Charleston, S.C. – College of Charleston plays the last of 22 consecutive home games Wednesday when Ohio State visits Patriots Point for a 2 p.m. contest.
Admission is free and the game will be streamed on FloSoftball. This is the first meeting between the Cougars and Buckeyes.
The Cougars are coming off a series win over Delaware in their CAA opener last weekend. Caroline Conner limited the Blue Hens to only three hits and two unearned runs in 12 innings to pick up both Charleston wins and earn the CAA Pitcher of the Week award.
The bats also erupted with five home runs in the series, including two by Karlee Hughes in a 4-2 win on Saturday. Malaka Belser hit a three-run shot and drove in five in a 9-0 victory on Sunday. Shealyn Starks and Kelli Anne Carter homered in the game one loss.
Ohio State is 9-7 entering a Tuesday night doubleheader at Charleston Southern. The Buckeyes were 36-17 a year ago and played in the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in the past six times the event was held.
