ORANGEBURG, S.C. – College of Charleston ran its winning streak to five games with a sweep over South Carolina State by scores of 15-7 and 2-1 on Wednesday.

Game 1

The Cougars scored their most runs in a game since a 15-1 win over Delaware State on Feb. 15, 2020.
Karlee Hughes stole three bases for the second straight game, and the total of nine tied the team record set against Maine on Feb. 29, 2020.
Freshman Sally Trent had three hits and joined fellow first-year player Bricelyn Bedenbaugh with three RBI.
Bedenbaugh's RBI came on her first career home run as a pinch hitter in the fifth.
Kaytlin Stacey added two hits, scored three times and knocked in a pair.
Sierra Paradis ran her hitting streak to seven before seeing it come to an end in the nightcap.

Game 2

Unlike the opener, the second game was a pitching duel with Lily Thorpe tossing her first career complete game.
Thorpe allowed five hits, walked only one and struck out four and worked out of a bases loaded, nobody out jam in the fourth.
The Cougars scored in the first when Julia Sitterding singled, advanced to third on a steal and error and came across on a wild pitch.
Charleston broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth. Austy Miller was hit by a pitch, stole second and eventually scored on an error.
SC State got a one-out baserunner in the sixth before Thorpe retired the final five batters.

The Cougars return to Patriots Point for a CAA series against UNCW beginning on Friday at 5 p.m.
