LEADING OFF

• Tuesday was a night these Cougars - and the program - will remember for a long time after CofC knocked off No. 2 Texas, 8-4. It was the Cougars' third-ever win over a Top-two team and the second-largest margin of victory against a Top-10 opponent in school history.
• William Privette, Reed Parris and Luke Vaks have emerged as the backbone of the Cougars' bullpen thus far combining for 46 strikeouts and only three earned runs in 35 and one-third innings over a combined 15 appearances.
• The Cougars are 8-0 this season when scoring in the first inning and have outscored their opponents by a 21-3 margin in the opening frame.
• Junior JT Marr set the tone with a first-inning grand slam against Texas on Tuesday - the Cougars' first grand slam of the season after hitting a program-record eight last spring.
• Friday starter Ty Good utilized his bullpen day in unconventional fashion on Tuesday, pitching the seventh inning against the Longhorns and striking out the side.
• Junior Donald Hansis put an exclamation point on a five-run first inning for the Cougars on Tuesday night against Texas, launching a solo homer for his second long ball in the last three games. Hansis is the Cougars' active career leader with 11 homers in his three-year tenure at The College.

SCOUTING THE PIRATES

• The Pirates come into the weekend with a 9-8 overall record after falling to No. 21 Old Dominion, 9-8, on Tuesday. East Carolina took two of three from Saint Mary's last weekend.
