HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Eagles struck first, putting up two runs in the bottom of the first, one off a fielder's choice that scored Luke Hannum from third and an Andrew Jenner single that brought home Dillon Morton.
  • After Winthrop's two-run first inning, both teams were scoreless through the third inning.
  • The Eagles struck again in the bottom of the 4th inning. Andrew Jenner led the inning off with a walk, followed by a Ty Hooks-single to left field. Jenner advanced to third on a wild pitch to get himself in scoring position.
  • Matt Levenson flew out deep to center field, enough for Jenner to tag up and come home, putting Winthrop ahead, 3-0.
  • Both pitchers settled in, putting up back-to-back scoreless innings in the 5th and 6th.
  • Charleston Southern's Andrew Bullock led off the 7th inning with a blast to right field, scoring the Bucs only run of the night.
  • The Eagles would respond in their half of the 7th, getting a run back when Dillon Morton singled, scoring Hannum, who earlier stole second and advanced to third on Joey Tepper's fly-out.
  • Lumpkin exited the contest with a 4-1 lead after seven innings. He was relieved by Aaron White, who only faced one batter.
  • Dalton Mims would come in, striking out the first batter he faced.
  • Spencer Yankle threw out CSU's Kyle Sandstrom, before Mims gave up a triple to Houston Parker. He got the next batter to ground out, getting out of trouble with no damage done.
  • Colten Rendon recorded his second save of the season, after sitting down the middle of Charleston Southern's lineup, 1-2-3, to secure the 4-1 win.
