Box Score (PDF)

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel baseball team fell to the College of Charleston on Friday night inside Joe Riley Park 5-1.
 
JP Sears got his third start of the season on the bump for the Bulldogs (5-3), pitching five innings and giving up one run. The sophomore had three strikeouts and a season-high four walks in the contest and was saddled with the loss to give him a 2-1 record this season. As a staff, The Citadel had eight walks and five strikeouts while using six pitchers.
 
Jason Smith, Philip Watcher, Ben Peden and Clay Martin all registered hits for the Bulldogs with Smith recording the only RBI in the game for The Citadel. After Martin laced a one-out double to deep left field in the bottom of the 9th inning, Smith came to the plate and knocked a single over the second baseman's head to plate Martin. The run was the first allowed this season by the Cougars' starting pitcher Nathan Helvey and snapped a streak of 20.0 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run.
 
Saturday's 2:30 p.m. contest at Patriots Point will be the first road game of the season for the Bulldogs. Live stats will be available at CitadelSports.com. The two teams play the final game of their three-game series Sunday back at Joe Riley Park. Live stats and video for the 1 p.m. start will be available at CitadelSports.com.
