Last Time Out
The Cougars swept a three-game series from Furman over the weekend, and outscored the Paladins by an 18-5 margin. Chris Graham went 7-for-10 in the series, while Griffin McLarty, Brooks Lucas, and Josh Price combined for 16 shutout innings.
 
Giant Killers
The trio of Dupree Hart, Logan McRae, and Danny Wondrack have been nothing short of superb against the Cougars' most challenging opponents this season, combining for three home runs, 22 RBI, a .410 batting average, and a .614 slugging percentage in CofC's seven games against UConn, Coastal Carolina, and Arizona.
 
Coming Through in the Clutch
Chris Graham delivered perhaps his most important hit of the season for the Cougars on Sunday with a two-run single in the eighth inning. The base knock allowed Luke Manzo and McLendon Sears to score, and break a 1-1 deadlock with Furman en route to a 3-1 win.
 
Dealin' Rookie
Redshirt freshman Brooks Lucas stole the show during the Cougars' 3-1 win over Furman on Sunday afternoon, striking out seven over six shutout innings to earn his first collegiate win. The Greenville, S.C. native tossed a total of 7.1 scoreless frames last week to collect CAA Rookie of the Week honors on Monday.
 
Slugging Senior
Senior catcher Danny Wondrack sent two balls over the wall for the third time in his career on Friday to lead the Cougars to a 13-3 series-opening win over Furman. After clubbing a three-run shot in the sixth, Wondrack replicated the feat in the seventh to set a new career-high with six RBI.
