FRESHMAN PHENOM

He leads the Blue Hose in several statistical categories, including batting average (.352), hits (44), runs scored (tied with Green at 32), on-base percentage (.472), stolen bases (tied with Green at 11), and doubles (10). He ranks in the top 5 of the league in batting average (4th). He sits in the top 10 in on-base percentage (7th), doubles (T-8th), runs scored (T-9th), and stolen bases (T-10th). He has been named Big South Freshman of the Week twice (March 23, April 6) and leads the team with 15 multi-hit games.
RECORD-BREAKING ROLLISON
Matthew Rollison delivered a record-breaking performance at Charleston Southern on April 4. Against the Buccaneers, he homered three times, tying the PC Division 1 single-game home run record, joining Andrew Williams and Brad Zebedis in 2012. He finished the game 3-for-5 with seven RBIs. His seven RBIs are tied for the second most by a PC player in a single game in the D1 era. Only Nick Wise had more, logging eight at UNC Asheville in 2018. Rollison was named Big South Player of the Week for his performance on April 6. He was also named to Baseball America's National Team of the Week. On the season, he leads the team in home runs (tied with Dewberry with 6), OPS (.965), and total bases (71).
COMPLETE GAME PITCHING
The Blue Hose threw back-to-back complete games in PC's first conference series of the year against UNC Asheville. On March 14, Christian Charalambous threw a complete game shutout, going all nine innings. He allowed just four hits and struck out seven. His complete game shutout is the first PC complete game shutout since Brian Kehner on March 17, 2017 against Army. Tristan McGregor followed with PC's second complete game in as many days on March 15, pitching all seven innings while punching out 11 (both career-highs).
