CHARLESTON, S.C. --- The fourth-seeded College of Charleston baseball team is primed and ready to open play in the 2021 Colonial Athletic Association Championship and will face fifth-seeded Towson in the first game of the championship on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. at Brooks Field in Wilmington, N.C.
Â
Game Preview
The fourth-seeded Cougars and fifth-seeded Tigers will meet for the 23rd time on Wednesday and first time ever in the postseason. Charleston finished the regular season with a 12-12 mark in CAA South play compared to an 11-12 record in CAA North action for Towson.
Â
Scouting Towson
Towson carries a 21-34 overall record into the postseason and finished second in the CAA North Division behind top-seeded Northeastern. The Tigers are batting .229 as a team with 22 home runs and have compiled a 5.59 team ERA this season.
Â
Bill Godrick leads the Tigers with a .260 batting average while Noah Cabrera paces the squad with 32 RBI. Burke Camper has launched a squad-best four homers. Wednesday starter Josh Seils is 3-6 this season with a 6.03 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 77.2 innings pitched.
Â
Last Time Out
The Cougars dropped two of three to the Elon Phoenix on the regular season's final weekend as their Senior Day rally came up just short despite a seven-run fourth inning.
Â
Two-Out Terrors
Charleston's offense has done nearly half of its damage with two outs this season entering the CAA Tournament having scored 133 of its 291 total runs (45.7 %) with two down. More than 43 percent of the Cougars' total RBI (113 of 262) have come with one out remaining, led by Harrison Hawkins with 29 two-out runs driven in.
Â
Venerated Cougars
Five Cougars collected postseason honors from the CAA on Tuesday led by senior outfielder Harrison Hawkins who earned a spot on the All-CAA First Team. Jared Kirven, Joseph Mershon, Tanner Steffy and Trey Pooser were each named to the All-CAA Second Team while Mershon and Pooser both collected CAA All-Rookie honors as well.
