PC (10-23, 2-8 BSC) stranded 12 runners on base in the game where the Blue Hose posted the season's second highest run total.  Alex Loftin crossed the plate a team high three times as he went 3-for-5 in the game.  Gabe Grammer was 4-for-6 while Mack Hite, Kenny Bryant and Tony Micklon each tallied three hits.  Charleston Southern (10-23, 4-8 BSC) tallied 15 hits in the game.

After both teams went scoreless in the first inning, both teams scored two runs in the second inning. 

Tied at 2-2, Micklon knocked his third home run of the season just inside the left field foul pole.  The run would give PC a lead that would not be relinquished. 

Two more runs in both the fourth and fifth inning extended the lead to 7-3 on the day.

Both teams were blanked in the sixth, but it was PC's five runs in the seventh inning that blew the game open.  The big inning came as PC sent 10 batters to the plate and tallied five hits and benefited from a Buccaneer error in the inning.

PC's starting pitcher, Jesse Harmon, exited after the seventh inning.  He held Charleston Southern to just three hits off 11 hits.  He walked one and struck out six in the game to improve to 2-5 on the season.

The Bucs struck back with four in the eighth to cut the lead to 12-7 going into the middle of the eighth inning.  PC answered with two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth.  In the inning, PC went over 20 hits for the first time this season, finishing the game with 21.

Jordan Pace came in and nailed down the win by working the final inning and two thirds, holding CSU to just one hit.
