MT PLEASANT, S.C. – The College of Charleston baseball team begins the 2025 season with a three-game series against VCU, beginning on Friday, Feb. 14.

First pitches from Patriots Point this weekend are scheduled for 4 p.m., 2 p.m. and 1 p.m. All Charleston home games will air live on FloCollege.

FIRST PITCH:

Since 2006, CofC is 18-1 on Opening Day and 7-0 under head coach Chad Holbrook. Notable victories during that span include Kentucky (2011), North Carolina (2014), South Carolina (2015), Georgia (2017) and No. 14 Virginia Tech (2023).
Holbrook named junior Jake Brink the 2025 Opening Day starter. Brink tossed five shutout videos in the Cougars 15-3 home opening victory last season versus Marshall.
Brink, a 2024 All-CAA Second Team member, was one of six Cougars to earn Preseason CAA honors entering the 2025 campaign.
Brink was named the CAA Preseason Pitcher of the Year in D1 Baseball's CAA preview. Freshman Landon Penfield was selected as the conference Freshman of the Year while a total of 14 Cougars were either named in the league preview or were ranked in the publication's national preseason positional rankings.
Senior Davis Aiken was named to the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Watch List on Feb. 12. Aiken appeared in 30 games last season, recording 11 saves for the Cougars.

The Rams were CofC's last opponent in the 2020 season before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cougars defeated VCU, 8-3, at Patriots Point. All seven of the games in the all-time series between the two teams have been played in Charleston.
