Game Summary
- The Cougars fell behind 3-0 before beginning their comeback in the second on a double by Savannah Scott for her first career hit and RBI.
- Singles by Jay Wrightsman and Julia Sitterding and stolen bases by both led to a two-run double by Sierra Paradis that tied it in the third.
- The teams traded runs in the fourth with the Cougars scoring on a single by Karlee Hughes, a stolen base and an RBI single by Sally Trent.
- Kendall Thackston went the first four innings before Lily Thorpe entered in the fifth with the game tied at 4.
- Thorpe retired the Pirates in order in the fifth but had to escape a bases loaded jam in the sixth that was created by three infield singles.
- That set the stage for the Charleston uprising in its half of the sixth that was highlighted by a Paradis single for her third RBI of the game.
- A dropped fly ball in left resulted in three more Cougar runs that blew the game open.
- Mackenzie Mathis finished in the seventh and worked a 1-2-3 inning including a pair of strikeouts.
The Cougars and Pirates wrap up their series with a doubleheader on Saturday at 2 p.m.
