MT.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Phoenix struck for four runs in the fourth to take a 4-0 lead which they would extend to 5-0 with another tally in the top of the sixth. Charleston began to mount the comeback in the home half of the sixth, cutting the deficit to 5-2 on a two-run single by Ari Sechopoulos. A two-out, two-run double from Trotter Harlan in the seventh would cut the margin to 5-4 and, after pinch-hitter Jaxon Weatherford drew a bases-loaded walk to tie it at 5-5 in the eighth, Choboy snuck a chopper through the left side to score two and give CofC a 7-5 lead. Ty Good then fanned one and induced an inning-ending double play ball in the ninth to close out the one-run victory.
 
STANDOUT PERFORMANCE
Harlan finished the night 3-for-5 with two singles and his clutch two-out, two-run double to right center in the seventh that cut the deficit to 5-4.
 
NOTABLES
  • The Cougars scored all seven of their runs with two outs with batting .538 (7-for-13) with two down.
  • Brooks Lucas came in with two outs and a man on third in the sixth and shut the door, tossing two and one-third innings of shutout baseball with a strikeout to earn the win.
  • Sechopoulos went 2-for-3 with a walk and his rally-starting two-run single.
  • Harrison Hawkins finished the night 2-for-4 with a run scored.
  • Choboy pinch-hit in the seventh and delivered the game-winning two-run single in the eighth.
  • Trey Pooser battled through five and two-thirds innings allowing three earned runs and striking out three.
  • Good fanned one and induced a game-ending double play ball in the ninth to earn his first save of the season.
