CHARLESTON’S POSTSEASON RUN ENDS IN CAA SEMIFINALS



ELON, N.C. --- The Northeastern Huskies pushed across five runs with two outs in the second inning and put the brakes on a late College of Charleston rally to end the top-seeded Cougars’ run in the 2022 CAA Championship with a 6-3 decision on Saturday afternoon at Latham Park.



LEADING OFF

Final Score: Northeastern 6, College of Charleston 3

Location: Elon, N.C. (Latham Park)

Records: Charleston (37-19), Northeastern (31-28-1)



HOW IT HAPPENED



  *   Northeastern struck first in the top of the second, plating five runs on a bases-clearing double by Jeff Costello and a two-run shot off the bat of Corey DiLoretto.

  *   The Huskies pushed the margin to 6-0 on an RBI single by Teddy Beaudet in the fifth.

  *   Charleston fought back in the home half, cutting the deficit to 6-2 on a two-run single from Landon Choboy.

  *   Senior Tanner McCallister continued the rally in the sixth with a solo homer to left that trimmed the margin to 6-3.





KEY COUGARS



  *   Harlan reached base three times and delivered his second multi-hit game of the week with a double, a single, a walk and a run scored.

  *   Choboy collected his third and fourth RBI in a 24-hour span with his two-run single in the fifth.

  *   McCallister mashed his third homer of the season and seventh of his career.

  *   Sam Cochrane and Joseph Mershon each drew a pair of walks while Mershon added a single in a 1-for-2 effort.

  *   Freshman Cole Mathis allowed one run and scattered four hits across five and one-third innings out of the ‘pen to keep the Cougars within striking distance.

  *   Reed Parris retired all six batters he faced in the eighth and ninth.



FOR THE NOTEBOOK



  *   With the setback, Charleston finishes the season as the final team eliminated before the championship round of the CAA Tournament for the second year in a row.

  *   The Cougars stranded eight runners in scoring position and were limited to a 4-for-21 clip with men on base.

  *   Northeastern scored all six of its runs with two outs.

  *   Charleston plated at least two runs with two down for the 32nd time this season.
