CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston baseball took both games of a twinbill Friday to take a CAA series from Hofstra. Game one saw the Cougars post a 7-2 win overcoming an early 2-0 hole then followed it with a walkoff bases-loaded hit-by-pitch for an 8-7 victory in the nightcap.

Cole Mathis had four extra base hits over the doubleheader smacking two doubles, a triple and a home run while Jared Kirven went yard and Trotter Harlan had a solo home run then the game-winning RBI on the hit by pitch.

Charleston got strong starts on the mound from both Ty Good and Trey Pooser with Good picking up his third win of the season tossing a season-best 6.2 innings allowing just two runs on three hits and striking out three. Pooser tossed 5.2 innings allowing just one earned run and striking out a season-best 7 Pride batters in a no-decision.
