How It Happened

  • Three more came home in the fourth on a JT Marr sac fly and two-run single from Trotter Harlan – his first of five driven-in Sunday.
  • Joseph Merhson made it 5-0 Cougars through five innings singling home Tanner McCallister.
  • Mathis helped his own cause once again with an RBI single to score Khyree Miller in the seventh.
  • Harlan came within a few feet of a grand slam in the seventh but cleared the bases anyway making it 11-0 Cougars at the time. The bases-clearing double gave Harlan 5 RBI on the day, a new career-high for the senior outfielder.
  • Western Carolina would finally scratch the scoreboard in the eighth scoring two then adding one final tally in the ninth for the 11-3 final.
