How It Happened

  • Charleston came out swinging in the first inning scratching across two runs on a Trotter Harlan two-run double down the left field line to score Tyler Sorrentino and Joseph Mershon.
  • Michigan State would scratch one back in the fourth but wouldn't get any closer.
  • Charleston answered the Spartan run with two more in the bottom half of the fourth on back-to-back RBI knocks from Harlan and Luke Wood.
  • The Cougars opened it up with three more in the fifth, the first coming on a 114 MPH Cole Mathis double down the left field line. Mathis would score on a Sorrentino single then Mershon drove home the final run of the inning with a single through the left side.
  • Michigan State got their final two runs on an opposite field home run from Brock Vradenburg.
  • A second Cole Mathis double would score Khyree Miller in the seventh and Charleston added their final two runs on a Wood RBI groundout and Will Baumhofer infield single and throwing error.
 
Key Cougars
  • Trotter Harlan and Cole Mathis both had three-hit days, their second in as many days. Harlan finished the day 3-for-5 with 3 RBI and Mathis went 3-for-4 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. Mathis made it back-to-back days with two doubles, the only Cougar with multi-double games this season.
  • Joseph Mershon (3), Khyree Miller (2) and Mathis (2) each scored multiple times in the win Sunday. Mershon added a double and walk to finish 2-for-4.
  • Andrew Duval tossed 5.0 innings allowing just one run and striking out three to earn his second win of the season.
 
Notes
  • Luke Wood and Will Baumhofer pushed their hit streaks to eight-straight in the Cougar win.
  • Khyree Miller and Joseph Mershon have each reached safely in the Cougars' first 10 games of the season. Mershon's 2-for-4 day gave him a team-high 5 multi-hit efforts.
  • Aidan Hunter collected his first collegiate save tossing the final three frames Sunday striking out three Spartan batters.
