting average (.335). Logan McRae had a 20-game reached base streak snapped in game one of the doubleheader with James Madison.
Scouting Delaware
Delaware enters the weekend with a 22-17 overall record after taking two-of-three from James Madison last weekend. The Blue Hens are batting .246 as a team with 18 home runs this season.
Nick Patten leads the team with 12 doubles, five home runs and 20 RBIs while batting .255. Kyle Hinton and Billy Sullivan IV have combined for eight wins and a 2.54 ERA in 19 starts.
