The Bucs came away with a rare win over their crosstown rivals, snapping a five-game losing streak to the Cougars with a 9-6 win.<\/p>\n
CSU improved to 25-19 this season and won against the Cougs for only the second time in 11 games. College of Charleston dropped to 22-25 on the season.<\/p>\n
CSU\u2019s Kain Collins scored three runs and Alex Marot had four RBIs as the Bucs ripped off 14 hits as a team. Garrison Barile, Ethan Reader and Caden Wolfley joined Collins with two hits each.<\/p>\n
Ethan Plyler led CofC with three hits.<\/p>\n
Cougars\u2019 right fielder Jake Amman, a James Island grad, led off the game with a solo homer to center to spot the Cougs to an early lead.<\/p>\n
The lead did not last long as the Bucs tied the game with a run-scoring single by Marot with two outs in the bottom of the first.<\/p>\n
Collins led off the bottom of the third with his second double of the game. Two outs later, Marot delivered again, this time with a two-run homer to left center and a 3-1 Bucs lead.<\/p>\n
Dylan Johnson led off the CofC fourth with a double and later scored on Plyler\u2019s single. The Cougs tied the score at 3 on Peyton Frehner\u2019s RBI single, but CofC left the bases loaded in the fourth.<\/p>\n
The Bucs added an unearned run in the fourth, taking a 4-3 lead on Blake Edgmon\u2019s single to score Ethan Reader, who reached base on an error.<\/p>\n
Alex LaCoste\u00a0dropped a two-out bomb to left center to tie the game at 4 in the top of the fifth for the Cougars. But CSU answered with a long ball, a homer to left by Barile after two were out to regain the 5-4 lead after five innings.<\/p>\n
CSU added a run in the sixth when Tyler Wright\u2019s RBI single scored Wolfley, who had doubled with two outs. Reader\u2019s two-run single pushed CSU to a 8-4 lead after seven innings.<\/p>\n
Amman and LaCoste added run-scoring singles in the eighth to trim CSU\u2019s lead to 8-6, but the Cougars again left two runners on base.<\/p>\n
Collins reached base for the fourth time in the bottom of the eighth and came around to score on Marot\u2019s sacrifice fly to center, pushing the Bucs\u2019 lead to 9-6 heading into the ninth.<\/p>\n
Both teams resume conference play on the road this weekend. College of Charleston will travel to Elon while CSU visits Longwood.
