Box Score

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. – College of Charleston scored six runs with two outs in the second and never looked back in a 9-1 six-inning victory over Towson on Saturday to clinch the CAA series win.

The Cougars (20-22, 11-6 CAA) have won four conference series for the first time since 2017 and reached the 20-win mark for the first time since 2019. Charleston is 10-1 in CAA games at Patriots Point and have won seven straight, allowing only five runs over that span.

Game Summary

The Cougars trailed 1-0 and had nobody on with two outs in the second before taking control of the game.
Halle Cannon and Jay Wrightsman had RBI singles to put Charleston in front, and Austy Miller and Leela Langston added two-run hits to make it 6-1.
Cannon continued the two-out magic in the third with a solo home run to center, and Langston drove in her third run with a sac fly in the fourth.
Needing one run in the sixth to end the game, Kennedy Rhue singled in Wrightsman to walk it off.
Miller and Rhue both had three of Charleston's 12 hits, and Wrightsman and Cannon had two apiece.
Mackenzie Mathis was the beneficiary of the offensive attack, allowing three hits and fanning five in a complete game.
Mathis, who retired 11 in a row at one point, lowered her overall ERA to 2.97 and is third in the CAA with a 1.52 conference ERA.
