Charleston Baseball Hosts Liberty in Midweek Showdown

Charleston Baseball Hosts Liberty in Midweek Showdown

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston baseball team is gearing up to host the Liberty Flames in an exciting midweek matchup at Patriots Point.

Last Time Out

The Cougars are looking to bounce back after a series of close losses to Nebraska over the weekend. Despite holding leads in all three games, Charleston was unable to secure a win against the Huskers.

In the opener, Charleston’s pitchers Hayden Thomas and Alex Lyon put on a solid performance, limiting Nebraska to just one run through eight innings. However, the Huskers rallied in the ninth to tie the game and eventually win in extra innings.

On Saturday, Cole Singsank’s homer gave the Cougars an early lead, but Nebraska staged a late comeback to snatch the victory. Sunday saw Charleston jump out to an early lead, only to fall short once again in the final inning.

Scouting the Flames

Liberty is coming off a tough weekend after being swept by #22 Coastal Carolina. The Flames surrendered late leads in two of the three games against the Chanticleers.

Senior infielder Aidan Sweatt leads the Flames at the plate with a .349 batting average, four doubles, 10 RBI, and two home runs. Kane Kepley has also been a key contributor, hitting .295 with two homers and a team-leading 11 walks.

Liberty has faced off against a couple of CAA opponents earlier in the season, including a series against Hofstra and a midweek matchup with UNCW.

Gameday Reminders

Gates at Patriots Park will open one hour before the first pitch. The College of Charleston has implemented a Clear Bag Policy for all athletics events. Fans are encouraged to review the policy before attending the game.

Single-game and season tickets are still available for purchase, providing fans with the opportunity to catch all the exciting baseball action throughout the season.

Don’t miss out on the thrilling showdown between Charleston and Liberty as they face off for the first time in program history. Be sure to come out and cheer on the Cougars as they look to secure a win on their home turf.
