A solo home run in the fourth made it 3-0 Seahawks before Charleston scratched across a run in the home half.

Notes

Jared Kirven threw out two potential base stealers Saturday – one in the second and another in the seventh – tying his season-high mark. Kirven has thrown out 10 base runners this season and 30 in his career at the College.
Kirven became the fourth Cougar catcher to throw out 30 base runners in a career joining Ereven Roper, Alex Garabedian and Danny Wondrack. Kirven also moved into third all-time in opponents' stolen base percentage with his 2-for-2 day behind the plate.
Cole Mathis finished the day 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored for his fifth three-hit game of the season. Mathis bumped his average to a team-high .331 and collected his team-best 43rd RBI.
Trey Pooser struck out seven batters Saturday over 5.1 innings of work – the third time the Hanahan native has struck out seven this season. Pooser also set a new career-high of 56 strikeouts in a single season surpassing last season's 51.
