TOWSON, Md. --- The College of Charleston baseball team scored twice in the ninth, and put two runners in scoring position with one out, but were unable to close the gap further as the Cougars fell to Towson, 5-3, on Sunday in Colonial Athletic Association play.

Joey Mundy (Huntington, W.Va.), Luke Morgan (New Lenox, Ill.), and Tommy Richter (Wayne, Pa.) each scored a run, while Dupree Hart (Rock Hill, S.C.) collected his 17^th RBI of the season.

Jakob Frishmuth (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) surrendered four runs on six hits in four and one-third innings to take the loss. Justin Baker (Huntersville, N.C.) allowed one run and struck out four in three and two-thirds out of the bullpen.

Mark Grunberg and Colin Gimblet each drove in two runs to lead the way for Towson, as Richie Palacios went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. Trey Martinez also picked up an RBI. Alex Cuas held the Cougars to on unearned run on four hits and struck out seven in seven innings to earn the win.
