Cougars See Win Streak Snapped in Series Opener at Campbell

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – College of Charleston had its nine-game winning streak come to an end Friday with an 11-5 loss at Campbell. The defeat drops the Cougars (29-11), one game behind UNCW in the conference standings after the Seahawks defeated William & Mary. Northeastern pulled to within one of Charleston with a victory over Elon. The Cougars also lost for just the second time in their past 13 CAA contests while Campbell improved to 27-13.

The teams play the middle game of the series on Saturday at 3 p.m.

Game Highlights

The evening started well for Charleston with an RBI double by Cole Singsank in the first inning and a run-scoring single by Cole Mathis in the third, building a 2-0 lead. The Camels scored three in their half of the third, but the Cougars evened it in the fourth when a bunt by Dylan Johnson brought home Will Baumhofer. From that point on, the Campbell bats took over.

The Camels put up four runs in the fifth to take a 7-3 lead and broke it open with four more in the eighth. Jake Brink took the loss for the Cougars, allowing six hits and seven runs in 4.1 innings. Baumhofer had a single and a double to extend his hitting streak to seven games. Mathis went 3-for-3, including his ninth home run of the season.
