Cougars Rally to Take Midweek from Palmetto Rival Coastal Carolina

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Senior infielder Will Baumhofer continued his hot streak at the plate delivering an opposite-field two-run, go-ahead double in the eighth inning as Charleston (4-3) defeated in-state rival Coastal Carolina (4-3) 4-3 Tuesday afternoon.
 
Jared Kirven added three hits on the night none bigger than his two-out single through the right side to set the scene for Baumhofer's heroics.

How It Happened
  • Coastal Carolina struck first on a two-run opposite field home run in the second inning. Jack Billings and Darin Horn held the Cougar offense in check allowing just three hits across the first six scoreless innings.
  • The Chanticleers would add on to their lead with a solo home run in the sixth but that would be it for the rest of night.
  • Charleston got on the board in the seventh as Jared Kirven led off with a double to left then came around to score on an infield single and throwing error.
  • Luke Wood delivered a pinch-hit, two-out RBI double to right center bringing the Cougars within 3-2 through seven innings.
  • Jared Kirven delivered another huge hit as he snuck a ball through the right side to keep the eighth inning alive for Charleston.
  • In the very next at-bat Will Baumhofer capped the Cougar comeback with a two-out, two-run double down the left field line to give Charleston their first lead of the night.
  • William Privette tossed two perfect innings to earn the win and put the finishing touch on Charleston's third-straight win.
 
Key Cougars
  • Will Baumhofer finished 1-for-4 at the plate but came up clutch with the game-winning two-run double in the eighth inning.
  • Jared Kirven added a 3-for-4 performance at the dish scoring two runs including the game-winner.
  • Cole Mathis tossed four innings of three-hit, eight-strikeout baseball setting a new career high for punched tickets.
  • Luke Wood added a pinch-hit, two-out double to right center to make the game 3-2 through seven innings.
  • William Privette and Bobby Alexander shut down the Chanticleer bats over the final 2.1 innings to preserve the comeback win.
 
Notes
  • Cole Mathis struck out eight Chanticleers over his four innings of work setting a new career high.
  • Will Baumhofer's two-run double set a new career-high in RBI as the senior is hitting .600 on the season collecting seven of his nine hits over the last three Charleston wins.
  • Charleston pitching racked up 12 strikeouts Tuesday night tying a season-high mark set on an Opening Night win over No. 14 Virginia Tech.
  • Tuesday's win moves the Cougars to 1-0 in midweek contests this season and snaps a three-game skid to the Chanticleers. Charleston also evened the all-time series at 26-all with the comeback win.
