The two teams last met in 2022, with Penn sweeping a two-game set in Charleston. However, the Cougars are coming into this weekend’s series with renewed energy after a convincing 8-2 victory over Liberty in their midweek game. The win improved Charleston’s season record to 8-3, setting the stage for an exciting showdown with Penn.
In their midweek game against Liberty, the Cougars displayed solid all-around performance. Despite falling behind 1-0 early, Charleston’s bats came alive in the second inning, leading to a four-run rally highlighted by a two-RBI single from Cole Mathis. The Cougars’ pitching held Liberty to just one run for the rest of the game, with Andrew Duval and Alex Lyon each delivering strong relief performances. Charleston further solidified their lead with another four-run rally in the 8th inning, securing the victory with a final score of 8-2.
Penn enters the weekend series with a 3-6 record. After facing tough competition in their early season matchups, including a two-game set with Charleston Southern, the Quakers are looking to make their mark against the Cougars. With a history of success, including a previous Ivy League Tournament Crown and NCAA Tournament appearance, Penn presents a formidable challenge for Charleston.
The Quakers boast a talented lineup, led by reigning Ivy League Coach of the Year John Yurkow. With key returning players such as Ryan Dromboski, the 2023 Ivy League Pitcher of the Year, and six All-Ivy picks, Penn has the experience and skill to compete at a high level. The team was unanimously chosen as the number one pick in the Ivy League preseason poll, underscoring their potential for success.
For fans attending the games at Patriots Park, gates will open one hour before the first pitch. The College of Charleston has implemented a Clear Bag Policy for athletics events to ensure the safety and security of all attendees. Single-game and season tickets are still available for purchase, offering fans the chance to catch all the action live.
As Charleston prepares to take on Penn in this highly anticipated four-game series, the stage is set for a weekend of exciting baseball. Be sure to secure your tickets and come out to support the Cougars as they look to continue their winning ways against a tough Quakers team.
