COUGARS FALL TO NO. 23 CHARLOTTE TUESDAY

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- No. 23 Charlotte opened the scoring with five runs in the third and held College of Charleston to two hits in a 9-0 setback for the Cougars on Tuesday evening in midweek action at Hayes Stadium.

 

LEADING OFF

Final Score: No. 23 Charlotte 9, College of Charleston 0

Location: Charlotte, N.C. (Hayes Stadium)

Records: Charleston (15-10), Charlotte (17-7)

 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Charlotte struck first with five runs in the third to take an early 5-0 lead.
• The Niners added one in the fifth and three in the sixth to cap the scoring.
• The Cougars were held without a base hit until a leadoff single by Cam Dean in the sixth.

 

KEY COUGARS

• Dean and Sam Cochrane accounted for Charleston’s two hits – both singles.
• Trey Pooser got the start and tossed a scoreless first.
