Pooser, Cougars Snuff Out Phoenix at CAA Championship

ELON, N.C. --- Junior Trey Pooser delivered a masterful performance on the mound and Landon Choboy and Luke Wood highlighted a four-run first inning with back-to-back homers to lead College of Charleston to a 6-1 win over Elon in an elimination game on Friday night in the CAA Championship at Latham Park.
 
LEADING OFF
Final Score: College of Charleston 6, Elon 1
Location: Elon, N.C. (Latham Park)
Records: Charleston (37-18), Elon (27-28)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Pooser set the tone early battling his way out of a jam and stranding two Phoenix in scoring position in the first.
  • Charleston's offense wasted little time pushing across four runs in the bottom of the first to take an early 4-0 lead.
  • Freshman Tyler Sorrentino singled, moved to second on a walk and came around to score the game's first run, sliding in under the tag after the second baseman hesitated on a potential double play ball.
  • Choboy unloaded on a 2-0 pitch moments later launching a mammoth two-run blast to left to put the Cougars ahead, 3-0.
  • Wood added the exclamation point in the next at bat sending a 1-2 pitch over the wall in right center for his seventh homer of the season.
  • Elon got on the board in the fourth when Luke Stephenson led off with a double and scored on a sac fly to trim the margin to 4-1.
  • The Cougars answered in the fifth stretching the advantage back to four runs on an RBI ground out by Wood that plated Trotter Harlan from third.
  • Cam Dean led off the eighth with a double down the left field line and scored on a Sam Cochrane sac fly to equal the final margin of 6-1.
KEY COUGARS
  • Pooser was electric limiting Elon to one run on four hits while striking out seven in seven and one-third innings of work.
  • Choboy and Wood each homered and drove in two runs to pace the offense.
  • Sorrentino went 1-for-4 with a run scored and made several stellar plays in center field.
  • William Privette retired five in a row and struck out two over one and two-thirds to shut the door.
 FOR THE NOTEBOOK
  • The Cougars have now eliminated Elon from the CAA Championship in back-to-back seasons.
  • With the victory, Charleston completes a four-game season sweep of the Phoenix.
  • Choboy and Wood are the first Cougar duo to hit back-to-back homers since opening weekend against Wagner.
  • Pooser and Privette combined to hold Elon without a hit with runners on base in seven opportunities.
  • Charleston scored at least two runs with two outs for the 31st time this season.
  • The Cougars are 21-4 when scoring in the opening frame.
